Roger Bolton takes up concerns over presenter changes at Radio 2 and he investigates the ±«Óãtv’s new push for younger listeners with the launch of the ±«Óãtv Sounds app aimed at the "headphone generation". How will it affect loyal live radio listeners?
The ±«Óãtv's Director of Radio and Music, Bob Shennan, answers the questions. He shares his regrets about Simon Mayo leaving Radio 2 and is frank about the effect of listener reaction to the stations new drivetime programme on co-presenter Jo Whiley.
This week, the ±«Óãtv launched its new listening app, ±«Óãtv Sounds. It is directly targeting younger listeners, many of whom enjoy listening to audio on their phones but do not listen to the radio. Jason Phipps, the ±«Óãtv’s first dedicated commissioning editor for podcasts, tells Roger about the ±«Óãtv's planned new podcasts, and listeners share their favourite podcast picks.
