Re: Radio 1 schedule changes from April

The age profile issue isn't with breakfast, it's with Greg's current slot. He's become insanely popular with older listeners who are fed up with Vine and Wright. Why should I, a 50 plus listener be tuning in to it and looking forward to it, as ATL listening rather than in passing? One of the aims ha...
