Ben Cooper is on 5Live talking about this to Richard Bacon right now.
Very telling that in answer to "So Chris didn't actually want to leave?" was "It was a conversation between myself a Chris..." alongside mention of BBC Trust directives.
-
Maybe there will also be more change as a result of the new BBC Director General?
-
You make entire cases of resorting to personal insults... I asked a serious question and even pointed out the lack of sarcasm. Just saying. Go back to your new lows in jokes.
I have just had a slightly different thought on Moyles, I'd rather see him leave a station that is being forced to not want him anymore on top of his game in a way than have him fade away in the knowledge he'll be leaving soon but uncertain as to exactly when. That kind of uncertainty could lead to a dip in form, and I'd rather hear him go out with a bang.
-
I can't help but remember a comment, I think from an interview with Ben Cooper (? Could be wrong) about Greg James 'being groomed for the Breakfast Show'. This makes me wonder if Grimmy is only intended as a short-term replacement. If that IS the case, I hope he gets decent ratings to make it difficult to justify taking him back out of the slot.
-
If you were radio 1's controller (god help us) what would you have done? Keeping in mind the constant pressure to reduce the average listeners age, etc. I'd be interested to know.
I'd also like the hear the great masterplan (not sarcasm, or at least not nearly as much as it could have been).
Sure, if you like new music Radio 1 is a decent place to hear it.There are also much better outlets to hear it than Radio1, to be fair.
-
(And hopefully the 'Laura Whitmore to get breakfast' threads will end)
I wouldn't bet on that :hahaha:
-
You resort to that because you are incapable of actual debate. You're like the UM version of Louise Mensch (you'd probably like her, actually).
Yes it's cool to try things, so those who think that way will surely be giving Grimmy a shot at least? End of Moyles' time had to come. Also, who says the only choice is R1 or R2? You HAVE to listen to radio to exist? As you told someone else needlessly in another thread: Get a life.
-
Yeah because there are NO alternatives other than that...
-
I can think of a million things (positive to say about Chris).... As to you... if you were leaving, I could find nothing.
and there you go making more insults instead of accepting the fact that even with all the kind comments and signs in the world, the result would be the same. If you could actually try to prove me wrong on this with, yunno, facts and statistics (maybe even a case where such petitions HAVE worked? Just a thought), I'd be more willing to listen, but as usual, you can't/won't, so my opinion stands.
-
I'm sure they won't lose any sleep over losing listeners that only listen to like 2 maybe 3 shows and are out of the age range. Also those of us outside the age range and listening are probably VERY small numbers to them.
-
Not negativity, it's REALISM, A concept you are alien to. Call it cynicism, but it's cynicism that has history and form in being absolutely correct.
-
I think I've only really heard Grimmy covering for Greg and doing festival interviews, but he was pretty good. Don't know if I will end up listening, but I doubt it.
-
Not going to make a Damn bit of difference. Infact, do these petitions EVER work?
-
I don't even want to THINK about that... too horrific even for me.
-
Viv may I remind you that the driver is the one in charge? You might not want to accept this, but the job is stressful, particularly when it involves city center driving and we are only human. We are allowed to have off days and sometimes.
I think Viv thinks only HER job can ever be stressful...
-
They don't OWN it, but they ARE in charge of it. If you don't like it, find another mode of transport.
-
Wish it was Greg James leaving... the talentless scumbag...
Predictable comment of the day goes to... WE GET THAT YOU HATE GREG FFS, we don't need to hear about it every bloody post.
Christ. Get a life. You could hear it on the radio even if you were out.and when this gets a perfectly reasonable reply:
This isn't about you.Err Viv, you MADE it about someone else with your needless insults.
Back on topic:
I don't think any petition will make a damn bit of difference.
Moyles has had a brilliant record-breaking run regardless. I can't see Grimmy achieving anything like the following, but I suppose it's better than some of the other utter failures of DJs (even ones that have screwed up Breakfast before) that were rumoured to be in line for taking over Moyles, however I will agree with an earlier point that this DOES kinda make sense and there are SOME similarities to Moyles.
I will be sad to see Moyles go, also Moyles still has a few years of contract left so where does HE go from here?
-
Racist to Irish people, if you don't mind.
Err no it's not racist at all...
-
Yeh, pick on the new person and make them feel v welcome.

i have just woken up to a video of behind the scenes with madonna, and i am as high as a kite. 'the dna of mdna'... Viewable now on www.youtube.com
and the second part of that after the * is relevant to this thread how? Just as we talk about a spammer, you pop up. No coincidence there.
Also we put up with a lot of repetitive posts before it was brought up so it's not like they weren't given a chance to show they're NOT spamming or trolling. I don't expect you to understand that though seeing as your definitions of both words are so far away from the ACTUAL meanings it's not funny.
-
Just heard some really loud explosions. I thought a bomb was going off or the petrol station near me was going up... now why would I hear such things, I hear you ask?
Well on this occasion, it was a FIREWORKS DISPLAY... On a weeknight, not even a f***ing Bank Holiday, and at TEN THIRTY AT NIGHT, and in a city centre.
I mean really, what the actual flying f***???? Who thought THAT was a good idea? Some of us need to be up at 5am and this has now disrupted my attempts to get a little shut-eye.
-
Want to come to The Lounge and talk about The Inbetweeners instead?
Not a chance. and what Rosie said.
-
Err you realise Ellie and Greg have NOTHING to do with each other anymore, right?
and agreed Ryd, this IS spamming now. No more borderline.
-
The problem is NOT, I repeat (as it's apparently necessary) NOT to do with MTV people going over to R1, and NOBODY has stated this to be a problem.
-
I actually had to google her as I had no clue who she was.
The borderline (possibly) spamming on here has had the opposite to the desired effect on me, I now don't CARE and have no desire to know any more about her. STRIKE!

Ben Cooper has just said that on 5Live, he's offering him a new show, but will not say where he's going.
