I think the saddest part of this is the specialist programmes, which have now lost their identity. Instead of lovely pieces of music in the theme of the programme you're left with the same woman introducing every programme in the same dull tone zaps the personality out of them. It seems to me as if they haven't bothered with the effort of creating full sung jingles for every programme - even Good Morning Sunday and OJ Borg have got the default soleless voice. I think it's best demonstrated with the Folk Show, where it goes from a brilliant piece of music (which sounds very much to my ears like Bellowhead) to a soleless v/o with the programme name.

And it's the same situation with Sounds of the 80s and Pick of the Pops, where the new jingles stick out like a sore thumb against the lovely backing track.
