Once again someone has complained to Ofcom about the "More Music Variety" slogan, I think that's the third such complaint now. It has been rejected as usual.

Good on them, there's only so much Michael Buble, Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake that an individual can take...

Look on compare my radio. They say how much variety a station has, and Heart has just 13%

Heart's variety scale is alot better now than it was 12 months ago. It used to be about 8%. There are a few tracks on that compare my radio list I never expected to be there such as Stereo Love, Avicii, One Republic, so proves that they've increased the playlist to feature different tracks. Why don't you just listen to another radio station & stop moaning?

Over 1000 unique tracks now. I remember it used to be about 500.

The variety has certainly got better.

I think with OFCOM they will only listen to complaints if its nudity.

13pc is good though. It just felt odd with the request show is all.

Capital - 3pc...that top 40 is the only 40 songs they play.

It's dammm bad luck that you always seem to tune in, just as Heart are about to 'chop' a song ... Incredibly, bad luck ..
Yes, bad enough that I tuned in just as the Communards were playing. Such a great song, and then this happens:

Too early again.

Maybe those who work during the week like JK and Nick Snaith are only allowed the odd Saturday off. and can't possibly take a week off yet.

London has 979 unique tracks. Unique being a song that has only played once in that timeframe?

Love the winners promo that is going out, think I'm right in saying its the ex GWR network voice over. It's certainly a very GWR style promo with lots of screams down phone lines.

Roberto is taking some time off following the sudden loss of a family member yesterday

Matt Wilkinson will cover again for him tonight from 21:00 to 01:00

Chris Skinner from Heart Cambridgeshire will cover Roberto's show on Sunday from 19:00 to 22:00

Currently Matt will return to his early morning slot on Monday with Roberto retuning on Monday evening but this may change over the weekend

Chances are Mercury played the songs in full and didn't hack ends off
