If our opening listeners are able to let most of his inane drivel go by , listening will gradually get easier as the juiciness of Goughs' delivery dries up & so the commentary as a whole will will flatten out, making conditions a whole lot easier for listening.
In other words Gough will run out of things to say after the first hour each day, after that it will just be the sweet sound of leather on willow.....
Seriously I think this might backfire very badly. You have the feeling that TMS has built up a huge & really eclectic army of listeners, who Goughie & co will drive absolutely mad.
If the idea is to appeal to younger generations, all well & good, but this ideally needs to be done without alienating the majority of the existing customer base.
Good luck Goughie, choose your fellow commentary delivers carefully
