I remember driving to work about 12 years ago and the breakfast presenters were discussing the impending merger with poxford - it wasn't until 10 or 15 minutes that I remembered it was 1st April.

As mentioned earlier the BBC announced a year ago or so that "local" radio would basically be decimated due to monetary cuts required. If I remember rightly the sports commentary side would still be OK but it has all gone quiet now so not too sure if that is still the case. At the time the BBC asked for listeners views so I said it might be better to stop paying obscene amounts of money to so called "personalities" and the myriad amount of "Managers" on the TV side, and leave the radio alone.
Do not hold out too much hope though.

I've never had a problem with bbc wilts on my DAB, I can pick it up crystal clear when I worked in Bath and its crystal clear in Swindon to. Not sure what the reception is like on analogue though.
My DAB in the car loses it just past Membury. Not sure about the other way as I no longer do that part of the world in my sales job.

Nothing the BBC does these days surprises me. Yes they government backed them into a corner by freezing license fees. But decisions like this are baffling.

I'm surprised anyone listens to BBC Swindon outside of matchday coverage, it's dull as anything!

We're all closet BBC liteners and watchers to a degree. I liked waking up to his show in the morning and I'd listen to dive time in the evening as I'm out of town for most of my working day it kinda kept me in touch with my home town and the bloke was good to listen to. now that screaming woman on in the afternoon would drive me to suicide or poke my eardrums out if I had no choice but to listen to her, god forbid.

Your news was of who was hosting the brekkie show. This implies there will be no re-shuffle to another timeslot?
