    Wogan R2.

    However, if it's approaching to "on the hour", I shuffle briefly to R4 for their news bulletin, which I prefer.

    I used to listen to a lot of Classic FM, but I got fed up with their constant reminders that "This is Classic FM", etc. Drove me potty.

    Then again, depending on my mood, I'll fire up the Rammstein and have a blast to wake me up.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      LBC 97.3FM - Nick Ferrari although occasionally I'll listen to Clive Bull's podcast from the night before - quite amusing.

      Although LBC management have just procured Leninslime for an afternoon slot to "...comment on the issues facing London...". Big mistake.

      All he's going to do is to slag Boris off and spread his warped and bittered Trotskiest views. The phone-ins should be a laugh to hear - expect the swearbutton to be put into overridable by the callers - they already are furious that LBC have done this.

      Old Red Ken may be bitter, but he's not down.

      I wish someone would call in a priest to exorcise that lonely, wailing spectre that keeps haunting City Hall and finally put him to rest.
      If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

        Ermm, that's "Needles". Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces, trying to order breakfast - sheer genius!

        And to answer the OP, R4 in the car (no idea why though...) or Planet Rock on the DAB at home
        Blog? What blog...?

          Unless I've missed something he is not at all nasty.

          He's come up with a very clever, very funny format with some hilarious "off-script" moments that really are hilarious.

          I challenge you to listen for at least an hour for a couple of days and see if you change your mind.
          Really?

          He's all gob IMO and is, on numerous occasions, a total brat and bully to the other presenters on the show.

          Comedy Dave is the true star of the show.

          I can't listen for more than 10 minutes though.

              Chris Moyles is NOT the saviour of Radio 1. His 'up his own arse' school of broadcasting with his genuine lack of any real sense of humour, make the breakfast show unlistenable to anybody with some sort of a brain.
              He will never make it in television. He has already been 'found out' on the few appearances he has made.
              I will never forget his appearance on Buzzcocks when he was made to look a stupid, petulant school boy by Mark Lamarr. To be honest Mark didn't have to try very hard!
              How he has got to be presenting the Breakfast Show on Radio 1 is a mystery... but maybe it's because the RADIO 2 breakfast show has a larger listening audience.
              Whatever anyone does, don't give him a tv show. He had one once on Channel 5. He was so useless that half way through the run they took him off and replaced him!



              This guy is a turgid little bore who should have stayed on hospital radio. He's neither original or funny. The whole shock jock thing was done in the 1980s by people far wittier and well travelled. This guy like Chris Evans lives on a bubble, surrounded by sycophants who stroke his ever increasing ego. Like all bullies he can't stand to be bested. I remember Mark Lamar took the mick out of him on Buzzcocks, he had a big sulk, no witty replies, just a thick egotistical bully out of his depth. Thank god all his attempts to get into TV have been a dismal failure.


              Chris Moyles is up his own arse. He claims to be the saviour of Radio 1 and all he can do is appear on cheesy countdown programs such as "The 100 worst moments of 1982......." etc.

              How someone so in-articulate, offensive and generally unpleasant can be pushed into our lives day after day, week after week is unbelievable.

              There are better things than Fatty Moyles and vocally challenged Jonathan Woss that my licence fee could be spent on.

              Chris Moyles is nothing else but an overweight self obsessed D list celebrity and the sooner he disappears from public view the better.

              As a 33 year old male, I still feel too young to listen to the stale tones of Radio 2 (when will they change the daily predictable programs from Terry Wogan, Ken Bruce & Steve Wright???), but what choice do I have when the BBC inflict such dross in the form of Chris Moyles into my radio. Come on BBC - you can do better. I could.
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  I'd like to stab him, but unfortunately only gravy would come out

                      Radio 4 would be okay if it wasn't for the Archers.
