Bauer killed Wave 105 and sacked most of their loved presenters, for GHR. The connection to the community is gone. This account does not claim to be Wave 105.
Away from #Wave105, it is important to realise the amount of reasons to hate @bauermedia. They stripping all their remaining local stations of identity, sacking most presenters on Scala Radio to cut costs, and are ageists. All while building a new HQ, money must be tight 🙄 (1/2)
They've done this to my account from the very start, but nice to see it on paper 🤣 The big platforms seem to silence our opinions on these matters, don't know what more they want me to do to clarify I am not #Wave105 😭
@savewave105@RobinBlamires@stevepowerdj The only way people can be listened is to be disruptive, any politeness will just be met with responses like "we still provide local news!" This is what the intention will be for most people commenting this. Listen to Dave Kelly on Crunch n Roll, he sums Bauer up perfectly. (2/2)
@savewave105@RobinBlamires@stevepowerdj Bauer prove time and time again that they don't care about listeners, the falling number of listeners with the #Wave105 rebrand will probably be so many that they would've made more money with a fully local station. These changes accommodate affording big names at #GHR. (1/2)
@wave105radio@RealKenBruce@simonmayo@bauermedia@Ofcom ...nor will I listen to any of their other radio stations or buy any of their magazines (and I regularly took several of them)
If anyone else is interedted in boycotting the media thrust upon us by these meglomaniacs, this is a list of their brands:-

@LymingtonChris@HIOWweather@RadioToday Nation ended it's franchising agreement with Bauer in 2022, but away from them there are some good local stations still remaining, mainly on DAB though.
@RealKenBruce@simonmayo Oh, and one more thing. Destroying #Wave105 will lead to less listeners (us) and therefore less of that filthy money @bauermedia. Didn't think that one through, eh? Remember to give us a response to that complaint that finds you breaking regulations sometime too, yeah? @Ofcom x

As they sack DJs, and go presenter free on shows whilst making up excuses like people want to hear less talking, they pay @RealKenBruce and @simonmayo six (possibly seven!) figure salaries, and destroy local stations just so they can continue to afford it! SPREAD THE WORD! (2/2)
@stokesbaydave@savewave105@bauermedia@Ofcom Regardless of whether it is all over, fans of the station still want to see Bauer punished for getting around Ofcom regulations for the unwanted rebrand.
Evening everyone! We’re still waiting for a response from @bauermedia to our formal complaint and issues raised with their speak out service and @Ofcom report when have some news we’ll share #savewave105@wave105radio
Hey @bauermedia! Since you are so up the wall destroying local radio at the moment, I am kindly offering my services for free to design a new logo for @greatesthitsuk! In the wise words of Bauer's genius, @garystein, the new name ensures you'll "thrive in years to come" #Wave105
