The sound of where we live

Is it time for consultants to take a look at BBC Radio ?

BBC Local went national from 10pm to 1pm last night, with Becky Want presenting live from Salford. Meanwhile Phil Williams (in for O J Borg) was presenting from midnight to 3pm on Radio 2.  Both had playlists heavy on oldies from the 70s and 80s. Spookily, both played new records by The Sugababes and Alvin Lee Meldau. 

Becky's producer found her 'John from Worcester', who turned out to a rather voluble if harmless fan of Aston Villa. If that's the only distinction between the two services, then surely Rhodri and Tim can get even more dosh for their digital sandpit.
