Nothing wrong with DW, yes there are probably some slightly more lively presenters, but all round he is a” safe pair of hands”. I’d much rather listen to him or even Stuart Ellis over night IMO, than the usual presenter. I’m not going to start naming names, but he is the one where if you took away his ability to read texts and indulge his own ego with random texts, some of which sound so sycophantic , that they must be made up, from all over the world telling him how great he is, you may as well play non stop music and save that station yet more money.
At least some of the only before regional names that have hung on for dear life have something to say………………..All IMO of course.
