Default BBC Radio 5 Overnight is Terrible

The Presenter does music songs
every freaking night.


BBC Radio 5 Overnight
used to have great debates


Get rid of that presenter
Sack Him.


Good we have LBC
and Times Radio now

How do you think I feel listening to Paul Ross PRETENDING to like sports and waffling on for 4 hours every night !!

He’s always trying to to crowbar showbiz news or music into his shows . He was on the sister non-sport channel for years until they moved him to us

That's the great Dotun Adebayo you're talking about!

The man is a legend of late night radio

talking about music tracks.

Radio 5
overnight closed down for a while.

They can do far better



[Overnight shows at BBC Radio 5 Live have
been temporarily suspended due to a
shortage of staff at the station's MediaCity HQ.

BBC World Service will be rebroadcast instead until
at least April 4th 2022.]

That's only one night a week I think doing the virtual jukebox

It's a nice change, they have real debates on pretty much all the rest of the day. Maybe switch to the World Service

It's a poor standard.


Radio 5 is on AM Radio
as well.

They deserve better.


Times Radio and LBC
are better

havent listened to 5 live for years

I did have to this season for one west ham game that I could not get elsewhere

they kept interrupting the commentary to give me updates from 2 womens matches

seriously do they think that anyone who turned on the radio to listen to that West Ham gave cares about (at that time) a women football match during the commentary, absolute woke pish

never again

I have a dab radio plugged into a Bluetooth speaker using RCA cable. I only listen to classic FM. The schedule is great and find it relaxing.

Yes I also listen to ClassicFM through the night occasionally - although I use a pillow-speaker
