New R2 Morning Schedule

[Hazel at the Hill]

My mum is in a right sulk.

She likes to listen to Pause for Thought and the review of the papers on the Sarah Kennedy show on Radio 2, but since the Chris Evans breakfast prog starts at 7.00 not 7.30am, this has changed the times of when these are aired on the Sarah Kennedy show.

It doesn't say on the R2 website what time Pause for Thought & the paper review are now on at, and the only way I'm going to find it is to plough through a whole 2hr show on 'listen again' - unless any smart grapes can tell me?

Oh no, does that mean I don't get to listen to Sarah on the way to work anymore? I like her, think I may have to have a CD on instead now. If Evans is as noisy in the morning as he was on afternoon show I won't be happy (I still miss Johnnie Walker's drivetime)
Not a morning person, like to listen to someone fairly restful!

Hi Hazel, I found this if its any good to you, it looks like Sarahs on at 05.00 in the mornings now, I can't be doing with Chris Evens, I'd rather listen Chris Tarent and I really don't like him.

BBC - BBC Radio 2 Programmes - Sarah Kennedy

I'd much rather listen to nails down a black board than Sarah Kennedy, but there you go. Horses for courses

[Florence Fennel]

Think I'm with you on that one TS!

Me three.

I met Chris Evans backstage at Reading Festival the day they went to Driffield at radio 1; we had photos taken - he was lovely.

Me four. I can't stand Sarah Kennedy and I love Chris Evans. Sir Terry was good though and he is missed at Chez Scarey.

Hazel, Hazel, quick, pause for thought is on Chris Evans show NOW!

You're right - the listings show SK for a 2 hour slot from 5 - 7am 'Show for the 'Dawn Patrollers' with news, views and music, plus a look at the morning papers and Pause for Thought' - what the listings don't tell you is when within that period the paper review & thought for the day are, and in order to find out, I'm going to have to plough through 'listen again' I think.

The paper review is on for about quarter of an hour, so shouldn't be too tricky to find, I guess - not sure about the pause for thought.

I wouldn't know (yet) - 5 to 7 am is not a time slot which exists in my house.

Hazel, Hazel, quick, pause for thought is on Chris Evans show NOW!

Ah - here's the rub - I knew that there was a 'thought for the day' on the Terry Wogan show at about 9.15am (that time does exist chez moi), but apparently there is another one on in SK show - must be a different one as I know the 9.15am is live at the time.

The only thing I know about the SK thought for the day is from what mum has said, for the reasons stated.

That's what I like to hear - a girl after my own heart.

Happy New Year Hazel.

Can I hazzard a guess that the items your mum wants may have been shifted to a half hour earlier - that's what has happened with the show tune

Missing TW in this house but CE isn't as bad as Chris Moyles (IMHO) who may indeed be a lovely bloke in the flesh but does my head right in on the radio

Well... we've converted to the R2 breakfast show with Chris Evans!!! Listened in the car with the kids on the way to school/work and we love it - show is lively, funny and entertaining. It might not be everyone's taste in the morning, but there you go - 3 new R2 listeners (4 if you count OH in his car).
