Classic FM Reviews 

Dan Walker on Classic FM - like finding breakfast has been replaced by a bowl of broken glass. Hospital Radio and Bach?

I’m afraid my (former) favourite radio station is on an inexorable slide to a self-inflicted nadir. Dan Walker? Really? He’s about as convincing as a giraffe with dark glasses attempting to enter a polar bears only golf club. Totally not suited. Granted, Tim Lihoreau was always going to be nigh on impossible to follow but Dan Walker? He sounds like a second hand car salesman. No polish, finesse or informed articulation. He’d be more at home on Heat Radio or such like. Please beg / convince Tim to return to his usual slot, one I’ve been privileged to enjoy for 12 years.

I'm going off Classic FM and will be listening to BBC radio 3 more.
New announcers....Jonathan Ross and Dan Walker...for goodness sake....they really have lowered the tone.
Furthermore....the adverts....they're a killer.
Enough is enough. Such a shame.

Classic FM can move around and/or replace as many presenters as they want but until they address their ridiculously repetetive playlist,they will keep losing listeners.Mind you,I don't suppose Global boss young Ashley minds as he was in the New Years honours!Radio 3 is succeeding in becoming what Classic FM was when it originally started..I think Sam Jackson (ex Classic FM boss) is doing a great job for the Beeb.

The "fresh new classic fm" looks like another arranging of the deckchairs on the Titanic. The ship is truly sinking. You move the wonderful Tim to make way for the insipid Dan Walker at breakfast AlexanderArmstrong is so full of himself it is beyond nausea. Thank goodness we have dear Ann- Marie. To inflict yet another dose of Jonathan Ross is cruelty. At least the overly pompous Andrew Marr has gone and the ever grumpy John Humphreys has been curtailed. I write this with great sadness, l can no longer listen to you as I know many other feel the same way. The wonderful voices of John Brunning and others are much missed.I have a huge selection of CDs which will replace Classic FM

Such a shame the wit and personality of Tim Lihoreau is no longer presenting the Monday-Friday breakfast show. Also, starting the new dry and dull Dan Walker show at 06:30 (and not on the hour at 06:00) is a bit unusual and disjointed when many would be listening over that time period.

I have been a loyal listener to Classic fm since day one, I listen every day on my numerous DAB radios throughout the house . In particular my favourite is through my AV system with a dedicated DAB tuner.
Unfortunately, for no good reason you have decided to switch to DAB+ and made all of my equipment useless.
I made a conscious decision to switch from fm signal to DAB ( including specialist external aerials ) years ago.
You have lost yet another listener. Which you cannot afford to do according to dramatic falling listener numbers. Don Jowett

For first time since it started I have changed from Classic FM to another morning show as Dan Walker hasn’t got the knowledge voice or personality and I cannot listen to him. Such a shame.

Have been with Classic FM from the outset but now can seldom bear it. The playlist is so circumscribed and REPETITIVE. All my friends say likewise, and have gravitated elsewhere (e.g. to Radio 3). The focus, as in so many organizations, is on new 'customers' at the expense of many existing ones. Such a shame....and avoidable.

I listen to Classic Fm most days, most of the day.
However, Dan Walkers recent breakfast show will alter that. His show is dominated by him and the music a second to this. Other presenters prioritise the classical music more. I will be switching off for daily breakfast slots now.

Started listening to Classic FM during COVID and loved the music and the refreshing well spoken and intelligent presenters The only irritating presenter was Tim on the breakfast show who I would immediately turn off on my journey to work I was then thrilled to learn Dan Walker was taking over so I could leave Classic on my car radio
I switched on the radio this Saturday to listen to the lovely Alan Titchmarsh who was a great start to the weekend and a genuinely nice chap only to find Tim back and poor Alan given an awful slot between 4-7pm Disaster! Bring back Alan please!

Listen to Radio 3 instead. Far better, and no inane adverts.
How many listeners will Classic fm lose?

Thanks for messing up my Friday evenings which i USED to spend cooking and listening to smooth classics and NOW it seems i have to listen to JR and weird movie music. You WILL lose your audience.

I own three DAB radios (living room, kitchen and shed) - none of which can now be used to listen to Classic fm on digital..which is what they have over the years been acquired for (the most recent purchases are distinctly new to me). This all amounts to a monstrous lie which was told in the days we were originally being persuaded to switch to digital. So FM has outlived DAB.
Absolute shame on Global and Classic.

Saturday night at the movies has really gone downhill since JR took over. Choice of music weird and drab.
Moira Stuart played some good stuff today. As others have said the adverts are awful and just go on far too long. I listen a lot less these days. Family have switched to Scala.

Can't stand Armstrongs supercilious blithering (all inane talk - less music) and quailty of music has declined - too much lightweight stuff and where is all the beautiful serious stuff? Have gone back to Spotify and Radio 3.

I do wonder if classic fm. Have realised how many listeners they are to lose again messing with transmissions to dab +

CLASDIC FM LOOK AT YOIR LOW * REVIEWS , CHANGE YOUR WAYS.

Thank you ClassicFM for messing up my radio listening. Why? Because you are changing to DAB+ for no good reason. Lots of people like me have older DAB Amplifiers and radios that means changing to new ones at £500+. For what? It was great as it was. I suspect ClassicFM is going ot lose many thousands of listeners and thus advertising revenue because of this. Well done for shotting yourselves in the foot. ClassicFM is not junk status.

So classic FM are changing to a new super DAB format meaning that if you want to hear their music you will probably have to upgrade your radio . I for one will not do this as I believe they are missing the point of what service they are putting forward, instead of bringing music to the masses they are returning to the same old format, classic music is only for the elite . So I hope that most people won't change their radios and find other stations to listen to as this radio station is not greater than the people who listen to it

The same tunes over and over again. No one seems to have any creativity. Nabucco slaves chorus, The sleeping beauty waltz, la Traviata overture. I could go on and on about the same old tunes.
Radio 3 in the morning at 9.00 shows how to play good and interesting classical music . Also the only opera seems to be The slaves chorus or Madame Butterfly,the humming chorus. What is wrong with some beautiful arias ? I am losing patience with Classic FM. It has been getting worse and I just want to let you know how bad it is.
