[Closed] Chris Evans comes straight out with it - Moyles should go - BRILLIANT

Used to listen to Moyles show and equally loathed him but liked the banter then I discovered the Shaun Keaveny breakfast show on 6music. Sharp witty chat from the Northener and Husker Du and The Fall before 9am 😀

the bbc doesn't cater for my radio needs...

i'm not a 13 year old girl, so can't listen to radio1 (and every single one of their presenters annoys the 5h1t out of me - but that's fine, i'm not the target audience - i'm not a girl, and i'm not 13.

i'm not so old that i've forgotten what it was like to have teeth, so i can't listen to radio2. i like that they play stuff from the archives, but why do they choose such bland, boring rubbish? - where are the dylan live reordings, that sort of thing?

i do listen to radio4, but as i don't do jesus, that gets switched off often.

where's [i]my[/i] radio station?

That's like saying, 'where's [i]my[/i] supermarket?'

Don't fret and fuss. Just bung some of yer own music on. Or, record shows that are on at different times, and then play them throughout the day. iPlayer's good for that.

I read this and I agree with Hora, Christian is solid gold. Unfortunately too old for the R1 slot and not everyones cup of tea. I love Alan Carr on Radio 2 on saturdays.

awhiles.... there are a vast number of internet radio stations available now... an almost infinite number in fact..

I can pretty much guarantee that [i]your[/i] radio station is amongst them somewhere...

i do most/all of my radio listening in places where i can't get on tinterweb, and i'm basically on dial-up at home.

anyway, i can't be alone, there must be loads of people who sit in the chasm between radio1 and 2...? i just want to turn the radio on, and hear some music that i might like. it's can't be that hard surely?

i was unfortunate enough to have had to listen to chris evans when the to$$3r was on R1, i think the only dj who has ever come close to that level of tripe is sarah cox

im sure moyles is quaking in his boots.

Dev is the best one on radio 1. He's a bit new but does make me laugh, good taste in music and seems a good egg. I'd like to see him get the breakfast slot.

I'd just like any BBC dj to play a whole record without jabbering a load of bollox at the start or cutting the end short.

Can't stand fatty moyles so I don't listen to him, saviour of radio 1 my arse! Sean kievney on 6 FTW

Moyles' 'rant' wasn't really a rant. I listened to it after the press kicked off and i wondered what all the fuzz is about. Given Evans' antics when he was on radio 1, pot and kettle comes to mind.

Is voice is bloody soothing on the radio. Even when he was discussing his kids/school I listened with interest. How sad is that?!!

I find the 'fashionable' crowd who jump on the 'I hate Moyles' bandwagon almost as funny as Moyles himself!

Must admit I've never listened to him or Evans.

I prefer 6, BBC Asian network or Absolute 80/90's. Everything else is psychological noise.

I like moyles (on the radio only) and I used to like evans. I've listened to his radio 2 show and it is pap.

I listen to the whole of moyles show on a wednesday whilst driving to my head office. I usually makes me laugh out loud on more than one occasion.

Not this again!
Slice open the stomach of Steve Wright and shove the bloated bodies of his children, Moyles and Evans inside. Stitch it up and dump it in the ocean.
Bring back DJs who are interested in music.

Yess.

mind you, 'play your neighbourhood' radio on last.fm works well for me.

digital radio is already out of date, soon to be thrown on the same heap as tape, betamax, vhs, minidisc and cd.

i hope i'm wrong, but i almost never am.

LW will still be here when we've all forgotten about the insult to music that is digital radio.

(FM offers better sound reproduction, yes i can tell the difference)

NO IT ISN'T. IT'S AT THE BOTTOM OF [B]ECCLESALL ROAD[/B].

Personally, it's "Thought for the Day" that gets MY head of steam going...

Me too. Although, now I'VE said it, nobody's going to believe you...

so what happens, i slate Sarah Cocks and there she is this morning polluting the airwaves.
you will be glad to learn that i used my free will and turned it off within about 10secs. Now im going to find out if she is on all week.

oh, dear, you've got me started.

rabbi lionel blue, what a tw4t;

"autumn is a very depressing time of year"

tw4t.

Yeah but in all fairness, it doesn't take a lot, does it Woppit? 😀

I listen to him in the morning on my commute 6:30 to 7:45 ish.

Some of the comments on this thread about him being arrogant and on a previous thread about Moyles being homophobic just show that you don't actually listen to his show.

His arrogance is part of the 'act' but because he is a bit thick, its not a very clever act, nor is his humour that great either, but he is entertaining when your sat on the M1 with nothing better else to do.

As to the options, well Chris Evans used to be fantastic on the drive time Radio 2 slot, but since coming to mornings he has been Terry Wogan'ed and turned a bit dull with crap music, although it is improving, other than that theres Radio 4 which is informative, but when the M1 drive is dull enough, Radio 4 would just be too much!

Strangely though, this morning Sarah Cox was in for Moyles with the usual team, and she did bring a breath of fresh air to the show and was very amusing, despite me hating everything she has ever done in the past!

I too used to switch off when Ms Cox cam eon the radio but now I find her the most enjoyable DJ..... must be getting old (which I am):
