I mean when I've caught snippets in recent times it's not really appeared to me to have any sort of connection "with a new generation of audiences" and instead has come across like a vague mix of guessing what the masses want. I presume that most of their audience is still the demographic they're looking for but I don't really think that it comes across as being solely intended for this. Surely Parfitt should be saying that they must change to attract as large an audience as possible. Also, "up and coming"? Would we really describe Cotton as "up and coming"? She seems to have been around forever. I mean didn't she do the Apollo 11 landings? I seem to recall Moore saying something about "and now over to Fearne at the large screen in Manchester" "Thanks Pat *hehe* Well we're all having a great time here. *audience cheers* Only 5 minutes left on the giant countdown clock. That's just enough time to chat to Lily Allen about her crazy moon landing outfit. Lily, you're more of a Buzz fan than an Armstrong fan..."<br /><br />I long ago gave up on expecting music and acknowledge that it's an all-round entertainment channel and I guess that doesn't really bother me as I get my music elsewhere but it probably would be nice if the Beeb would just come out and admit it. Perhaps some large revamp to the station where they rebrand the whole thing rather than gradually every so often telling the older presenter that they've moved the toilets only for lunchtime to come and that person to go through the door marked WC and find that they're standing next to Terry Wogan and Ken Bruce.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-42447371161684510092009-07-16T13:00:09.187+00:002009-07-16T13:00:09.187+00:00I hate Bowman.
