Chris Moyles is very very angry...

[mj2004]

there is of course eFestivals Radio where you don't have to listen to any annoying twats, or hear adverts, or even that many shit tunes (taste dependant of course).

why is vernon kay et al being bandied about? whats wrong with having non-star names presenting radio shows?

let commercail TV/Radio pay the big money salaries, the BBC should be about finding new talent.

[ampersand]

and The Sun is the most popular paper becuase it's doing such a great job?

[ampersand]

I was responding to your implication that he only ranted for a minute or so

[t8yman]

they are finding new talent. most of whom are pish from what i've heard. radio 1 are not going to sack chris moyles and have an unknown do breakfast. don't be silly. someone will be promoted from within and the new talent will take one of the free slots after reshuffling.

yeah, that'll be why i said 15-20 minutes wasn't light hearted. your 6 and a half minutes falls into the 10-15 minute bracket i left out...

If I had done two months work and haven't been paid for it I would be moaning to anyone that would listen....

[mj2004]

whats silly about it? The BBC shouldnt be about ratings - yes its nice that they get them, but why the obsession?

Most presenters are pish when they start out. Look at most of the "nations favourites" most of them were shite when they started. Belive it or not, I wasnt always an internet genius - even I started out with some proper shite posts, most of them are pure internet gold now.

and I like this

Fair enough if you need your wages to live on.

Is the same true for someone earning nearly £10k a week, every week?

Someone with half a brain would realise his privileged position, and that many of those he's ranting to barely get that sort of return for a whole year's work.

It's not like he's deserving of sympathy because of financial hardship.

My issue with radio 1 in general is that almost all shows are more focused on the presenter than what they are actually presenting. Here's an off the wall idea, let's try making the music the star of a music station. Similarly Radio 5 is unlistenable to in the mornings (IMO) as Nicky Campbell views his own opinions as much more important than those of the people they are interviewing. So much of the BBC's output has become obsessed with presentation. As license fee payers, I think we have the right to expect the content of the programming that we're all paying for to be the most important thing. At the moment it isn't.

As for Moyles, personally I can't stand him, but know others love him. Fair enough.

If I pay a fee that is to ensure the quality of a public broadcast service, I don't expect some talentless f**kwit to occupy the early hours of the day moaning about his personal financial woes that are pathetically small on the scale of human suffering.

If I was him, regardless of how much I earn't, I simply wouldn't be turning up for work if I wasn't being paid for it...

I don't think just because he earns more than us its ok for him not to be paid and he shouldn't whinge....

[dakyras]

exactly. if the same happened to me, am i not allowed to moan cos theres thousands of part time workers only making a few grand a year?

[oafc0000]

, instead of crying like a baby in public.

[ampersand]

Yes, you are perfectly entitled to moan. But you are not entitled to take up public broadcast airtime to vent your personal employment issues. You have a private meeting with your employer, instead of crying like a baby in public.

do you moan about balamory and cash in the attic as well? or are you infact just jumping on a bandwagon. your licence fee pays for what you take and enjoy from the bbc.

Moyles' format hasn't changed since he first started Breakfast. The same features, the same links, the same things being said. Yawn. He's stale as 5 month old bread. Although this is from the radio station that thinks Fearne Cotton is a suitable DJ

What you don't do is moan about it to all your customers.
