hehe yeh it is a crap programme!

he'll get his knuckles wraped by big boss andy

[Aled]

Unfortunately, and I feel it has to be said, Aled is an employee of the BBC and he aint allowed to take part in anything that preports itself to be a slagging of another co-worker. So Aled will not reply to views expressed by the vast majority of the members on here that think that Sara Cox is bad for Radio 1.

I am allowed to, I just don't want to. But as it happens, I don't agree with your comments about Coxy. I really like her, we get on very well and I like her humour. The only negativity I hear about her is that she can be too much for the mornings, if that is the case she'll do a great job in the afternoons.

BTW (I know this is a strange thing to say on here but...) I think you're underestimating just how damn good Moyles is. There's been a lot of negativity about him going to morning's on here. It seems to centre around the fact that you don't believe he can do the things you like in the afternoon (long links, chat etc) when he moves to Brekfast. But surely, that's a wierd argument, saying "please don't change because we like everything as it is" who's to say he won't be better on mornings?

There are a few on here who have been Moyles fans since Early Brek - who loved him then, and who now love him even more on afternoons. The change in style didn't put them off. 6 million listen in the afternoon, 10 million listen to Brek, he's going to get a brand new bigger audience (and I believe) he'll also pull over a percentage of his afternoon audience to Brekkie. A Radio 1 Breakfast show needs to be event radio. Coxy did it when she took over, and now I think, you'll get a Breakfast Show in Moyles to rival some of the past greats.

So come on you guys stop the negative selfishness of "I like him how he is now" and get behind him. Here's is a top class Presenter with (hopefully) a top class team behind him ("Hello!") who are going to have some great resources at their disposal now that he's got the Brekkie gig (which until v recently has been the biggest gig in Radio). How exactly can you not be excited by that!?!? (the question's rhetorical!)

You will love some of the features we're already throwing around, you'll love the fact that your favourite DJ is now rightly on one of the biggest show in the UK and you'll love the fact that he and the team are going to have SO much new energy with this new show that you'll here a brand new side to him.

(p.s. if your only complaint is that you can't hear him in the afternoon maybe we should try and get the show downloadable so you can hear it whenever you want to!)

That is my only complaint, and if you could do that I would love you forever.

[Mk.]

Hmmm, I think a bit of reclarification may be in order. Moyles is great, and him moving to Breakfast is great for him, great for the public, and great for Radio 1. The only problem I have (and I'm guessing most other people on here) is that the daily culture of getting the Radio on at 3 o'clock until 5:45 because you don't want to miss any Moyles won't be possible anymore. There's no way I can listen 7 until 10 everyday, and I'd imagine most people are the same. But from what you've said Aled, breakfast is sounding very exciting. And if this happens:

(p.s. if your only complaint is that you can't hear him in the afternoon maybe we should try and get the show downloadable so you can hear it whenever you want to!)

It will be the best thing ever.

[MK Chris]

I think Aled's right, it is selfishness. Purely from a selfish point of view, it's good for me, as I will be able to hear as much, if not more than I could before. Just hope he doesn't end up like Mark and Lard did on Breakfast.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

y'see i agree with all aled said. for once me an stevotrash are the voices of sanity. who would have thought eh?

[Sidders]

I've said all along that Moyles will be great on breakfast, just that I won't be able to hear it.

[Bridgie]

its good to hear a nice long rant from aled! maybe you should join in the rants on air too

i think coxy is great and i've always loved her show. i'm just annoyed now that moyles and johnny vaughan are moving to the same time slot!!!!!!!!

do you think it would be worth bombarding the relevant inbox about recording moyles breakie show to listen back to?

[Adam]

worth a try.

although mailto:[email protected] is a good person to also email and ask...

[a_girl_from_mars]

I don't think that people don't support Moyles, it's just that the show will have to become so much more formatted, as Aled said he will have 10 million listeners to please now. He will have to stick to the rules more.

No, I'll do it internally. It would be better.

Since when did Moyles do his radio show to please anyone? Is this a different person?

He knows radio inside out he will provide what he thinks is best for that show and I know he'll still want to do a show that HE enjoys doing. That's not going to change just because he's got a different time slot.

I never said anything about Moyles trying to please anyone. I said the show would have to become more formatted, as like you say the breakfast show is the biggest show, with regular competitions, listner input, and news every 15 mins for the first hour.

[Uglybob]

every 15 minutes theres a news bulletin which hinders him somewhat.
i dont know why Chris isnt on the listen again system on Radio 1 online. If Ross can be on the Radio 2, why cant Moyles. Also preferbly without the music so its shorter.

Agreed. However, you can't deny Aled there will be certain things that Chris won't be able to get away with on breakfast that he might do on afternoons. Any bad swearing, chat about loverly knockers on page 3, big boozing sessions, sex etc etc will be clamped down on at breakfast time when there will be parents driving kids to school, whereas on afternoons it is less likely to happen...

so in some ways he'll have to change his style for breakfast (although we obviously don't want him to) or he won't be there for long...

[Aaron]

He wont have to cut out the talk about sex, booze etc as Coxy talks about that on breakfast at the moment, he just wont be able to say it as much detail as in the afternoon show.

Don't parents drive their children home from school just after 3?

[Matt]

I didn't think kids started school until they were 4?

[Sidders]

Ha, you're so funny.

[Matt]

My thread so I can tell crap jokes if I want

[MC]

I see your point Sidla but more people listen to breakfast than afternoon radio (granted at radio 1 thesedays not by much) so there is more chance of Chris getting in trouble for such things on the breakfast show...

[MK Chris]

What is the difference? I don't know listening figures (10 million for breakfast someone said) - whatever it is, say if you have six million in the afternoons and 10 million on Breakfast - there will be hardly any difference in the per centage of people listening that complain, at the end of the day all sorts of people listen to Chris Moyles and that includes complainers, whether it's for afternoons or Breakfast.

Also, some people (I know at least a couple) know what both Coxy and Moyles' shows are like and switch off when they take their kids to school. These are some of the best known DJs on the radio and they have reputations. People know what and whom they deem appropriate.

I would imagine the number of complaints would drop 40%.

That's 3 in 1 day...

[MK Chris]

Yeah, but what I'm saying is you must need to look at it in proportion - if you have (slightly exaggerated example) 10 people listening (pretend it's Coxy again) and two of them complain, if you had the same feature with 20 people listening then you would have an average of four people complaining. So it's still 20% of listeners complaining.
