HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAH

PAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAH

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

That is all.

(By the way, if people are confused as to why I've just rolled around pissing myself laughing, its because when SunTalk launched around April/May last year, they did so by promoting it whilst at the same time hammering Radio 1, Moyles and in particular Aled, referring to him as a 'TEA BOY!!'. All I'm saying is, look who's just closed, and look at whats still going strong!)

take control

Oh is that the same Gordon Smart who claims never to have lied in a story... he'll probably call this a runaway success so much that they couldn't cope with the demand.

EDIT: More on this story;

My view on the subject. Regardless of context, the terminology used etc if Talksport deem the way their presenter spoke to a guest as inappropriate then they should have the right to dismiss him. I do agree with what Gaunt says about Radio being too tightly regulated, and that audiences should have the choice between the impartial BBC and the view provoking commercial sector. However, there is I feel a need for some regulation.

Best news I've heard all week! Serves 'Gaunty' right for the crap and lies he spread about The Chris Moyles Show before.

I read the other week that Jon Gaunt was in a spot of bother about something he said on air, I think it was something a bit racist and he wasn't allowed to appeal against the complaints he got? Im not sure, Ihave a poor memory. I'll try and find the article online.

P.S WHEYYY SUNTALK! UNLUCKAAYY!

It wasn't racist, he called a councillor a 'Nazi Pig' on air

He hasn't sued Talksport he's appealed against the ofcom ruling. Although I don't like him I agree with you radio is too tightly regulated and I agree with what Gaunt said to Richard Bacon on 5live that it would be better for radio to be regulated by the law of the land than a stupid out of touch regulator. The swearing thing is ridiculous, some of the stuff said on commercial radio is 50x more offensive than swearing in a reasonably non-offensive way.

I also wish BBC would stop scaring off talent, especially comedians, by forcing them to dumb down when they appear on the beeb, we need outspoken people and those who are prepared to push the boundaries.

IMO anything that doesn't incide hatred or violence or break UK law should be allowed on the basis that you can switch off if you don't like it.

Moyles has managed fine on a reputation of being outspoken, even if it's not always a reputation lived up to.

All they're scaring off is idiotic ****s whose idea of 'Comedy' is to deliberately insult or offend someone (i.e Jack-Sparrow-Wannabe Russell Brand).

Managed in the sense that he's still on the radio but he's been forced to apologise a few times. I agree with you about Brand, but what about people like Frankie Boyle? bar the one thing he said about Adlington, I think most of his stuff is harmless...

This is true. After the post I thought about Frankie Boyle's sort-of self-exile from Mock the Week/The BBC at large, though they did get complaints about that I thought he was the one who decided to leave/take a break because he was sick of that kind of reaction to almost anything he said? (could be wrong, but that's the impression I got)

Yes I think it was him who made the decision but it was because of what happened and the reactions he got, as you say.

    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name.
