Radio 5 has, to my mind, had a bit of a resurgence in the past few years. Mark Chapman with Chris Sutton and Micah Richards is regularly joyous and they've also realised that you need to put a proper pundit/journalist together with the 'characters' so you get some reasonable analysis and insight too. In general their football coverage is more varied, definitely less white middle aged and you hear some interesting opinions on a relatively regular basis. And - as long as you avoid the nonsense phone-ins neither Campbell nor Savage are anywhere to be seen...
....all of the above is purely re evening and weekend output. Fuck knows what they do in the day.
