Just thinking who else might be in the line up.
Jeremy Kyle Nick Margerison Carol McGiffin (yes please!) Russ Williams Mike Memdozoff Pure speculation, but just a few names to throw into the pot. |

I've been thinking this. I hope to hear somebody I've never heard of - somebody who hasn't been in the media before.
I'm not against pre-recorded programming if it's like what was on One Word. It would be good to have something like that on Talk Radio sometimes. Phone-ins and discussions aren't the only type of talk radio. I know that's where Iain Lee was most recently working, but I'm talking about people who have never had a national platform before. It would certainly be cost-effective, as those kind of presenters won't typically be used to huge salaries. |

But then again unlike certain posters on another speech radio thread I won't listen to shows I don't like, I know how to change the channel and listen/download stuff I do like.🙂 |

Spot on F&C. I just don't get the whinging from folks who don't like a particular presenter or show. Just change channel or switch it off!!!!
Just listen to something you do like, but then again you get the old excuse I just happened to put the radio on at the time of that show yeah right. I do hope when the new talkradio does launch, which ever thread that is following the station is not too negative. |

What makes it even worse is the constant updates, the critique of the presenter or the show, or even obsessing over a presenters life outside radio.

And I agree totally with your sentiments I too don't listen if I don't like the presenter |

The person who I think you are most talking if is on an enforced vacation he also had a thread named after him that has also been shut down

Sadly it's more than one poster and more than one presenter, kinda ironic when you see some of the posts complaining about repetition and presenters refusing to be trolled through certain channels of communication.

Me too. I'm very positive at the moment. Even if I only like 2 or 3 presenters out of say a 14 presenter line up, then it's a good deal more listening than I get at the moment. Happy to say I already have 2 who I really like, and the other 3 I'm very happy to give a try.
Simple really if you like a show/presenter enjoy, if you don't then don't bother. |

I would love to see James H Reeve back. Anarchic and unpredictable but great fun.

That would be excellent. He doesn't seem to have done much for years. I've been listening to his old shows on You Tube.

Agreed, although I do agree with someone above who said about bringing in some new talent. All the possibles I can think of are 'experienced' but would be good to see someone new too. James H would be brilliant though.

If your looking for new talent, Sam Hutt and Lucy Anna Gray are / were pretty good on FUBAR. I've not listened in a while but they accompanied a few car journeys!

one thing that might mean that less experienced presenters get a go on Talk Radio is that will established names who already have say, a safelocal gig risk it for a station that may not be a success? Paul Ross is an obvious exception as e's jumped ship from the BBC but he had just lost a breakfast show so might have felt a change was needed. I'd bet a lot that if Iain Lee hadn't been sacked by the BBC, he'd have stayed where he is. for this reason, I'd be very surprised if James Whale joined the station.

However, we don't yet know what kind of show he will be doing. Most of us probably hope he will be doing something light-hearted, and his Tweets have pointed in that direction, but we probably won't know until the show starts. Personally, I'm not expecting the craziness of the LBC/Virgin/Absolute shows but something like his 3CR Rabbit Hole or later WM shows would be fine with me. |

Given how enthusiastic Iain Lee is about his new show, if you were really cynical you might think that he engineered his own demise so that he could become available for talkRADIO. If he was given the choice of two jobs, one at 3CR and one at talkRADIO, he would presumably have found the latter more interesting, especially if he would be getting the late night slot like he has done. But if you play by the rules then breakfast at 3CR is probably a safer long term bet, even if it isn't quite as interesting as a job at talkRADIO might be.

Though God knows where Galloway fits into that |

As mentioned in their blurb they have posted Talk radio is going for a presenter led magazine style approach so by that token it might be a mix of his old style and Beeb

Given some of the things Iain Lee has said about his exit from 3CR, I actually think he was pretty cut up about it and how he was treated. I guess its in his interests to be inthusiastic about his new show... Hopefully they'll find someone for Iain to work with, as I feel he produces his best radio with someone like Cath or Agent Chris to bounce off.

However, I can't help but think it was meant to be in view of this new opportunity. The great thing about Iain being on talkRADIO is that he's got the perfect slot. I know for a fact it's the perfect time slot for him and with a national audience I've no doubt we're in for some great, innovative, engaging radio. |
