as Jo and Edith did their last weekday shows?

No-me neither
Might shed a tear for Chris Gioldfingers last show tonight though

I liked Bye Jo though, I thought that was great.

No I didn't shed a tear. David Mitchell was great when he appeared on Edith's last show though. He got bonus points for managing to say 'literary masturbation' on daytime radio.

I've downloaded Tongy's last 6PM shows, Jo's Last Live Lounge Show, Edith's Last Afternoon Show & Greg James' last week on Early Mornings, just incase anyone wants them (I know Munki is after Jo's last show but I believe he's away at the mo and wants it for the Coldplay concert more than anything else). I also have Colin Murray's last show, if anyone's still after it.

I'm also going to try to get Wogan's last show or last week, seeing as Foots is a fan and may want them.

No, glad Edith has buggered off, with Greg James in her place I can come back and listen to early afternoons after 5 years when I'm on lunch.

YES I DID !
Just to make it clear I love the CM show and have listened since the very 1st show, the whole team are magnificent and I look forward to every show. My problem is the outcome of the last shows, ie fearne taking over !
I wish I had a better understanding of the English language to find the word/words to describe her annoying voice and style of broadcasting. With Dev in front of the moyles show and fearne straight after AM is now a mess! The radio at work no longer plays radio one because nobody can stand her .This means I miss the show, that’s why I shed a tear, but I rather miss a show than have to suffer fearn, yes its that serious.

Your post suggests your first language is not English (though I may be reading that wrong), yet you appear to have a far better grasp of it than many British people, including some on here.

Just go on listen again then pillock.

English is my first language (born and bread ! ) I simply haven’t got the linguistic skills to find the words to express how much I (and many others) can’t stand the DJ’s before and after the CM show. At work we have always had 1 radio station on in the morning and another in the afternoon, I know I can use ‘listen again’ and I will but its such a shame my normal morning routine no longer will include chris.
The CM show is so different from the normal ‘crap’ on most stations and it makes me wonder what direction radio one is taking with such appalling DJ’s before and after his show, do they class him / the others as similar ? his team is in a different class completely in my opinion and shouldn’t be surrounded by such inferior audio drivel.

I don't think Radio 1 bosses class Chris as "crap" at all, Chris has been with the station since Autumn 1997 & I believe is (and I hope I word this correctly now) the longest serving regular, weekday, presenter on Radio 1, by that I mean doing a regular Monday-Friday show, in fact from 1998-2001 he did six days a week.

The "problem" BBC bosses (who I imagine rank above Andy Parfitt & Ben Cooper as neither of them are particularly "yoof" themselves) is that you get some overpaid, moronic idiots up the top going "ooh look we're doing well in the ratings but the DJ's are ancient, I know I'm 63 and near retirement but these DJ's aren't far behind. We need more "yoof" DJ's to get back the kids".

The truth is that Radio 1, in East London at least, hasn't been the choice for most kids for over 10 years anyway. Most of them, when I finished school in 1999, were listening to either Choice, Kiss 100 or a local pirate station. I mentioned I listened to either Radio 1 or Capital FM (when it was good) and they used to laugh at me. This was when Chris, Sara & Scott were all in their 20's so even then they didn't think it "cool" enough.

Truth is Radio 1 for "Da Yoof" is now 1Xtra these days & considering the current & successive governments want all FM/AM/LW Radio transferred over to DAB within the next five years, then i don't really see the BBC big wigs big push for keeping Radio 1 as a youth station when 1Xtra already does that.

Nope.

I did cry on that day, but it was nothing to do with anything on radio 1, I just had PMT.
