Former Take That star has been shunned by Radio 1 – but it seems listeners to its sister station don't want him either
*Robbie Williams* was memorably shunned by Radio 1 – breakfast DJ Nick Grimshaw declared him "irrelevant"– but does the sometime Take That man belong on Radio 4? Some of its listeners think not after Williams was featured in the new series of Radio 4 music programme, Mastertapes, talking about his first solo album. "Radio 4 is supposed to be a chat, chatty, talking, speaking, questioning sort of station, so why is there a popular music programme called Mastertapes?" one listener asked the station's Feedback programme. Except, Radio 1 has plenty of speech, so why shouldn't Radio 4 occasionally have music? It is, like a popular ITV drama, a broad church. Another listener said: "Please send these intrusions back to Radios 1 or 2. Radio 4 is supposed to be for speech." Yeah, like Radio 1 would have him. Reported by guardian.co.uk 27 minutes ago.
