Quick question, who is 'madam'? Must have missed that set up?


It's producer Dave (don't remember his last name). Dominic apparently has a fascination with anagrams and typed in Daves name into an anagram website and got Madam something in return. It seems to have stuck, poor Dave :D

Ha, ok thanks! I'll have to catch up on what I missed later. I'm about to drive to work, whats the consensus on sound quality? I'm in Manchester so have a choice between DAB and FM.

I'm guessing the decision to use Madam on air was partly driven by the desire to differentiate him from the old Dave. I'm still in the stage where everytime he says "Dave" I expect Mr Vitty to answer.

Vernon might come in everyday to break it up a bit!

Vernon just mentioned that they've had to buy more space for the app (not technical) and they changed servers on the website, hopefully is good news although RAJAR doesn't count app/online listeners does it?

I wonder when the features will be intro'd?

That was a great first show, it feels so great to hear Chris and Dom and Paul the voiceover guy back on the radio :D

He must be reading this thread, quite a few people here called the cheesy song intro cutting into something new, a few seconds before I got a weird feeling that I was about to hear the cheesy song intro and there it was, amazing, knew it wasn't going to be the whole thing though! Loved how it took him 25 minutes to play a song and to have the first song played on the new station that promised 'fresh rock' Girls Aloud was pretty funny, as was the old XFM listeners' outrage on twitter completely missing the joke :lol: :lol:

I can tell I'm going to geek out whenever a reference to old show is made, I loved his dig at Ben Cooper and it was lovely to hear him mention Rachel and Aled in his response to Pippa's recommendation to play a song. Glad he's going to call Dave 'Madam', every time he said Dave's name at the beginning I kept on expecting actual Dave to speak, but of course no. And Noel Gallagher was a great choice of first guest, he never disappoints, 'You're nowt without Dave' haha :D

The adverts will get a bit annoying though, it's half 10 and I've already heard the same British Gas ad 5 times this morning :roll:

Can't wait to hear the next show, I'm really looking forward to see where he goes with the new show, I know I'm going to miss the zoo format of the old show and Aled and Dave and co, but it should be a good listen every morning :)

The cat called Dave? Yeah, I did wonder about that. Can't see the actual Dave making anything like a guest appearance though, Noel mentioned him, but I don't think Chris mentioned or referenced him at all during the show did he? Though I may be wrong, I'm half asleep at that time of morning :lol:

The cat called Dave was an actual cat of Chris' friend Stephanie Hirst,

#MoylesIsBack
Chris Moyles returns to breakfast radio as new voice of XFM

Just started trending

that is just now nearly 2 hrs after show

Just posted this over at DS so thought I'd repost over here;

So my thoughts on the show were;
- Lots of energetic moyles, with less use of dom + team although I expect that to come over the next few weeks. The "more news" and "even more news" bit had me laughing.
- Some awkward moments with Noel mentioning Dave a lot, not sure if this was deliberate or not on his part. He seems a bit too money focussed for a multi-millionaire as well but is quick witted
- No real features, that I heard, as yet but as its the first day and a special guest I assume they will come later.

It will be interesting to see how much he will use the rest of the Radio X / Global DJs for a bit of cross promotion and fun as he did on R1 as I don't think that happens much on your typical global stations. It could really help give Radio X / Global a much better brand image.

Overall great to hear Moyles back on the radio and I did laugh out loud at certain bits and I hope he can build up the momentum of the show and chemistry between the team quickly as that's when he's at his best. I hope they have fixed their streaming problems as well.

Do streaming numbers count towards rajars? I guess they probably won't as that would be way too precise :D
