At many stations I doubt there is anyone left who could cope with a many hours open ended broadcast and actually do it justice
I agree with this. The likes of Andrew Edwards on Radio Leeds will be missed when there's a need for special programmes to cover weather related events etc. I believe Andrew finishes this weekend, which is a shame. I don't think any of the presenters left behind could carry an open ended show with lots of information coming in.
I gave up on checking in on local radio for news of such events when I tuned in earlier this year when there was bad snow fall one morning and all Radio Leeds were doing were playing clips from Instagram!
