I have no problem with the changes to Sunday mornings, but when will Sunday afternoons be given a revamp? Sounds of the 60s with the legendary Tony Blackburn should be moved to 1pm on Sundays, Elaine Paige could be moved to later in the day, like 7pm!

So who likes Mc Guinness at the BBC I mean really likes him 😍 If you're reading these tweets no one else does. I've lost count of programs that's been cancelled with him in it. And his ridiculous over the top bolton accent, and I'm originally from Wigan.

What is the BBC obsession with constantly pushing the talentless Paddy McGuinness on us. Another Sunday listener switch off at 11am.

Seriously @BBCRadio2 can you not find fresh talent from local radio instead of awful “celebrities “. No wonder folk are turning off. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Oh come on @BBCRadio2 Paddy McGuiness!!! Seriously where are the real DJ's who can fill these slots!! Do we have to listen to yet another celebrity taking over a weekend morning show. Leave @mrmichaelball where he is and give Sunday Love Songs to @Nicki_Chapman, she's been great!

Does anyone really need Paddy McGuiness shouting at them on a Sunday morning? (Or any other time?)

Paddy McGuinness still getting work after crashing his last 4 shows? His only skill is reading out loud in a regional accent 🤷‍♂️

How many programs are the BBC going to allow Paddy McGuinness to ruin, before they realise he is not popular with the listeners/viewers?

@mrmichaelball is the perfect replacement for Steve but, as for Paddy McGuinness, I’ll be switching off 🥴😖.

I really dislike Paddy McGuiness so unfortunately I will not be listening on Sundays now. Such a shame. I totally understand they did to find a replacement for the much missed Steve Wright but I do not get this choice. Paddy is awful. – at South Hayling, England

Why do you insist on employing ex/bad TV presenter or comedians. What’s wrong with a someone whose career is a DJ!! Can’t stand Paddy McGuiness. That’s Sundays gone, hello @greatesthitsuk

You gave Paddy Top Gear. You’ve cancelled it. You gave Paddy A Question of Sport. You’ve cancelled it. Some might say he’s not as popular as he thinks he is….

Why are you giving airtime to celebrities - poor ones at that instead of encouraging new talent! Glad Michael Ball, Bob Harris & Tony Blackburn are still on!

Just when you think Radio 2 couldn’t get any worse…they put Paddy McGuinness on!

Dear God, Paddy McGuinness. Why not have him reading the news, doing the weather and taking over from Gary Lineker on Match of the Day too? He is uniquely unqualified for all of them so should be a shoo-in

So thats why you've slashed all the local radio down to nothing! To pay for 'celebs' for Nat Radio. Not going to listen! Desperately miss my local radio family. Magic & Smooth Radio fill in a bit, but not same as local.

Paddy McGuinness… seriously?? That’s another radio 2 programme I’ll be switching off! @BBCRadio2 why pick celebs wanting to be DJs on prime time radio?

Michael is perfect for the Love Songs slot but will miss his later show. Will give Paddy McGuinness a miss. Too shouty for a Sunday morning!

The BBC destroys local radio, then over pays people who are not Radio presenters to read scripts written for them by a team of people...Glad I chose not to listen to Radio 2. Gone downhill in my book...

Paddy McGuinness will now decimate Radio 2. Sunday was the only day I have continued to listen to it.

There’s some fine people already broadcasting on radio 2 but there seems to a fascination with so called celebrities presenting shows. Most are, at best, rubbish.
