Schedule changes at BBC 6Music

7am at weekends is too early for banging donks to be placed, no? Seriously disappointed with this.

I would love the instrumental version of this. Unable to find it online, sadly.

RadMac’s final weekday afternoon show

Mark back in the studio for the last one

Gonna really miss their show. Fantastic entertainment.

Forgive me this is slightly OT.
Increasingly I hear more across BBC shows about the BBC Sounds App. Not available here last time I checked.

I wonder if the BBC radio iPlayer app might in the future of BBC Sounds be discontinued ... And with it our access to 6Music via a BBC app.

(I know there are other ways, BBC website, TuneIn, satellite to listen 'live' but like previous poster I love to create my own schedule from previous shows, would hate to lose that)

Might it be a case that while the BBC Sounds App is for UK residents only (for the moment anyway) that they will continue to made the Radio iPlayer available for "worldwide" residents? Like yourself, I know there are other ways available to listen but they are all live only - none of them offer the same type of on demand/playback option, which I would use a lot.

So, what are people making of the first day of the new lineup then???

I like Keaveney to be honest, but miss Rad Mac in the afternoons.

Lauren Laverne is dreadful. Mary Anne used to be fine on the weekends, but her playlist in her new morning slot is rubbish.

Chris Hawkins should have got the breakfast show, he's long overdue a "promotion" to a better slot....

I like Zoe...disappointed that the first track was Aretha Franklin..Respect......i thought she was better than that...

She really isn't. Without her connections, she'd probably be on local radio. Sara Cox would have been a better choice than her, been filling in for holiday cover for years and never did anything wrong....

Anyway, this is the 6Music thread - we're all hip, cool and edgy here so we don't listen to mainstream BBC Radio 2.

I wish they'd replace Certs Matthews. Not a fan. Mark Reilly is a bit annoying too.
Radcliffe and Maconie are great but I believe Mark is quite ill now.

I think Cerys prepares for her shows by typing "coolest most obscure hipster playlist" into Google.... I don't mind her as a presenter most of the time, but the music is not for me. Marc Riley is there for a specific task for a specific audience (much like Cerys really), but I don't really listen to him to be honest.

RadMac are one of the best radio co-presenters I've heard and are completely wasted in their new slot. Thankfully, there is a playback option and I would imagine that this how most people will listen to them from now on. Unfortunately, that is true about Mark but hopefully he will pull through and come back to us soon fit as a fiddle with a clean bill of health.

With regards to Mark Radcliffe, think he's already presenting his folk show on maybe BBC4?

He's back with Stuart in February. Rang in the first day of new RADMAC on Saturday gone.

that's just the general 6Music playlist though, isn't it? extremely repetitive and predictable. she probably can't really get away with playing her weekend stuff now that she's catering to the daytime lot.
her weekend shows had great music, as did her XFM and Radio1 shows.

Steve Lamacq is the worst thing about BBC 6 Music, that Roundtable hour long slot sounds like local radio.

I miss Keavney in the morning, but suspect it might just be Stockholm Syndrome...

He is painfully, embarrassingly stuck in the 90s
