If it's too late then it is a damn shame and not a little short sighted. Bernard Wriggley's comment says a lot. I would have thought that BBC Radio 4 was a better model to aspire to. Lots of quality and always the chance of something a bit odd.

GMR is pretty dreadful saved only by Sounds of Folk, the glorious Beswick, a few community based progs and the totally nuetral footy coverage.
