Has this been announced yet or is it just whispers & rumours?

Like:

Radmac, Huey, Craig, Amy, Now playing with Tom, Guy.

wouldn’t be sad to see Liz go. Giles and Cerys are manageable

I also wonder how Lamacq manages to stay. When he was shielding and Craig Charles took over that slot became brilliant and it really showed how poor Lamacq’s show is.

But I can listen to his shows, where as Liz Kershaw and Amy LaMay are two big switch offs for me. I just cannot stand to listen to them. I’m now worried that Liz Kershaw will be on when I am having to drive to drop my son off at his Mum’s on a Sunday evening. No chance of getting nts in the car.

I’m praying the freak zone remains as I think that’s my favourite 6 music show.

Was Giles still in Throtch in 98? ;)

I can’t watch any of the Brian Pern stuff on BBC4 without immediately thinking of Giles Perterson…

You’re right that six music should be diverse, and it’d be rubbish if we all liked the same stuff. I just wish he wasn’t on slap bang in the middle of Saturday afternoon. Let’s be honest, most of the stuff he plays has got ‘midnight on a Wednesday’ written all over it 😃

Liz Kershaw moving to an ‘interview’ show

Talking to people is her weakest attribute it’s bloody painful.

I assume the news is a statutory obligation placed on any broadcaster so they wouldn’t be able to get rid of it even if they wanted.

Thankfully Radio Caroline has no news and only 2 ads every half hour.
If you don’t like one show you’ll probably like the next. The man before 9am is a colossal prick.
However ,we had the most amazing top 15 yesterday. I was well and truly educated with bands I’d never heard of.

Erm she seems like the one unanimous opinion on this thread!

One if my little pleasures is on the occasional Friday evening when the perennial supply DJ, Tom Ravenscroft, is standing in for Lammo and still does his 10pm slot he refers to the Iggy Pop show as “Iggy in the middle”.

Talking to people is her weakest attribute it’s bloody painful

A million times this. It’s bad enough when she’s opening and closing that flapping hole beneath her mouth by herself but when she’s talking over, interrupting, or just demonstrating how *** thick she is ‘in conversation’ with somone else I’d rather slam my balls in the car door than listen to her.

‘hi ya’. **** off.

Erm she seems like the one unanimous opinion on this thread!

That was the joke :-)

its quite difficult to find a subject that stw is incapable of arguing about!

“when did you first realise you wanted to play in a band”

“Oooooooh swinging sixties, carnaby street, mods that sounds exciting…………..was it exciting?”

“Did you ever visit Roger daltrys trout farm?” “Oh you did” “so what was that like then?”

“I was such a big fan of the who, I loved that song you did, tin soldiers, you looked really dapper in that union jack suit”

Liz Kershaw to Nile Rogers:

– “So… what were it like in that Studio 48 club then?”

– “It was Studio 54, man! How can you get that wrong?”

– <defensively> “Well, I weren’t there, were I?”

aaarghghghghgh the most toe-curling interview I have heard in years

You never know she might suddenly become like paxman and interrogate Pete Townsend on his internet activities.

“So Pete I was warned not to ask you this but I think it’s important, a couple of years ago there was a big controversy involving you and some internet sites..”

<Townsend begins to walk out>

“So what I wanted to ask was did you manage to sort the band website out so you could buy concert tickets directly from it?”

@fingerbang – it’s not about bullying a woman. Kershaw (and her brother in the past) are just not very good at their job. The complaints are about the individual’s inability to do the job they’re paid for.

Lauren Laverne is good, Nemone too. Mary-Anne Hobbs is another that divides opinion but she’s still good at her job. People just don’t like her wishy-washy vocab talking about the dichotomous sonic highways juxtapositions etc. etc. She retains the ability to play records rather well.

Jamz Supernova is in for MAH now and is taking over the 1-3 slot on Saturdays I think. Today’s the first time I’ve heard her and I can’t **** stand her already. She mentioned some band or other that were ‘from the North of England’ like it was some kind of recently-discovered species then proceeded to bang on about London for five minutes. Jesus **** wept, no ta.

LaLa, MAH and Nemone are all ace and can pretty much do no wrong in my eyes, MAH talks bobbins but plays awesome music. And this-

😎

edit- and some DJs are just shit. Edith Bowman is a good example of someone who will drive me to turn off/over if she’s on anything at all, ever, in the world.

I like Gilles :) I like Huey too, although I’m done with the Funk and Soul show, I liked CC much better as the replacement for Steve Lurpack during lockdown.

Saturday without Liz is a great thing, there’s other stuff on Sunday I don’t like (Cerys, opinion dressed up as fact and lots of factually wrong too… ) so it’s easy to avoid now.

Shaun Keavney is good but yes a bit less waffle would make for a better show

id be raging if I was Ravenscroft or huw stephens and mrs supernova’s just got a regular weekend slot. That’s assuming a regular slot is a step up from being a supply DJ – perhaps they like it – who knows

Ravenscroft has had a regular weekend slot for 11 years now, so I’d imagine he’s not too worried

she’s transferred over from 1 extra so looks like they’re offsetting the average age, middle aged man quota with some affirmative action

also, this is well overdue.

From lunchtime to midnight every weekday, it’s middle aged men, and til now it’s been middle aged men from 5am til midnight on a saturday, apart from Liz Kershaw.

I don’t have anything against middle aged men per se, not least because I am one, but 6 music could really really use some more variety, this is a good first step.

The stage name The Black Madonna references the Black Madonna paintings of the Virgin Mary, a tribute to her family’s favorite Catholic saint.[11] In response to a Change.org petition that raised concerns of racial insensitivity, Stamper changed her stage name to The Blessed Madonna on July 20, 2020.

In case anyone else is confused. Taking over from Tom Robinson on Saturday nights.

Liz Kershaw – 1 hour shows, 4 episode series. Not clear how many per year but as everyone else is in agreement on here – Matt Everett does a great job at a brief that sounds the same as this, and interviews are not exactly Liz’s strongest suit. I’m told on Saturday she’s hoping to get McCartney – that really would be a waste (but his interview with Adam Buxton is a brilliant listen if you’re a fan, Podcats)
Sunday afternoons on 6 Music is Liz Kershaw’s Legends In Their Own Lunchtime, a new strand, presented by Liz Kershaw, with four episodes per series. The first series begins on Sunday 4 April (1pm-2pm).

I know IR35 rules meant DJs are now staff but I still thought they were on some sort of talent contract that meant they could be exited. I can only think winding liz down slowly avoids some vast redundancy payment given she’s been around so long?
