Evans has certainly grown up since he started on R2 and I prefer him to Steve Wright who is past it IMO. Wogan wasn't very funny every day but certainly funny as hell more often than not. King of the Innuendo (barring Chairman Humph of course!).

Mayo is dire dire drivel.

Which is why he was shoved off to Radio 5 Live. At least I hope he's still there.

Now I quite like Mayo, he does a good talkie show and I like talking wireless.

It's all about listeners and a 70+ year old Sir Terry still pulls in more on a regular occurrence than Moyles. That says a lot.

In terms of numbers, it says IIRC that Wogan was getting about 12% more listeners than Moyles does. However, the fact of the matter is that Wogans audience is typically the older generation.....the same older generation who listen to radio in general than their younger counterparts, particularly the Radio one demographic.
I'm unsure why you needed to embelish your post with the "70+" detail though. What does age have to do with it?

Mayo is going to present the R2 drivetime show. Fantastic.

Always enjoyed him on Radio 1 - which was the last time I listened to radio 1 for more than a few minutes. He's still going to work with Dr Kermode for 5Live.

Wogan was great - completely and wonderfully irreverent.
Can't stand Evans.
Can't stand Moyles.

So, back to using files from my server to wake me up then. ISIRTA and ISIHAC lined up for tomorrow.

The person or the R1/TFI Friday antics? If the latter, I'd suggest trying again. He's grown up some, apparently.

Actually, I retract my statement about Simon Mayo. Now I remember (it was a while ago) I did like him in his R1 days, but wasn't that impressed with what little of him I heard on 5live - but then I wasn't particularly keen on 5live anyway.

Him in general. He just pisses me off.
Have tried listening to him on R2 as it was on the radio at work... Rapidly went back to my mp3 player.

Well you're safe for this week anyway. Change doesn't happen until the New Year IIRC (Johnnie Walker is filling Wogan's slot this week).

I thought Simon Mayo was awful when he stood in for Chris Evans.
