I remember one Friday evening a major fire broke out in a new student building with a novel design at my old university just before the new university year was to start.  I checked the stream for the local BBC station on BBC Sounds and there was not a mention of it, they just carried on with an inane phone in about baby names.

I always think of a video Ashens did a few years back where he was reviewing these pocket radios, and when he got to BBC Radio Norwich, he said "bloody hell, it's some old man ranting about the toilets at the BBC" and he was going on for ages, and I can't help but feel that sums up a lot of the content on BBC local radio. That baby names thing is just another variation on the theme.
