Was off this morning and put radio 1 on in the kitchen. Nick's Tape was on and it simply reinforced how shit x and the platinum hour are. A great mix of 00s of all styles and some late 90s too, scott mills was in for nick son made it tolerable. I am not ready to be completely cut off from popular culture, and current moyles is not enough to lure me to globals tripe.

Agree, the Platinum Hour doesn't do it for me in the way the Golden Hour or Mills's One-der Years used to excite me. Chris tries his best to enthuse and some of the tracks are good but too many Dad Rock misses and dull 80s chuff unfortunately.

I do enjoy the Platinum hour usually, and it does seem like X give Chris a lot more freedom than R1 used to do for the Golden Hour. But then when I hear the Nickstape I enjoy that too - Grimmy also seems to have more freedom of genre/era than on the old GH too. Although is it only 30mins now? It used to be 60.
