Greatest Hits Radio - Great Conversations
« on: March 06, 2024, 08:45:45 PM »
Not very precise yet I know, but just heard that MK will be featuring on the Jackie Brambles show on Greatest Hits Radio here in the UK ‘in the next few weeks’. Mark will be taking part in her ‘Great Conversations’ slot which usually starts just after 20.00.

Presumably this will happen around the time of the album release, but if anyone hears the precise date announced in due course then perhaps they could be kind enough to post it here?

Best wishes all,

Harry

Also on bbc2 5 april: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001xmv7

Oh no not Vernon Kay....

It's the most listened to show on UK radio with 6.9m listeners, so good publicity for the new album.

Not sure what MK's "final" Tracks of His Years means though... has he ever been on this feature before?

Ignore me, it's final because it's the Friday show.

VK is just not my taste and am one of the 1.3m who left when he took over KB, good luck to the 6.9m who enjoy listening to him...

It happens every time a radio station tries to modernise, the numbers go down as the "older" listeners leave in a huff, but they gradually get replaced with younger listeners. That's what the radio station wants to happen. It happened when Terry Wogan left Radio 2, it happened when the likes of Dave Lee Travis left Radio 1 in the 1990s, it's just something the radio stations have to do to keep whatever their chosen demographic.

Correct! As we all know for example a lot of people including myself went from Radio 1 when Chris Moyles left, but now he is rebuilding his audience on Radio X...

A LOT of presenters on both BBC TV and radio are leaving or being let go because of 'diversity and inclusion'.  In other words discrimination.
