There are a few bands that I would understand this happening to, however devoting an hour to Pink??

I must admit I think its strange. I like Pink, but it seems incongruous at the very least.

Just remembered that I played pool with a satanist last night. Really should go out on a Friday more often.

Had a good night last night. We lost the pub quiz but had my hair plaited by a viking.

I don't think breakfast is the time to devote an hour to any one artist. It seems to me that that's what evening programming and/or more 'specialist' stations are for. I heard most of the fawning interview (no change there to be fair) and switched off when the actual gig started.

I listened to the gig in the office. It was good stuff, but I agree it would be more suited to the evening. They wouldn't have to worry much about censorship then either.

It is a bit strange, didn't they do this with Take That earlier this year as well?

Chris Moyles devotes an hour of his show to play live highlights from a show of an artist that Chris Moyles really likes.

Seriously, this seems strange?

Apart from "because the Radio 1 bosses said you had to" I can't really. Not that I think that's a bad reason, we all have to do what our bosses tell us don't we?! But I thought when it was announced that it might not be the best way to spend a big chunk of the programme, and to be honest I think I was right, it just felt like a long advert for Pink (who I like, but even so). I thought it might be a bit boring, and I think it was really.

I'm sure there was a "good" reason though Al, so what was it?

Pink is target audience for Radio 1, rival stations don't tend to do similar things so it's a bit "unique", Pink has tour dates next year to promote, the team went to the show last night also.

Or maybe there was a lack of material for the show? (joke)

I like Pink and she doesn't get a whole amount of exposure like Take That etc. Am I even close with these reasons?

Another guess, is it because Piers loves Pink...?

I'd be interested to know how many regular listeners switched off, as I did. There's no way to measure that really tho. I'm sure there is a reason for it, but it doesn't change the fact that I don't like having to turn off Moyles - I felt cheated of an hour of the show. Oh well, let's just hope it doesn't become a regular occurence.

I just switched over for the whole final hour. Boring interview, no interest in hearing the gig. Don't you love BBC corporate bosses pushing things on their employees?

I enjoy the interviews when Pink's on the show, but I don't like her music - I know lots of people do, so it's not a complaint.

I'm not sure of the reasons it was done either? I just assumed it was to acknowledge her tour.

Is it more subtle than that, or have I missed a big news / entertainment story?

I'd have personally preferred David Grohl to have been back in the studio for a couple of hours or an hour of a Foo Fighters gig

Maybe because it was Access All Areas? So Pink was in and we were 'accessing' her tour.

That's all I got!

That crossed my mind while I was brushing my teeth this morning (I put a lot of thought into making posts you see).

Maybe they all had to leave early and the hour of the tour was a convenient cover?

I know, it's because it's a better option than 1 hour devoted to Chris Brown. I mean, which would you rather have?
