Wanted: new faces to play the same old songs

Article Abstract:

The commercial radio sector in the UK has expanded rapidly over recent years, but the choice for listeners does not seem to have developed much, and standards are still mixed. There are often few differences between local radio stations, and many observers believe that radio has become very bland. DJs are no longer expected to talk very much, and rarely have any control over the musich which is broadcast.
