Shake me up Judy Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Switched on for the news at 7:00 (Don't know why I bother) and caught a few seconds of Chris Kinley and Chris Williams. No doubt someone up there thinks it's radio simpatico to have the two of them on together. Kinley always sounds like he's reporting live from Ballaugh Bridge during a particularly hectic Senior T.T. Does he know the races are cancelled this year ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is really why are there any presenters at 5AM - BBC Radio 3 doesn't go live at that hour so why does MR? How long have been off island. Comparing Radio 3 to Manx Radio.

Radio 3 is a blessed relief from the bollox of Brexit, that silly virus and the dumbing-down of daytime Radio 2 (Ken Bruce excepted). Try it - and as for a comparison with MR - I'd say it's valid. No need for any live presenters at MR until 7AM. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth do they have 2 presenters on at 5am? And increasingly throughout the whole day. I presume the idea is that if one of them says anything remotely critical of the government or our Dear Leader, the other is supposed to shoot them. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 It would be a joy to hear the news without all the stuttering and stumbling we get from Rhianna she is worse than Howard Caine . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Onchan Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I only hear MR when the missus tunes in, in the morning. Ms Wotton is much missed by yours truly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the interaction between the presenters is excellent. I don’t get up early enough now for the earlier shows , but the afternoon ones are great to listen to. They all click and in my opinion makes for good radio. The comps. are good. Edited April 1, 2020 by dilligaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't usually, CW is self isolating at home so baldy Chris is needed in the studio to swap the 78's on the decks. Though why baldy can't just do his show for him in the meantime is anybody's guess? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
