How sad to hear Southern Counties Radio is dropping four of its best radio presenters.

They were all a lovely mix of Radio 2 and Radio 4 types but part of one big happy family at the same time.

The listening figures have dropped because the station's management is trying to turn it into Radio 1-style station. A similar parallel is to be found with what happened to Marks & Spencer.

We should keep supporting John Radford, Bill Buckley, Ed Douglas and Dominic Busby. They are still doing a great job, which must be difficult knowing you have been sacked.
