Anyone have any news on the Free Radio schedule post-networking?
This is my best guess, not confirmed: 01:00-06:00 Jack Wood (network) 06:00-10:00 local breakfast 10:00-14:00 local daytime (see below) 14:00-15:00 Darren Proctor (network) 15:00-19:00 local drivetime 19:00-22:00 Darryl Morris (network) 22:00-01:00 Tony Shepherd (network) For the daytime shows, I don't know who the four presenters will be. Something is wrong if Dan Morrissey doesn't get one; most likely Birmingham. Darren Lee could do one as he loses the overnight show. Other than that, Andy Martindale and Simon Hawkins are possibilities. Also, not posted here but discussed in the Heart thread is that Gemma Hill will be presenting breakfast on Heart West Midlands from Tuesday alongside Ed. Cat James hasn't been heard on air since the weekend before Christmas. I'm assuming she hasn't left permanently. Since Christmas Eve, a local show has been shared between the Birmingham and Coventry and Warwickshire stations. I could see this continuing permanently for weekends and maybe even the daytime show but I think it's very unlikely that breakfast and drivetime will be combined any time soon. |

I have said before that because of the complication of the new network, Free would merge all of its local shows with the main Free Radio studios in Birmingham. I can't see how having one name, but split shows covering the majority of the west Midlands would work under Bauer.

Mike Riddoch hasn't been on his Clyde 2 Sunday morning show for the past few weeks. If he's been sacked, then it's a terrible way to treat the best DJ on the station, the last of the Clyde originals. The only show on Clyde worth listening to now is Super Scoreboard...

The way I understand the local programming stuff means that I don't think that would be possible without deregulation. I think that everything that can be done from Birmingham is already being done there. However, the practice of different stations sharing the same name sets Free Radio apart among the other Bauer stations.

Wolverhampton and Hereford & Worcester would require deregulation to have all local shows from Birmingham too! |

Is 6pm the new time where the Scottish and Northern England City 2 stations are networked?
It was 7pm before. It's just that Gina McKie said last week that 2pm to 6pm is the new time of her show. I thought that it was something to do with it being the holiday period that her show was starting and ending 1 hour earlier. Or have they finally sorted things out post the John Leslie era to put anend the practice of a presenter coming on air for just 1 hour in the middle of the afternoon? |

One wonders if Stu Elmore will be on the radio again soon, having disappeared from Radio Aire drivetime.

![]() Unless things changed when his breakfast show was ended ( ), it had been previously suggested during the freelancer ET that he was one of the few employed broadcasters at Clyde - one of the others being George Bowie, so, I guess it would make sense that he would have annual leave, similar to Bowie who has been off breakfast for the past 2 weeks (I'm not sure if his GBX show on Hogmanay was live or not, it's often suggested the Friday slot is VTed/pre-recorded).

Well thats annoying I don't leave work until 6 and refuse to listen to some networked crap, I'd rather just put spotify on. I'd put City on but listening to Scott Hughes bleat on about some stupid comptetition and the other family of City stations at the same time every day grinds me down.
Wasn't the golden hour part 2 automated anyway? |
