In a nutshell


Canny station, terrible name, they reckon they can't change it now because it's so well known, :rolleyes: but it never stopped marathon becoming snickers , or opal fruits becoming star burst. Get it changed.

What annoys me is, as they continue not to change the name the presenters very rarely if ever inform guests they are not just broadcasting to the city of Newcastle when they are interviewing guests on the station.

Due to the station name interviewees must think they are only addressing the city of Newcastle and the content/context of the programme is the poorer for it as it becomes centred on such a small area.

Very little attempt is ever made to inform guests they are in fact broadcasting to a much wider audience and to broaden the conversation to reflect this.
 
North Ferriby getting beat 5-1

Gilly Hope always gives Sunderland a good mention to be fair on the traffic

I like Gilly, but I suppose any traffic presenter would have to mention Sunderland if there are any hold ups in the area. I know Gilly mentions knitting and her Nanna a lot.

My main gripe is with the name of the station and the presenters throughout the day not informing guests that they aren't only broadcasting to the City of Newcastle, we can forgive those being interviewed as that is the station name it's the presenters who need to inform the guests to widen any discussion or debate. Or simply change the name please BBC.

Agreed but if she goes out in the city she tells other presenters..ie to the empire ect..she balances things a bit and lets others know whats going on.

He is, he was in an episode of Sunderland Til I Die. He was swearing like a trooper during his stand up performance.
