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."

He's being replaced by Craig Charles. Hmm.

Craig Charles every day? Are there not other non-celeb presenters they can use?

I turned the radio on today at work for the first time in a while and heard him talking about how it was his last show, it was so nice to change the station knowing I might never have to hear the unbearable cunt again

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.
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 09:52 (eleven months ago) link
Attracting new people with a Marc Riley and Gideon Coe show?
― Alba, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 09:55 (eleven months ago) link
No, attracting new people by giving more time to the other presenters and less to the older ones.
― the pinefox, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 09:56 (eleven months ago) link
Usual complaints on that thread about Craig Charles which translates to "too much black music"
― Toshirō Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Tuesday, 4 April 2023 10:15 (eleven months ago) link
this is long overdue IMO, between them Riley and Coe had 5hrs every weekday evening to play a steady diet of indie rock
― Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Tuesday, 4 April 2023 10:33 (eleven months ago) link
It feels like the ultimate end for the last couple of reshuffles is to turn 6 into a sort of 1Xtra with a hint of Radio 2.My main evidence for the prosecution is Craig Charles on 6 days a week. A show that is so derivative it is rehashing its own features— Paul Dengel (@PaulDengel2) April 4, 2023
Craig Charles belongs on 1Extra not 6 music. I would love to see far less indie & rock however and a lot more electronic music.— Mikey Bee (@Lord_Melchie) April 4, 2023
― Toshirō Nofune (The Seventh ILXorai), Tuesday, 4 April 2023 10:45 (eleven months ago) link
Not a massive fan, but Riley's show accounts for the majority of sessions on 6music, expect this is a factor here.
― Camaraderie at Arms Length, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 10:46 (eleven months ago) link
Craig Charles is fine IMO but belongs on Radio 2, along with about 50% of the 6music DJs. 50% of existing Radio 2 DJs can be relocated to the bin.

Neil S: I am not personally interested in Riley and have no desire to listen to him. I would broadly agree that he has focused a lot on "indie rock". I would be happy for Riley to disappear, though many listeners would disagree.
On the other hand, the statement that Coe has played "a steady diet of indie rock" gives the impression that you have not heard his programme.
One of the bad things about the new schedule is that people who like Coe's eclectic programme will now have to hear Riley in that slot 3 nights a week. The quota of "indie rock" in those hours is likely to increase.

I think it's fair to characterise Coe's show as focussing on indie rock broadly construed, even though he might play some soul, reggae and rock 'n roll. John Peel it is not, or maybe John Peel with the inconvenient rough edges sanded off (happy hardcore, grindcore, techno etc. etc.)

Ravenscroft classic nepo baby, I didn’t make the connection with the name at first & wondered why this completely unengaging posh bloke had a career in broadcasting (I prob assumed he had been in some shitty indie band as is usually the case) and it wasn’t till quite a bit later I heard a trailer where he was like “come explore my family mansion as I play records from my dad John peel’s collection” & I was like ohhhh lmao

His voice (Tom R) is bad for radio and I don't find anything good about him.
I don't think it is good that he is being promoted more and more as key voice of 6music.

Gilles Peterson on a Saturday afternoon still manages to be fresh and enthusiastic. The other week when they were all broadcasting from Salford and had obv. been told to give the shows a local slant, he announced one track as "by one of THE ALL TIME GREAT Manchester bands....KALIMA!" and it made me laugh bcs which other DJ on the staion would even put Kalima in their top 20 Mcr acts?
He did a great tribute to Simon Booth last week which had Sade calling in.
