Vernon and the no users
Why have Radio 1 done away with great acts like Mark and Lard, and brought in rubbish like Vernon Kay, and J K and Joel. These people just do not have any personality whatsoever. Although i have to admit to quite liking Colin and Edith now.
Are the BBC trying to serve us bland through every medium???

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I stopped listening regularly after Mark and Lard left but my main gripe is that the station tries to cover all kinds of music but ends up with a horribly diluted mix. Anyone who actually cares what they listen to doesn't want to listen to a cool rock/rap track sandwidged between Girls Aloud and this summer's Europop anthem.
Their Newsbeat also makes me cringe - dumbed down condescending version of grown up news but exactly the same agenda. So I agree the BBC are serving bland through every medium including music and presenters.
Actually, I don't listen to much radio at all now - which means I run the risk of missing out on good new music. I do listen to Radio 2 from time to time, and occasionally a bit of 6Music (yes, I'm the other listener).
I have been known to watch Zane Lowe's programmes on MTV2, but don't listen to him on the radio. I like (most of) his kind of music but find him far too smart-a*se for his own good - kind of like Jonathan Ross in Kiwi form.
