honk   10 #193 Posted November 1, 2011 Hardly listen now, only to Toby Foster, though he seems to be on/off now as often as that Antonia Brickell bint was. Not sure what contract he's got with Radio Sheff but it always seems to be "random" when the guys on - I turn on the radio and maybe he's on, else that dreadful Paul Walker's doing his show. There's also some other bird who hangs around the microphone generally acting like a gobby slapper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
steelhead4 Â Â 10 #194 Posted November 1, 2011 Outside of the odd sports broadcast I dont listen to Radio Sheffield as it just doesnt cater for me , but as a white middle aged male in full time employment I would have thought I was in their target audience , I'm not even sure what their audience is anymore , 50-60 yr old ladies who lunch ? , WRVS ? , Chatsworth show goers ?. Sheffield is a working class city built round the steel industry , local radio should reflect that but it appears most of the BBC local radio stations fall into this trap , they are becoming irrelevant to the local population and as they stand at the moment not many would mourn their passing. Merging with regional or national programming would be the final straw , listening numbers would collapse and the stations will close down.

Â i switch between radio sheffield and 5 live depending on topic. may change stations if theres some music on i don't like. with regard to music,what i do find annoying is when they play something i like and make no announcement to singer/song title.it doesnt happen a lot but its not very professional . i like toby foster now,took a while for him to grow on me though--but he's good at his job--will have learned a lot from roney robinson he's a real pro. (though he's the who forgets to name music mostly)-but can be excused is getting on a bit now. paul walker is good in lesser doses--is getting better.but can come accross as a bit condescending to callers. the gobby slapper i think your referring to is jenny who has a lot to put up from toby and paul with their teasing --and sexist remarks. seth is also very good.

bladesman123 Â Â 10 #196 Posted November 1, 2011 I listen to Football Heaven and Praise Or Grumble and sometimes a bit of Dean Pepall, everything else is crap, especially Paulette Edwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

manofstrad   10 #198 Posted November 1, 2011 I've heard they might play some music sometime in the future.  If you want to listen to music tune in instead to RedroadFM, otherwise BBC RS has it all.  If you want to know what is going on in Barnsley or Wath listen to Toby Foster.  If you want a right laugh listen to the empty heads that ring in between 6-7.00pm.  If you want a bit of a giggle listen to Paulette (she also has a wonderfuly sexy husky voice).  If you want a bit of class and some real intellectual chatter, listen to Rony (he lives in Totley).  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
