sorry I find the banter a complete turn off (so I do) why the BBC wastes money on paying these traffic reporters is beyond my comprehension, are the presenters unable to read a report with a bit of music behind them.
they always used to

Agree completely with you..... I remember her from the "drive" show on 5 live about 10-12 years ago with her stupid pronunciation of " Lynn Bowles 5 live travel",,, Always felt she was a desperate wannabee then trying to BIG UP her part from a travel reporter to a co presenter and on the occasions ive listened to her on Radio two NOTHING HAS CHANGED............

on a slightly separate issue I have NO IDEA while local traffic news is on a national radio station..... Driving in Lancashire The Hanger lane gyratory could be in Botswana for all I care. Lets get rId of it and Bowles at the same time............. RESULT......

Personally I think with Ken and quite like her in the role,although any time its affected me its been way too late to help. when I'm stuck in traffic Think Sally is quite funny with Johnny Walker,esp on last Sunday.

Yes indeed, with Chris she is just one of the team, with Ken she's more of a side kick and they have great rapport.

I wonder what it would have been like if Radio 2 had taken a slightly direction when Terry stepped down and gave Ken the Breakfast show instead, I believe he and Lynn would have made a great team at Breakfast and wouldn't have been such a drastic change. Simon Mayo could have been given the mid morning show with Chris staying in Drive.

Ken did the breakfast show for a year in the 80s

Completely agree with AL89. Bowls' suggestive 'banter' with Ken makes me want to puke. Travel report readers think they are so important. By the time an actual incident makes it to air the Fire Brigade are back at the station carrying on with their snooker tournament..... It's completely irrelevant to the majority of the audience.

I once went to a seminar at Traffic Link about traffic news on rado in general and Bowles was there - she said that travel news on Radio 2 pulled the country together - really ?

The only person positive about Travel News on R2 was Dain Blair at Groove Addicts who allegedly made over $500K in fees across 14 years' use of the 1998 bed.

Of course she loves being with Bruce-no one else to get in the way of her hogging the limelight with the presenter. As I said a desperate wannabee
