New Radio 1 lineup

Del Lardo · 16-07-2009, 11:38

bye bye Jo Whiley, I won't miss you. Maybe I can start to enjoy mornings more though it won't be by much as I don't think Fearne Cotton is much better.

Looking forward to Greg James though, listened to him quite a bit on early breakfast. A bit like Scott Mills but not an annoying ****.

BBC Radio 1 Controller Andy Parfitt said of the changes: "BBC Radio 1 must continue to change to connect with a new generation of audiences and this is a significant move, promoting three of our up and coming broadcasters into the heart of the schedule."

They've decided Edith Bowman and Jo Whiley are too old now then?

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.

Hmm I quite liked Jo Whiley, seemed to be one of the few DJs left who was there for the music. Especially disappointed the Live Lounge is going to weekends, as I never listen to radio then. Still I quite like Fearne and Greg James has got to be better than Edith.

Fear not

The Live Lounge, which has been a hugely successful part of Jo's show, will continue in Fearne's new programme.

Is that **** Moyles not getting the boot? Shame, what a wasted opportunity.

I always found Jo a bit over the top 'Ooooh Goosebumps!' all the time, etc. She is massively into music though, where as Ferne is a loveable chav slag. Always thought she was quite a hottie, but I don't know if she's got what it takes to do such a big show.

Not a great fan of Greg James or that other newish chap that sounds like he's just got out of bed with an annoying voice.

Hopefully Ferne moving will mean that boring Cod-eyed coon Reggie will sod off as well. He hates every piece of music unless it's by a black artist or is rap. He bores me to tears and I have to endure his dribble every time I wash my car.

This - Fearne Cotton annoys the crap out of me, something about her, lol

Jo at least played music rather than boring everyone with rubbish chat

Quite like Moyles, it's just a shame he isn't allowed a free rein and is constantly getting bollocked for speaking his mind. Agreed sometimes the material on his show is a bit bland, but he can be rather funny, especially with guests. You can't deny his listening figures.

Thank **** Zelda from Terrahawks is going.

I like Edith though.

Chris Moyles is a **** but I do love Comedy Dave and Aled and the rest of the team as I think they make the show.
