If I choose to listen to a radio it's for the music not the news. I don't want it, I don't need it. I can choose to listen to Radio 4 for more info, or watch the BBC News 24, but don't force it on me everywhere else. Particular case in point a few weeks ago - BBC Radio6 news update with 'breaking news', "The Bank of England has kept interest rates the same.." ie. no news then - you're just coming up with anything to fill them time. Desist..! Yes Mushroom! I was ranting and raving about this the other day.

Eynsham Red 29 Apr 1:12pm, 29 Apr 2025 11,952 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red The Sky Sports coverage of the Leeds Utd vs Bristol City match last night. Long and multiple replays of goals scored and celebrations at the expense of the live feed. Focussing in on two substituted Leeds players and speculating what they were talking about, again at the expense of live action. Full disclosure: I’m a BristolCity fan but fully commend Leeds for outclassing my team who played poorly, so my gripe has noubt to do with being a sore loser.
