Radio 6 Music. Why would you listen to anything else?

No way, Evans is sound. Radio 2 all the way for me and has been that way for quite sometime now. Radio 1 makes me do a little sick in my mouth and Moyles makes me just sick.
Here we go again! 'I cannot stand him but listen to him'?! You try and qualify it by saying you prefer R1's music, but Moyled plays less tracks than any other R1 DJ......

What i NEVER understand is the generic response of "Thank f*** for that. He was shit. I never listen to that shit anyway"
Why do you even CARE then? Its like me being overjoyed that someone has left the cast of The Only Way is Essex. It doesn't bother me as I don't watch it!
Anyway, it seems the natural breakpoint for him to leave. He is bordering on 40 and their target audience is 15 to 29.
I listen to it in passing as I really am rushed in the mornings but I wouldn't even do that if it was Fearne bloody Cotton or Vernon Shitting Kay.
I can see it being someone from a different station altogether.

Nick Grimshaw is the replacement.
Because I can't get it in my car?

That's pretty much what I was trying to say, but you've done a much better job. The TOWIE example is a good one.

There is no way he will be as good as Moyles, he made the show his own and it wont be the same without him. Probably would just listen to my iphone in the morning now, as i cant see Nick Grimshaw being that good, i cant stand Chris Evans and Heart play adverts and the same music over and over again.
Also, all these people saying "good" and "hes shit" - if you know its about Chris Moyles and you know you dont like him - why actually bother posting in a topic about him ?

I can't stand Nick Grimshaw
I don't always like Chris Moyles, but he's very, very good at the style of show he does and I respect him for that. It's certainly not for everyone, but he knows exactly what he wants to do, who he wants to attract and I think pretty much nails it.
Nick Grimshaw is an interesting choice, and may be a move away from the team aspect of the show. I've got a sneaking suspicion they've put him in on a short deal, and will shift Greg James in if he falters. James' rise has been pretty rapid, and he seems to have gained a solid fan base during it so he seems like a solid backup if Grimshaw doesn't cut it.

Because some people like the music of Radio 1 but don't like to listen to him. Now he is going, someone more palatable like Grimshaw will mean people can tune into Radio 1 in the morning and listen to the music they like, without having to put up with 2 hours and 47 minutes of Chris talking. Your TOWIE example was poor, there are PLENTY of other TV shows, or things to do whist that trash is on. Most people listen to the radio on their commute to work. Now he is going, people have a better choice for what to listen to, assuming they like his replacement.

Because, being part of a car share where the driver picks the radio station, I am forced to endure his hilarious bon mots for up to an hour a couple of mornings a week. No longer.

No excuse for listening to that twat Chris Moyles if your mental age exceeds 10 though is it?
I used to like Moyles, would make me laugh quite a lot at times, but stopped listening to radio 1 or any other music station a couple of years ago. Not really sure why to be honest but just started listening to Radio 5 and Talksport all the time, both of which I really enjoy, or my iPod. Now Im 30, maybe its an age thing!

This !! I still look back fondly on the days of simon bates, our tune and the golden hour .
At least then the golden hour featured any year, nowadays the odd ones I hear are hardly "golden" seem to be a bit like sky & football - it didn't exisit before the permier league
I don't, I listen to Radio 2, as mentioned previously.
