Oh dear, nothing about Moyles listeners going down but heres the main crux

BBC Radio 1 has seen its audience sink to an all-time low, with ratings sliding below 10 million for the first time in the station's history.
And Sara Cox's breakfast show has haemorrhaged 433,000 listeners over the three months to the end of June, suggesting the public's love affair with "ladette" culture is coming to an end.

Radio 1's latest figures mean that BBC Radio 4, with a total audience of 9.6 million, has come very close to overtaking the music station in popularity for the first time.

Two years ago Radio 1 came perilously close to crashing below the psychologically important 10 million mark when it sunk to a record low of 10.34 million but managed to arrest further decline.

Now the station's audience has fallen to 9.87 million despite a reshuffle of presenters and the arrival of new faces including 23-year old chart show host Wes Butters and the poaching of XFM's Zane Low.

Are these Rajar or GFX Media... Radio 1 has done well in them

Talksports lost a million listeners on GFX- they sacked more presenters too

[Adam]

how long have are we stuck with cox 7-10, uglybob?

[Aaron]

the best thing ive seen/heard of sara cox is on bo selecta when she was spitting all over craig david

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

its hardly suprising though is it? i mean i would imagine most people on here are around target audience an a lot of us think its sh*t. radio 1 is fast becoming a radio station trying to cater for everyone an actually catering for noone

The playlists need a big rethink, Elton John on the A list? My arse!

[Adam]

you need a big rethink on your sig as well

yes - uglybob mentioned that one in his review yesterday. whats wrong with it? its an alright song - the song thats being heard all over around club land

[Diffusionuk]

I've no objection to it being played on Radio 2 but does it really belong on Radio 1? Should it be playlisted just because a big name DJ says they like it or should it be playlisted on its own musical merit ? A case of the Emperors New Clothes? You can form your own opinion.

Oh, and at least my sig works!

[Adam]

i dont have an avatar but i can see my sig is working.

[Nablo.]

Elvis was played last year on Radio 1 because of he football so why can't elton John be played for a similar reason.

[Adam]

its being used for a few football adverts now you mention it.

its a great song - i dont understand why the should be any reason to not have it a-listed. people willl go and buy it when its realeased again. its a damn club tune..

[Mafro]

Sara Cox's breakfast show has haemorrhaged 433,000 listeners

And despite this, she is still getting to keep her job . Obviously Andy Parfitt has no idea how to run Radio 1 and what the listeners want, FIRE HER ASS AND REPLACE HER WITH SCOTT MILLS DAMMIT!!!

[Adam]

Looks like the people at the Chris Moyles show are taking the piss out this song by annoucing it as; this is heart 106.2 and this elton john.

[Uglybob]

the reason why Elvis was played was that it was a DANCE remix. The Elton song is supposed to be remixed but i have the original and there is hardly any difference.

[Mcqueen_]

It's not a remix, it's a re-release. I think it's good anyway.

[Uglybob]

no its an ashley somebody remix

[Mcqueen_]

I thought they were playing the original though. It has been re-released as the original with the ashley beadle 're-edit' aswell.

[Dickie]

Its good when Moyles plays Elton on Friday, quality!

[kendra k]

it's soooo painful though. what am i listening to? uk gold? it didn't sound remixed to me, sounded like disco scum.

where's the bling?

[Jonny Hoare]

ashley beedle....very good, the remix stuf he does for bent is [dj sammi]amazing[/dj sammi]

[Adam]

hey this dj hoare and when i come to england i always listen the uglybob show.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

djs are removing the characters from music an should be shot.

[David]

It's not a remix, it's a re-release. I think it's good anyway.

The audio is slightly different. It seems now a days, to qualify for a re-mix, all you have to do is put a bit of the old Sweeping Phaser on the start and your sorted.

[collin murray my arse]

everyone should stop taking the piss outta sara. next to moyles and mills she's my fav dj. Shes lots better than zoe ball was. it could be alot worse,have you seen the rumours about cat deely and dermot o'dreary presenting a celeb show on radio 1.That would be hell
