On my DAB radio when I listen to radio 1 it says Radio 1 on the screen as it should do but "BBC Vision Trial" keeps flashing up in its place. I know that BBC vision trial was that week this year and last year where you filmed the show but why should that be flashing up on my DAB radio now??

What is your beef? I was answering your question because you are to lazy to find out why.
You do someone a favour and they get all pissy with you

Let me give you one example. I remember working in the daytime office in Radio 1 - so that would have been within the last 9 years - and someone on Jo Whiley's team put their phone on loudspeaker. It was Lenny Henry who left a voice message expressing disappointment in us for playing a song with the 'N' word in it. I remember my reaction was shock, and thinking he was being a bit sensitive and over reacting but the word wasn't used in an angry way. A few of us had a discussion as to whether there was anything in it, and I think the end judgement was the 'N' word was continued to be used in that case.
I'm white. And at that time the word was used. Lenny showed us through complaining that there were black people who were becoming offended and were feeling uncomfortable with that word. I didn't get it.
Fast forward 9 years and the 'N' word is one of the 4 most sinful words for the BBC and you will not hear it on Radio 1 without permission from the highest level.
