Smug Radio

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

I've said before I'd quite like a decent commercial news radio alternative to Five Live. I don't think this is it.

Jesus, that looks terrible. Coren alone is enough to lose my custom but there's a deep bench of dislikeability there. Their stooging for Murdoch doesn't increase my affection for the less overtly horrible presenters either.

This is weird. And creepy.

Didnt read. I’d rather hack my own ears off with a rusty bayonet than listen to those bastards. If it’s an over the airwaves only station I think it’ll be gone within a year.

Tom Newton Dunn and Stig Abell are less overtly horrible?

[Benjm]

No, I would include them on the deep bench of dislikeability. Coren just caught my eye in the presenter photo in the OP. Frostrup and Hazarika were the faces that I recognised and was thinking of as less overtly horrible, but I'm not a great fan of either of them.

Newton Dunn's open invitation to pop up and be treated as a respected member of society on BBC politics programmes is one of the many reasons why I don't watch them.

I saw the tweet from the first post earlier today and my first thought was "Flipping Heck, The Radio Times has got political all of a sudden" then I re-read it.

Anyway, what time is Giles Coren on? I've always loved the cot of his jab.

".....More red hot chat later! To take us up to the news is another "banger" from the "I work for a Hedge Firm but I'm also a DEEEE JAY" EP by the Housekeeping guys, which as you'll remember is our record of the week,. This track's called "Remember Rich People are cooler than you". Enjoy!

Classic Banter.

[Benjm]

I had never heard of Housekeeping before reading that article in The Quietus last week. Posh twats in dance music isn't exactly a new thing but they do kick it up to another level.

I'm old enough to remember the time when DJs / Electronic Music Makers weren't mild-mannered property developers by day. I know what I'm talking about, I once saw Goldie's brother in Wolverhampton.

Witherow took the tweet down.

Giles Coren has upped the stakes by deleting his entire account tonight.

Witherow took the tweet down.

I'd like to think it was my tweet that did it...https://twitter.com/sueanneclarke/st...680856576?s=20
