Save the Nibbler
Our local Rose Hill celeb is Mike Knibbs, the chair of Villiers Neighbourhood Watch, who does the travel reports on BBC Radio Oxford’s breakfast show. In a shock move, though, his services are being dispensed with by the station in favour of automated reports from London. You can sign the petition to keep the Nibbler on the air here. More details about the turmoil at Radio Oxford here.
I hope his reports are better than the ones on Radio Gloucestershire. Pretty well every morning the unfortunate woman who does them has to find another way of saying there’s nothing to report. Then they go over to a man in Bristol who has to find an ingenious way of saying there’s no problems over a wider area. How they must long for a job at Capitol Radio and a go in their helicopter…
Good riddance I say! He is bumbling, incoherent at times and generally devoid of any personality. There is no room for sentimentality on something as important as advising people of travel problems on the morning commute to work.
I look forward to someone that can actually articulate a travel bulletin eg. the people that do all of the other travel bulletins on BBC Oxford.
Sad loss. Interesting,good presenter and a decent bloke who has done his bit for the country.Rod Foster is a twat.
