I’ve always thought it, but now I can tell they’re openly acknowledging it.
Otherwise why would they monumentally cock up their day time radio like they have.
2fm have decided to change some of their daytime shows to music only.
Meaning Nikki Hayes and Rick O’Shea won’t be doing anything except ‘this is Journey’ (good God) and ‘coming up we have Beyonce’.
Oh Good God, why even bother!?
No texts, no interaction, no listener problem solving, no fun internet stuff, no movie reviews and interviews, no finding and talking to the guy with the horse travelling across the country, no stories that the listeners write, no more on air drinking vinegar with Miriam O’Callaghan, no more word games, no more (in my opinion) intelligent, fun stuff.
I didn’t listen for the music, I listened for the bits in between the music.
And I can find that music anywhere else.
No more interesting, thought provoking, fun talk.
I can only conclude that 2fm IS trying to alienate it’s apparent target audience as far as I can tell.
Deep Breath (and I know i’m late getting involved in this.)
You can see there’s a few more people not happy about it either.

I’d like to second that, one Beyonce song too many is going to have people switching off in their droves.
They think we’re all thick.
[...] Star picked up the campaign yesterday, but the blogocube is going mental: http://raptureponies.wordpress.com/2009/01/15/2fm-thinks-im-thick/ http://www.headrambles.com/2009/01/15/if-it-aint-broke-then-break-it/ http://maxicane.com/?p=300 [...]
I think 2FM are going to reverse the decision as they can’t ignore all this feedback. I can feel it.
