listening to the bit after i gave up and there's a huge slab of Spiritualized's glides and chimes before the 9:30 news as well, which I'm guessing Jason would've never thought would happen. now it's some maudlin version of Vapour Trail.

My local Co-Op has it's own radio station that usually plays 'Gimme Hope Joanna' and 'A Good Heart' on rotation was playing classical music today.

"Now That's What I Call Sombre Music" was a quote from somewhere in the 80s but i can't remember where. Spitting Image on the death of some russian leader perhaps?

I never heard her 1Xtra show, but Jamz Supernova's recently launched Saturday afternoon 6Music show has become my favourite thing on the radio right now. It's guiding me through areas of music that were dauntingly unfamiliar to me before. A great addition to the Saturday line-up (as is The Blessed Madonna later on), and it makes perfect sense to schedule it just before Gilles Peterson.

I found jamz supernova a bit much for a saturday afternoon but I should probably be listening to magic or something instead.

I worked with Jamz when she was an aspiring assistant radio producer on other people’s shows and she was unfailingly friendly and polite - not qualities in surplus at most radio stations - she stood out

Yeah, that fits with her presenting style: natural, unforced, and communicating a clear love of the music she's chosen. A couple of weeks ago, she finished with a 30 minute Portuguese mix that maybe banged too hard for the time of day, but she dialled it back this week: there were a couple of times where she said "I'm just taking the tempo a little bit up", which helped you to acclimatise.

Sh*un Ke*vney doing his last show today, let slip in the goodbye speech that he had been "let go" rather than quit.
Some people I follow on Twitter are furious and I am biting my virtual lip because his breakfast show was basically the reason I didn't listen to the station until a couple of years ago when they finally moved him to the afternoon, anyway this thread is a safe place to say "good."

that indie programme is a subset of indie i don't really care for, based on the track listings for the two shows currently aired. i guess i am not the target audience (by about 20 years). i think i own about 3 from each, the early 80s bits.
i should start listening to the good 'introducing' bits again (but skip lamacq's one), might help with my 'i don't know what's new and good' problem.

Got stuck on the motorway over christmas with only 6Music to listen to - a Steve Lamacq playlist thing very like the one above. Just all horrible shouty "indie" bollocks with choruses that go OI! OI! OI!. Who thought "Nellie the Elephant" by the Toy Dolls would prove so influential?

more tv than radio, but i thought after Philip the decision was to not go so full-on with the cancellations but i guess this is also a much larger thing (and things are actively happening today). who'd've thought you could say so much about someone who's basically had the same job for 70 years?

Schedule Change News 🗞From Monday the 5th of June we’ll be launching two brand new shows on 6 Music.— BBC Radio 6 Music (@BBC6Music) April 4, 2023
Bad developments in the 6music schedule.
The station is going to drive a lot of people away. Maybe it will also attract new people.
