Jane – it would be nice to think we’ll make moves in that direction at some stage. As it is, for a national station we’re not very representative of the nations and regions that make up the UK, or its diverse population. We’re pretty guilty of a white, middle-class, South East bias across most of our on-air voices.

Everyone on air should be there on merit, naturally, but perhaps we could search a bit wider and harder in future.

David Lloyd was a great navigator of LBC radio station when he was boss. His influence there is very much missed by the listeners now. (See Digital Spy and other commentator sites).

Btw, if TIML are the new owners of Absolute, nee Virgin, will there be (British) Asian presenters too? As in BBC’s 5Live, Asian Network and the various UK Asian commercial stations. I’m just curious, as usually anything Asian owned does have *some* kind of Asian content. Intriguing, as I haven’t heard anything along those lines yet?

Hearing Christian saying Absolute in some Absolute ideas on the show. So if you ask for a BIG MAC in Macdonald’s in London or go into a shop in the South for FM listeners, or across the UK on Sky ETC…It’s important to include ‘Absolute’ in most sentences now. Ha Ha……….. Great idea!!!!

Haha, all Customer Service departments should be called Customer DISservice for all the help you get from them.

Should the logo be read Absolute full stop to confirm its Absolutivity?

In an effort to support the new name I have renamed my fantasy football team Absolute Assholes. Previously, my team was just called Assholes.

Perhaps the other fantasy football participants might consider adding the Absolute monicker to their respective team names.

I think it might be too much to ask people to name their newborns Absolute even though it’s an androgynous name.

If we get unruly and start terrorising our neighbours, keeping old mattresses outside the door and exhibiting generally threatening behaviour to the elderly, we could always change it to asbo-lute radio?
