A few surprises there.

I think Shelagh Fogarty is very good indeed but perhaps a victim of a need to always renew and freshenj things up. Richard Bacon is a very good broadcaster too - did well replacing Mayo in that slot.

Interesting that they've now gone for two 'double acts' in the main daytime slots - that's a pretty blatant mimicking of Talksport if you ask me. Chiles and Allen is an odd one - really thought the latter would be retiring by now.

Tony Livesey is really good though and just right for the drive home. Peter Allen can be grumpy and on inter evenings it can grate.
