What other national broadcaster would tell you about a coffee morning in the church hall just around the corner? Most BBC local radio stations, I imagine. The last time I tuned into BBC Radio Cumbria heading up to the borders every coffee morning that was taking place in the county was mentioned. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKRP Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Interestingly up at the Grandstand the TT bar is blasting out 3FM. As is the food concessions. Thought they would want to have the TT station on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But BBC Radio Cumbria proporting to be a "national" station? Not. I like MR and why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Well, what a pleasant surprise, this morning switched on for the news got ready to turn over and there is a new format for Sunday morning, great improvement, decent music, little competition a lot more interesting than usual, Terry Cringle who was really interesting regarding the Tower of Refuge and it's beginnings and then a recording of the late Bernard Caine and his memories of Peel. Then Phil Gawne came on so I will may be switching over shortly but will give him a chance....much better tha David Callister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Gawne = switch over to the BBC Radio4 (even if it is The Archers). And MR are (temporarily I hope) dragging Andy 'knows best' Wint back for the Mannin Line. I can only take so much patronising and AW uses that up in the first 2 minutes of his shows Edited August 26, 2018 by gettafa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Radio TT/MGP - great to hear Charlie Williams back on the chat show airwaves, with Phil McAllen. True professionalism and experience shines through, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettafa Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Actually nothing. I have been tuning in for over 40 years, most days and often the Sunday omnibus, (especially when Radio Gawne is on) and I haven't a clue what is going on. It is nice background stuff. Someone fell off a roof and some woman went to jail. Which if I remember rightly is the same plot as Crossroads, which I similarly enjoyed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKRP Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Rather an incestuous Mandate today. I think the BBC man interviewed his mother, but not made clear. Then the chairman of Manx Radio on talking about the homeless. Surely it should be pointed out there is a connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The lady presenter has an obsession with timekeeping she told us it was 19 minutes past 11 then two minutes later told us it was 21 minutes past 11. She would probably be great on New Year's Eve doing the countdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Is it the same one that was on Women Today? One day last week the discussion was "should it be called dessert or pudding". Edited August 28, 2018 by gettafa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Stu should be allocated more time based on his current performances. It’s the only think worth listening to on MR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
