Has anyone else given up on daytime Radio 2? (self.casualuk)

I'm generally ok with the music that's on it, but the presenters man.
I don't want to listen to Jeremy Vine talking about "middle ground" on settled issues to rile up Daily-Mail readers so they phone in and froth.

The only thing it really has going for it is the music playlist, as it does tend to flow well with the day.

Radio 3 and 4 with the grown ups is becoming more and more my jam.

I enjoy Sara Cox's evening drivetime show. I sometimes wish I didn't, but when you're doing yet another 4-hour slog up the M1/M6 in evening rush hour traffic it's perfect company.

And Zoe Ball can be OK in the mornings, although I'll often tune into something with a bit less chatter unless I'm feeling particularly enthusiastic. Other than those two shows, R2 doesn't really do it for me. And yes, Jeremy Vine is utterly off-putting.
