I still find it utterly absurd that #sport is a mandatory part of all news broadcasts. For someone with zero interest in sport, it has sounded like this to me for 50+ years: "Those were the main news headlines... Now, rodent news: Manchester Zoo has loaned Señor Fluffi, a Spanish gerbil, from Zoo Aquarium de Madrid for £20 million. They have also expressed interest in acquiring a squirrel..."
@Richard_Littler I feel the same about all news broadcasts, tbh.
I find it absolutely bizarre that I can be jiving about the kitchen on a Saturday evening, enjoying the funk & soul show on 6Music, to be brought down to earth with a thud with a news bulletin about how shit everything is.
I understand the need before we all had All The News in our pockets, but these days we need an escape.
@Richard_Littler a favourite political podcast of mine invariably ends with some random irrelevant football (or golf, or hockey(!)) guff. I find it hard to believe that even 10% of the audience appreciates it.
