Not had to put up with Heart for the past 3 years thankfully after changing jobs. Today someone had it on at work and I can't believe I still heard the same few tracks they were hammering over 3 years ago. One was Rihanna followed by Coldplay followed by Kylie.
Talk about ground hog day. Dreadful. |

Fault with Winchester Tx. High pitched noise over audio. Sounds like could be possibly STL related as the audio is much quieter so maybe pushing the AGC down.

But surely they dont want to hear Madcon or BEP's?! I just don't belive it.
So, again - why would you ignore the research? |

You'd be surprised. Listening habits don't match those of Digital Spy posters and Madcon Beggin' and The Black Eye Peas I Gotta Feeling still test very well.

Agree is a good move, just curious why Kent and no other local stations (OFCOM requirement) or is it a plan that the 10pm slot becomes regional in more areas

Since when did Heart Kent get its own late show and why?

I must admit I would enjoy heart more if they stopped playing all the cheesy songs like Time of my life and I wanna dance with somebody etc. But I am male and probably not their target audience.

There are many variations across the stations,
ie: Heart London we have Jenni Falconor 4am til 6am then she joins jamie theakston til 7am then Emma Bunton rocks up 7 til 9am then London gets Toby for an extra hour 9am til 1pm |

Thats more down to how much Emma Bunton is getting paid. It makes more sense to have her on between 7-9 when more listeners are around.

I wonder if that 10pm opt out on Heart Kent is permanent then? If it is then Global are doing a good job of it.

Can I ask why is it good? What benefit of having Anna Johnson on instead of Kat Shoob?

Because it's a local programme Kat Shoob is very good what you don,t realise it's up to the PC what ever programme the station wants to take, and also I've never heard of Anna Johnson so I think that it is good that Global are doing a local opt out.

Don't get your knickers in a twist hit. You'll likely find this is a less risky way of trying someone out on air without affecting the rest of the network, as the girl herself hasn't even mentioned it on social media, which she'd likely do if it was permanent.

I have no issue with the girl! I like her on ITV2. The issue is this notion that "normal" listeners really care where the presenter is in the country. Clair from Margate really honestly doesn't care. I bet you. Lol

That's a tough one really. There would likely be a few people that presume as its called Heart Kent that the person they are listening to is indeed in Kent, however on the whole I'd agree with you, the average listener wouldn't give a monkeys, as long as they get their fix of Black Eyed Peas and Madcon

Do you think Sharon in Gravesend really sits there and thinks "oh I wish this presenter on heart was in a studio up the road" no. Normal people couldnt give a shit. Having Heart Kent opting out of national output really makes no different to normal listeners in Kent, It brings nothing beneficial to the output. Infact its their lost as Kat is far superior.
