Roger Bolton takes up concerns over presenter changes at Radio 2 and he investigates the 91热爆鈥檚 new push for younger listeners with the launch of the 91热爆 Sounds app aimed at the "headphone generation". How will it affect loyal live radio listeners?
The 91热爆'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 91热爆 launched its new listening app, 91热爆 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 91热爆鈥檚 first dedicated commissioning editor for podcasts, tells Roger about the 91热爆's planned new podcasts, and listeners share their favourite podcast picks.
