BBC Coventry & Warwickshire Local Radio

I used occasionally to tune in to Cov and Warwickshire Radio until I heard Annie Othen .... could never stand her when she was on Mercia Sound. I don't know if she is still on and I don't really care. As for Bob Brolly, can't stand him either, although I know he does a lot of good work as I believe his brother is handicapped. My Irish neighbours love him and used to go on what I thought of as the Holiday from Hell, when they booked a whole floor of a hotel somewhere abroad together with Brolly and all his pals! Yuk !! Actually I do enjoy Network Gold on the 94.8 frequency on a Saturday night as, although mostly a Classic FM listener, I enjoy music from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s too.

Bob Brolly's band was called Calvary and his dad ran the Bowling Green.

Agree with you on this Mr D. Great station, Gold.

Ha! Ha! Wonder who was runner up.

"Give us a chance" plea from new presenters

Hi all , As I was listening to the clues being given for this mornings "treasure hunt", I recognised one of our forum members voices, for the Bill & Bob location. That was exciting.

The old C&W radio car (1996 Peugeot 406).

I actually think that during this lockdown CWR has come into its own. It doesn't have the obvious bias of the mainstream BBC output and is serving its purpose as a community station, helping local people with local issues. There is also the bonus that none of the presenters are Jeremy Vine.

Correct. His droning, funerial voice does not inspire. On the Eggheads, he wastes lots of time by interjecting, completely unnecessarily, all the time. His forte is stating the bleaking obvious, for example, before reading out every question, and bearing in mind that each round has a mere 3 questions: "get this wrong and you've lost the round!". As if nobody understands that 3 is bigger than 2 or 1 - infant school stuff. And I cringe when it goes to sudden death: "I don't give you alternatives [sic]". Sometimes he gets it right and uses the word options.
