They should have considered running it from 1500-1700 Daily, so that more of the news agenda could be picked up and covered.
Isn’t The Wright Stuff’s news agenda the news agenda from that days tabloids though, rather than based on any breaking news that may happen before 3pm.
Does R2 still go into the news at the TOTH? I guess they could extend the bulletin slightly, and perhaps go straight into a song which should give him another 8 minutes, starting his show after 12?

How will he prepare for it, how will he be briefed for it (the radio show)? I can't see this working somehow.
So BBC Radio Two will need a fairly consistent stand in presenter, for that slot when Vine is in Glasgow or on holidays then. Anyone but Feltz.
They need someone used to presenting current affairs programming, fairly relaxed presenting style, and done some live radio speech/music work before.
Matthew Wright, anyone?
I don't understand people's problem with Vanessa Feltz. She can do the programme, she handles the callers pretty well, and I'd say less potentially annoying than Matthew Wright.
Paddy O'Connell has been quite good every time he's covered too.
