lyndon Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/18792684 Another nail in the Radio 1 coffin, I can see the BBC selling it off within the next 10 years.
milkybarkid Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Nick Grimshaw getting the show. Would've thought Scott Mills was a shoe-in for it. I know I'm in the minority, but I really don't mind Moyles. Will be sad to see him go, especially as I'm not a fan of Grimshaw.
Tremor Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 I like Moyles also. Cant stand Grimshaw. This is bad news indeed!
lennox2s2s Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Radio 1 wont be the same again without Moyles in my opinion, Sad news, Radio 1 is losing the plot,
Number2Fan Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 People say this whenever a brekkie show DJ goes. Yeah I liked Moyles on the radio but it has got tiresome tbh, and I don't mind Grimshaw actually I'm just glad that boring f***er Greg won't be doing it. Grimshaw is at least young and interesting. In all fairness I rarely listen nowadays. MBK I don't think Mills will be getting it, he's also getting on in Radio one years. But I find him funnier than Moyles alot of the time. Innuendo bingo is totally the tits!
lyndon Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Posted July 11, 2012 Scott Mills has been good for years, thought it was a better show with Chappers & Laura Sayers a few years back though. The reason why the Radio 1 bosses want younger DJ's in is so they can manipulate them easier. In 5 years every Radio 1 DJ will be like Fearne Cotton, where 'everything ever made is brilliant'. I hope the BBC sell it off by then because I don't think the station is worth the license fee.
lennox2s2s Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 I remember the good days when Mark and Lard used to be on.
Neuro Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 There always has to be change at some point. I remember people saying the same thing, up in arms with Simon Mayo / Zoe Ball...
lyndon Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 But Radio 1 still had plenty of unique talent to fall back on, back then all the DJ's didn't sounds the same.
Number2Fan Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 I remember it with every DJ from Noel Edmonds. I'm with Neuro, although Zoe Ball got on my nerves and I never listened to her at all. In fact I started watching the big breakfast att I think. I only ever purposely tuned in for Jules. With so many radio stations it's quite nice that a majority of the country can still come together in one place, for radio company in the car/at work. But I don't think the world will end coz Chris Moyles gets a lie-in. I like Grimshaw, he's better than Fearne or Greg that's for sure. All the music will be the same anyway, so it won't make a great deal of difference. As for Radio 2 lolol there's no f****** way I'd listen to the gobshite that is Chris Evans. I hate him.
JasonB Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Not bothered, been years since I listened to Radio 1 so early in the day.
drtim Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 I remember when Evans was doing the brekkie show on Radio 1.
Quadrant Posted July 16, 2012 Report Posted July 16, 2012 I remember Sara Cox did the breakfast show, I think it was Moyles who took over from her. She sounded a bit of a ladette. Basically it seems BBC R1 are having a clear-out of the old guard - Jules, Grooverider, Moyles all joined in the 1990s and probably costed them a bomb every year to keep
lyndon Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Posted July 16, 2012 Can anyone see 'Grimmy' or whatever his name is lasting more than 3 years on the stations flagship show? As far as i've heard him, he dosen't stand out from any of the other daytime DJ's at all.
Max Kane Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Moyles' leaving means very little to me as I don't listen to R1 in the mornings (or ever at all really) but I am amazed that Grimshaw is getting it - what a collosal tit that man is!
JasonB Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Better he do breakfast than a specialist show I say.
lennox2s2s Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Moyles' leaving means very little to me as I don't listen to R1 in the mornings (or ever at all really) but I am amazed that Grimshaw is getting it - what a collosal tit that man is! I barely listen to any Radio any more, Just catch my shows from podcasts and DI Radio. Its funny how things change.
lyndon Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 I wonder if they'll be broadcasting from the maternity wards in a few years time? They are certainly heading that way.
lennox2s2s Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 I wonder if they'll be broadcasting from the maternity wards in a few years time? They are certainly heading that way. What on earth would make you think something like that?
lyndon Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 If any new DJ's come in they'll be children's TV presenters... "the Iggle Piggle power hour will follow Newsbeat".
lennox2s2s Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 I understand now, Radio 1 must be targeting the younger audiences. The after school power hour, I honestly dont listen to the radio anymore.
lyndon Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 Apparently they reckon the oldest they target is 29:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/1879268 That followed a review in 2009 which said Radio 1 should focus on serving 15 to 29-year-olds I'm still well within their age range apparently, yet I haven't felt more distanced from Radio 1 than I do now.
