I used to listen to Grag James on early breakfast every day on the way to work, but since he moved on and Dev took over I gave up early R1. Dev is unlistenable, in my opinion.

Nick Grimshaw is gay apparently.


I don't care if he's gay, straight or triangular to be honest, I was commenting on his broadcast-persona, not his lifestyle.

I don't get Dev. I've never listed to his whole show, since it starts at 4, but I get up at 6, like a lot of people do. His peak must be between 6-6.30 so it would make sense for him to have the best content in that half hour, and yet he plays loads of music and not the kinda music I want to wake up to. The other day he had heavy metal :?. The reason I like Chris' first link is that it's really easy to wake up to. Dev is an alright DJ when I've listened to him in other slots, but he should be more appropriate for his time-slot.

*rant over*

I only ever hear the last ten minutes of his show anyway, and I do have to admit that he isn't anywhere near as awful as he was when he first started.

Woop woop, we've got three! :D I stopped listening to Greg after he moved, I don't really like Playlist music all too much - he was a laugh on earlies though.

Woah, woah there missy - you really are clutching at straws if you think "not as awful as he was" constitutes fandom!

I dont mind Dev really...... Wouldn't say he's a good DJ, but still listenable. I'm one of those 6am alarm crew people he talks about....

As for the Original Topic and Zane Lowe.... No thanks! I'd rather have Mills!

He seemed to play slightly too many foo fighter's songs though but then again there's nothing wrong with that. And you never get Green Day - Welcome to Paradise on the breakfast show normally

I think Sara might be enjoying a well earned rest from a fairly alcoholic Christmas and New Year, if her Twitter feed is anything to go by.

I think its something they just like to do anyway to let daytime listeners hear all the new music
