He sounds like he's having a friendly conversation with a mate, not like he is forcing himself to entertain. Anyway, I don't consider myself a radio expert, but at the moment I am happy to spend the day listening to Merge :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368053937631641478.post-7063544515044110892011-06-21T19:04:12.983+04:002011-06-21T19:04:12.983+04:00Why no mention of the Classical music station??Why no mention of the Classical music station??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368053937631641478.post-37370449753220878712011-06-21T16:47:36.829+04:002011-06-21T16:47:36.829+04:00See!

Then switch frequencies just to see what the others are up to. Luckily (or unluckily) if I happen to catch the presenter I listen for a while, otherwise switch back to BBC world service :). The couple of times I've managed to catch Chris Fisher on air, I have been left disappointed. I am being very honest here and I don't know how many out there (if any at all) would agree with this but I truly feel Chris Fisher doesn't know how to talk proper English let alone presenting on air. He sounds really nervous. Doesn't have a clue at times. Is at a loss for words at others. Daz on the other hand is spontaneous and extempore. Even when Daz is clueless he's entertaining. Mr. Fisher on the other hand is amateur at most. Sorry if I offend anyone, i'm just putting across my point-of-view.<br /><br />Seeing the hand waving 'good-bye' on the top right corner one might think that Merge is not going to be here for a long time, unless an until the owners keep it running as a matter of prestige. As far as the music is concerned, I have absolutely no idea, but I would guess Lady Gaga would sound the same on either frequencies :) I haven't mentioned Old faithful 90.4 cos Faiq's in a class of his own! whatever that means.<br /><br />To sum it up I see Merge as the 'Y' magazine of the radio world. You just turn to it cos there's nothing else to read 'at that moment' (Maybe cos their related???)@O3mernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368053937631641478.post-5419870754583023492011-06-21T13:40:55.012+04:002011-06-21T13:40:55.012+04:00The Merge playlist is far, far superior to HiFM...The Merge playlist is far, far superior to HiFM's androgynous replays of the top 10- an aural version of the movie 'The Human Centipede' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX8fKLjC__c)<br />HiFM's presenters are, except for Chris Fisher, better though, especially now that Rachy-Roo has f'd off.<br />Credit to 90.4 for at least giving stuff away for their competitions- HiFM ask all these questions and get people to text the answer at bzs200 each and give nothing away!Enoughnoreply@blogger.com
