Please come back.

 

The new bloke is shit.

Stop.

 

 

True. I stopped listening to Radio 1 when they got shot of Mark & Lard.

 

aye, it's been downhill ever since

 

that said, even their spell doing the breakfast show (by their own admission) was shit and cringeworthy

 

the late night/afternoon shows were daily doses of comedy genius

I've not listened to radio 1 in the morning since the day Chris Moyels left.

 

Id love to see the figures since he left.

 

You can just go on the Rajar website - it'll give you those, but his remit, I believe, was to lower the age, not so much increase listening figures.

 

Basically Radio One is there as part of a public service broadcaster to cater for a certain age demographic, what was happening under Moyles was that the age had increased beyond what it should be serving (basically a Radio 2 morning audience)

 

Also there are so many stations, even under the BBC, so some of Grimshaw's audience might be listening to 6 Music or XFM.

 

He is an annoying tosspot though. But at 35, I think that's what I suppose to feel towards him and his zany London antics.

 

Radio Five, Four or Three for me; love Mayo and Kermode's film programme on a Friday afternoon, if you haven't heard it - listen.

Talksport pretty much all day for me now.

 

It's amazing how much more Ive begun to like Alan brazil now that spunk bubble has departed.

 

As for lowering the listening age? Kind of false economy really if you end up fuck all listeners anyway.

 

Moyesly was superb imo

Moyles used to get on my wick with his arse-licking of certain celebs.

 

.. but since he's gone I don't half miss him on my drive into work.  I just switch between Talksport and Tower FM now (until that slag 'Vix' gets on my tits too much and I switch over again).

You are correct re reducing the age, they were discussing it on Feedback a couple of weeks back. They said that his audience figures were the same as Moyles' after he'd been doing the show for a year. The Moyles audience stayed with him rather than moving across to radio 2, xfm or whatever. The problem then was that the independent radio stations were losing market share on account of this.

It's true, you do turn into your parents.

 

When I was a lad, my dad would have Radio 4 on in the car and I'm like 'get some bloody music on man'

 

Now I'm 5 live, Radio 4 all the time on the car.

see, I'm not sure I agree on that. I'm pretty down with it on the music front, it's the presenters I want to harm.

Col, when they let you go, was it on your birthday? Did you cry? Could your kids sleep at night?

My favourite RV moment was him pronouncing Kostas Konstantinidis' name on his Reebok debut like it rolled off the tongue. I seem to remember people waiting in anticipation to see how it was pronounced, and it drew a massive applause from fans afterwards. Top man.

 

TIL NEXT TIME

Practised that name for weeks!!!......cheers CC....

Listen to Howell & Jamie in the mornings now that Moyles has gone. Not a chance I'm listening to that cnut Grimmy.

I don't get this love in with Moyles,he is a talentless,arrogant Yorkshire cunt.

Exactly

 

And the way he formed a career out being just that is fucking genius.

 

No cheesy commercial bullshit,it was just a fat bloke from Yorkshire talking crap with his mates for a few hours.

 

Loved it.

I'd like to see Oggy as a judge on X Factor or Britain's got Talent. It might make them worth watching.

Oh and this Georgie Bingham lass doing drive today....

 

Reckon shes playing with Darren Goughs todger during the show??

Frank Spencer's got a few cd's of that if he will lend you one

Back on topic though Reebok voice was class. Bolton fan with time for everyone, surely we had more important things to do then replace someone who was doing a good job
