Have just discovered that CM has gone (we thought she was on holiday)and both my wife and I are dismayed. <br />We have been listening to Radio Kent since the "Ginger Whinger" took over on Radio 2 and we were amazed to find a broadcaster as good as CM, hidden away on local radio. John Warnett is a decent enough anchorman but it was CM who brought the breakfast show to life with a mixture of sparkling humour and a sassy down-to-earth perspective on day-to-day issues which, lets face it, are not always riveting in local radio. <br />Its a huge shame that there is no room on air for a working mum with a great radio voice and something to say for herself. I have often thought that she would be "promoted" to national radio sooner or later, but to find that she has been considered expendable at local level is a nasty shock. <br />Time to find a new start to our day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517805094679281502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79866177479583080.post-16479574857982406522013-04-18T21:57:27.225+01:002013-04-18T21:57:27.225+01:00Agreed that Clare voices her own opinions far too ...Agreed that Clare voices her own opinions far too much, and also makes frequent references to alcohol, both negative qualities in a journalist. John Warnett is much better on his own. However, I would have ditched Julia George and moved Clare to the 09:00 phone in show where there is so much drivel spouted by the public that Clare's opinions would not be so noticeableAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79866177479583080.post-59770614946042776882013-03-29T09:41:50.663+00:002013-03-29T09:41:50.663+00:00She's is left-wing and has made this known on ...She's is left-wing and has made this known on the show on numerous occasions.

Its not just Claire that looses out its also the stand in presenters for instance when she was at Radio 5 Live for a few weeks over Xmas. But Roger Day also lost his 7 pm weekday slot when regional radio went nationwide a few weeks back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
