So does anyone know what happened to the Newbury Breeze Breakfast Show host Tony James? A while back he went on holiday, but then never returned, and no mention was made about his departure. In a manner not dis-similar to when a new actor plays an existing character in a soap, everyone just carried on like nothing had happened. Admittedly his style did have a bit of whiff of Smashy and Nicey about it with the phone-ins to remind him of the blindingly obvious thing he'd "forgotten" etc. Some might even say that co-host Steph was carrying him. Even so surely some sort of farewell was in order. I wouldn't normally ask, but his predecessor was also "disappeared" ....

Probably because his show was absolute drivel!! tongue.gif
Unfortunately I have to resort to listening to Breeze before 09:30 as I need to avoid Chris Evans on Radio 2 who is even worse! dry.gif

Looks like West Berkshire now gets the same breakfast show as Basingstoke and Andover.

So that's increased it to 3 listeners then - I find listening to paint dry more entertaining wink.gif

A lot of morning radio presenters seems to specialize in muppetry.

Worst of all is the lamentably awful idiots on Heart which my wife listens to.
