Looks like Radio X have caved in and decided to front Vaughan into the breakfast slot whilst Moyles is on holiday even though Vernon will still be doing mid-morning.

No Moyles branding during cover? Probably not. Can see why they're doing a special podcast subscriber podcast for the week break.

What do mean by Caved in?
Do you mean the Moyles Production Team asking for cover or that the Moyles Prod Team have not been allowed make individual arrangements?

History says when CM is away, they use CM Show imaging shoehorned with the cover presenter (happened with Vernon). Guess that was a CM request to continue the show branding. I think I meant CM Team have had to cave in if Vaughan doesn't adopt the CM show imaging etc.

It's all a guess, but the special podcast they're doing for next week is the bridge content for the CM Show brand until they get back. Not great TBH.

Ahh right thanks for clarification I am assuming most of radio x recognise the month off arrangements weren't terribly successful as too drawn out - it worked well at xmas though I thought with the recorded shows but not so in august - bit too much

[Tunster]

Irony is, the listener figures for the station went up; the show lost 36,000 nationally whilst adding 9,000 in London. Not catastrophic considering the 4 week break.

[Harry Briggs]

Not actually Tunster, it's the other way round!!

'Radio X UK has increased to 1.265m to 1.189m, whilst London drops from 442,000 to 378,000
Chris Moyles has lost 36,000 listeners in London whilst adding 9,000 nationally'

Chris' defence this morning of Vaughan covering the show was...interesting. He sounds like he's trying to convince us that there's no beef, but isn't so convinced himself. Who knows though! I won't be listening - regardless of any past or present rivalry, Vaughan's whole voice and persona just irritates me on some deep level. Back to Grimmy for me.

I will continue listening in order - got to 18th November 2009!

Fun story, I ended up in a pub in Liverpool with Johnny and Gav after their OB they did.

Gav said that the only reason their was beef between them was because of the network rivalry at the time, and that they are completely fine now, and both really want Chris to succeed because if breakfast does well chances are the rest of the station can too.

I think Vaughn is fantastic personally. About time he was given the chance to do Breakfast again.
I have a feeling people only dislike him because Moyles told them to and hasn't really given his show a chance.

JV has grown on me a lot. Didn't like him the begin with because he sounded like an old "Geeza" trying to sound younger. Once you get past that he's a decent listen.

Exactly this. The more you listen, the more you realise that thats just part of his shtick.

How is it that you only come here to post about him though?

Johnny...is that you?!

[ritchie]

Vaughn is awesome - before Moyles I woke up to him on the big breakfast; great presenter connects well with the audience and in my opinion, the perfect replacement for CM.

How anyone could revert to the midless drivel of Grimmy over JV is beyond me.

Quick Question - been wondering this for weeks
How does it work with the Dom Letters feature with money coming in for the team xmas drinks under ofcom rules, surprised this is allowed ... or am i missing something?

[Trigger]

Vaughn is awesome.

Right ok let me just tell you to back up your Vaughny horse for one moment.

On a good day Vaughn would be worthy of BRONZE - if he was lucky. And I agree about Grimmo - He wouldn't even make it to the podium.

I only listen to GOLD hence my membership of this site, everything else is to listen to when washing up and trying to decipher the * bilge. (If I was from the south I am sure I would enjoy him far more)

just listening to an old show,

"Bumped in to Denise Welch - she says her sons in a band. Maybe they'll be radio one material one day."

On another note was there a Moyles Saturday show this morning?

I could have done without quite so much Trump chat yesterday but I have to say the Elephant towel thing was quite funny, it reminded me of Comedy Dave's crap games (as it was crap but funny). I had a quick look at the video and I like Dave's camp side too

Cookie Monster was good. Played Sesame Street theme tune which sounded a bit like OFAH to me. Puppets are great, the world is too grown up, stick one in the white house and no-one would tell the difference right now.

[Randomisation20]

The cooker monster was famously traditionally voiced by Frank Oz I assume he wasn't in the studio? Haven't listened to that show yet ended up listening to yesterday's first wierdly

Nah, it's mostly been a bloke called David Rudman since the early 2000s. If you're a Sesame St expert (which I am) you can tell the difference in their voices, but it's subtle.

Cookie was also on Greg James on R1 that afternoon and I'll be honest, I enjoyed that interview more. He got a kid on the phone live and it was kinda cute, warmed my old dead heart a little.

A Shame all those characters and the muppets are no longer over seen by Jim Hensons organisation

Chris keeps saying Trump is the President. No, he isn't. He's the President Elect. Obama is still the President. Trump will be inaugurated in January 2017.

I wish Dominic would correct him.
