I've put my follow-on post about Xfm axing all its daytime DJs over on Strange Attractor, partly because it seemed a bit out of place here, but mainly because that blog has a different audience, one I think should read about this.
I'm so sad to see what XFM is doing to itself, and I can only hope that listeners are disappointed enough at 10am on Tuesday 29th May when the new DJ-free schedule kicks in that we'll see a revolt akin to the post-Capital reformatting protest of 98.

![]() I've now permanently moved my blog over to http://chocolateandvodka.com/ and will no long be updating this version, other than with the occasional summary of new posts. Please do not leave comments here, but instead find the equivalent post on my new site, and comment there instead. Comments left here will not be published, as I'd like to keep things all together on the new installation. Sorry if this is an inconvenience. |

What's all the fuss about - it works well in the US (listen to Jackfm) and any DJ/presenter with talent will still make it. I am 43 and been passionate about radio for 38 years and still a presenter on Kent ILR stations as well as Radio Caroline.

This isn't about what "works" but about what I like. I want good DJs, not a computer-aided list of what's most popular.
And if all radio stations go this way, where will the jobs be for DJs? |
