Radio 2 is far better and local radio generally better again imo. But then I listen to MOS radio mostly.

I love Sara Cox. Her show is like a girls night in or coffee with a mate - which is exactly why a lot of men don't like her show!

Love Sara Cox. Hated her when the was doing the whole ladette thing but now she's mellowed she's very natural and funny.

I don't listen to radio very often and when I do, it's usually Radio 2.
I do, however, heartily agree with the quoted comment. I can't stand the guy and if I so much as hear his voice, I'll switch off within 5 seconds.

Why are reshuffling?!

Jo Whiley is one of the biggest people in music at Radio 1 - and although I don't love her show - replacing her with Cotton is not a good sign. She only appeals to the age range that will be busy in school during her new time slot.

Why have they recently got rid of Colin Murray?! Possibly my favourite R1 show that took me through the late nights of uni study.

If they get rid of Daniel P Carter and/or Rob Da Bank next there will be hell to pay!!!

HELLL!!!!!!

I don't mind Sara Cox. She tends to babble a bit but every now and again she says something funny and always manages to get a rapport with her phone in listeners.

Fearne is some kind of intelligence vacuum though. I can almost feel my IQ dropping from just hearing the sound of her voice. I just walk around pointing at random objects saying things like 'Grass! I'm lovin' THAT!'.
Frankly she should bugger off to T4.

Along with VERNON I'M LOUD AND FROM BOLTON AND I LIKE GOLF AND THESE ARE THE SUM TOTAL OF THINGS THAT I HAVE TO SAY KAYE.
Frankly you could replace him with a parrot.

Used to really enjoy Edith Bowman on long drives, but I've not listened to Radio 1 in a year or two now so guess I can't complain.

Edith does my head in. She jumps on trends about 6 months after they were popular and her idea of a good radio show is having people text in random garbage because she's unable to maintain attention through conversation.

And Jo Whiley is a joke. She just puts about 20 new bands on in a day in the hope one sticks and she can claim 'she discovered them', of course, this is after Zane Lowe discovered them already... She's a bit of a tool.

This is a good point, it does seem that way. What I find amusing is that I don't know anyone around my age who actually likes these presenters, yet they all love people like Terry Wogan who is not only more current with discussions, but funny and has a wit that these young presenters could never grasp.
