Quote from: KRS on March 24, 2015, 10:48:39 PMRadio WM: file under "irrelevant"I'd go far to say that it is one of the worst radio stations I've ever had the misfortune of listening to...and if you go beyond the football coverage, you will find a whole new level of shameful radio broadcasting funded by our license fees. From the early morning phone ins, to the pathetically outdated music selection and inaccurate travel news, Radio WM is reason enough for license fee to be abolished.Was Radio WM ever relevant? I always thought of it as an "old people's station", with Ed Doolan going on about gas bills and the NHS. I never bothered with their sports coverage - always preferred BRMB with Tony Butler then George Gavin.The only show I can ever remember tuning into was "Samantha's Sunday Night Party", which was early 90s (I think).

Did he go to Sky?
I thought I was told George Gavin was a nose, but one in the Tom Ross, Ian Danter mold where you don't instantly turn off

His added delight whenever we did Liverpool in those days was the biggest giveaway.
I could never understand why anyone took George Gavin seriously. He was a clown who would come out with ever-more hysteria and hyperbole, his shock jockism was so clearly faked as to be embarrassing and above all he was a coward who could dish it out but was totally unable to take even the mildest criticism. That he's been doing the Sky Sports graveyard shift for twenty years sums him up.

So whilst he stuck up for the Villa he was indeed the paupers Tony Butler of local radio.
