Some big changes to the 5 live schedule 2:03pm on 20 Oct 2009 I'm reasonably pleased. I think Gabby Logan will do fine and hopefully the sports hour will be retained on a Friday. I think Richard Bacon is a good presenter who deserves his chance during the daytime. I would have preferred a 3 hour slot or extending the mid afternoon programme to 4.30 or 5pm. (fridays excepted of course). Because do we really need a 3 hour Drive programme repeating the same news as the previous hour?

Also good to see Tony Livesey getting a regular slot.

Would agree with average40's comments re 5live sport and Friday Nights. I much prefer Mark Pougatch on a Friday with Gab Marcotti with Steve Claridge or guests like Perry Groves or Pat Nevion popping in now and again. I think Pougatch is a more professional, accomplished presenter.

However I do like Colin Murray especially on Fighting Talk but with him on Friday, Saturday and Sunday it is a bit much. Would also like to see Eleanor Oldroyd more. I would also like to say the Danny Baker is like a breath of fresh air and I enjoy his show.
