One question missing, does this mean no post 20-20 music at Old Trafford next season?

    It sounds like it'll be an obnoxious ear raping.

  • Different audience. Different times.   It may be "good fur business" but it's not good for local music and radio fans from the North West   Every man and his dog used to watch Parkinson; doesn't me

    Moyles is a cunt.   The reason I listened to XFM was to get away from his ilk and Radio WankOne   Boon Army!!!!!

I like Moyles , or I did when he was fat.

 

Johnny Vaughan sounds like he is pissed on Talksport and he is shit.

I reckon there'll be a breakaway Manchester radio station sooner rather than later with the redundant DJs. No doubt there will be clauses to stop them.... but sure it will materialise.... a bit like the Sunday Sun.

Sunset Radio! Big shout out to Shaun in the big house :)

The Sunday Sun started in 1919.

You probably mean the The Sun on Sunday.

James stannage can do the late night talk show. "I'll garrotte you with cheese wire, baby"

He's on Manchester Online Radio on a Monday.

Tried Jonny Vaughan on my drive home last night and Moyles this morning.

 

Lasted less than 3-4 minutes on either

 

Absolute alehouse fodder

I heard yesterday, between 7 and 8, Moyles played a grand total of 3 records.

 

So seeing as I really don't want to listen to some arsehole whitter on about themselves, I won't be listening ta very much

No reason to listen to anything except Radio 6. And the breakfast show chap is a Leyther

Jumped in the car mid morning yesterday. Flicked on Vernon's show. It was playing Love Spreads by the Roses. Vernon said plenty more Roses stuff to be played each day to keep the Manchester contingent happy.

 

Flicked on Vaughan about 6.30 last night. He has a game called "Beat Gary Busey". I got bored after 3-4 mins. I want to hear tales of people finding a fiver in some old jeans or a pound in a shopping trolley!!

 

Back to Talksport and 5Live

I like Keaveny; that's where I've gone on to in the mornings

 

The minute he mentions lobby he's off though

I think I getting o.d, I only tend to listen to 5live or absolute 80s these days

Absolute 80s is belting for a road trip sing along.

I only listen to the radio when I'm doing the washing up (now THAT'S getting old) and the DAB automatically switched to Absolute while XFM was off air before the relaunch. Seems a few of the old XFM DJ's have ended up on there, so that'll do for me. No Boon yet though.

i liked absolute 80s

 

then after a while i started to wonder if they just had one 'now' album on a loop

 

I remember Jasper Carrott saying he'd heard Stannage's phone-in while driving down the M6 after gigs.

 

His story was that he heard that a bloke wrote in, asking for a pen pal and saying his hobbies were flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality, to which Stannage (allegedly) replied "You're flogging a dead horse there, mate".

aye

 

was the same with absolute 90s

 

saw this about Radio X

 

The brand new national radio station — which has replaced XFM — promises to play the "best fresh rock and guitar-based music across the UK" and was described in marketing material as "male-focused" for 25 to 44-year-olds.
 
Regulars on the playlist will include Florence & The Machine, Mumford & Sons, Blur, Arctic Monkeys, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, The Maccabees, Radiohead, Nirvana, The Smiths, Royal Blood, Kasabian, Catfish & The Bottlemen and Kings of Leon.
 
so same as XFM then, just with different presenters
 
will stick with Evans

Oh aye, Florence, that fresh rock and guitar based music that loads of blokes listen to.

How are any of the bands listed above 'fresh'?

So it's basically for people my age who can't be arsed looking up new bands anymore.

 

Well, I'm in then.

Loads of new listeners. Gonna be a winner for them
