absolutely


Although I think the talent has known for a while and is already off (Jon Richardson a particular case in point for me)


It's been coming this decision but still hacks me off - for the price of Moyle's lunch, a whole station playing the stuff that people normally had to wait until 8pm for


bah humbug

I know there's been talk but foolishly hoped it wouldnt happen.


Didn't I hear him last Sunday morning? Or is he due to disappear? Was odd hearing him on fighting talk on 5live


This station costs around 6 mill a year from what I understand... doesnt Wossy leaving cover that and then some?


Moyles ... urgh!

although it did have George Lamb. It wasn't perfect by any means


But it was(is) still head and shoulders above any other music station. If I could listen to the likes of Guy Garvey, Tom Robinson, Mark Radcliffe somewhere else I would so so - but I can't so the once thing the BBC does well (and cheaply) is now gone

I'd be interested to know if the daytime music policy is as it always was and not been dumbed down- for want of a better phrase. I know that there are a few ex- Radio 1 DJs on the station. I only ever tend to listen in the evenings or on a sunday, and that is as it always has been.

Radio 1 always had a handful of decent shows- but generally at indecent times.


I catch the end of Steve Lamacq sometimes before Mark Riley's show, and he still thinks he's doing the evening session from Radio 1- it's devoid of anything remotely interesting. But, if it means the station survives long-term then so be it.


I find that if you don't listen before 7pm, except on Sundays, then you can't go wrong. Although, i've always had a weakness for Lauren Laverne, but have never really listened to her show.


I find that listening to Marc Riley, Tom Robinson, Gideon Coe, Tom Ravenscroft, Stuart Maconie's Freakzone, Cerys Matthews, Jarvis Cocker (is he still on?), Huey Morgan (most of the time), Craig Charles, Iggy (but I think he's gone now) is guaranteed to enhance your life.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
