You know if you'd actually looked, they're 22... :rolleyes:

I only listen if I'm driving when he's on but don't go out my way to listen. I usually hear dev until about 6 or its the end of Fearne and beginning of the 10pm slot

I listen to the breakfast show. I like Grimmy and his show, one thing that is better then Moyles is the music mix. Grimmy is light on the ears and relaxed but sometime I lost interest when his gose into corporate mode. Looking forward to see where he take the show next, less corporate plugs and more random feature I got a idea it is called Car Park Catchphrase. ;)

That BBC switch thing that took over from Dance Anthems on Sunday nights a few years ago was also a bag of wank, it's come to a point where it's debatable if anyone listens to Radio 1 anymore after the chart show.

on the grid.

Have listened to 1 whole show, and 2 halves. Whilst I'm aware that Radio 1 wish to appeal to youngsters, I wasn't aware it was to those that still attend primary school.

I don't dislike Grimey [sic], he's ok in small doses, but I'm at a loss as to how he can be expected to carry off 3 and a half hours a day, at breakfast after the reign of Moyles.

His show, and his onair attitude is juvenile. I've noticed his sad attempts at cheap publicity on Twitter (via others, don't follow him), ie. gatecrashing Johnathan Ross's 'top party in town' Halloween event and banning Robbie Williams music from his show. This is just the sort of attention grabbing behaviour that Moyles used to ridicule.

My mornings are a mixture of Radio 4 and Radio 6 Music now, as befits my age. I know my place, and I'm much happier elsewhere.

Personally, I dont think its juvinile, its just aimed at the 15-29 age group, a lot more then Chris Moyles was, hense why he lost so many listeners. Don't get me wrong I liked Chris Moyles, but his talk was in no way suited to youth radio.

He did actually explain the whole halloween fiasco, and I think it got a bit blown out of a proportion. He was told by his invited friend that he was allowed to come, so I dont think he "deiberately gatecrashed" as everyone is insituating. He was just mislead!

But also, with regards to "banning Robbie Williams", that is completely ridiculous. It is not his decision, it is that of the music team and playlist meeting who decide what to playlist for the shows. And they decided Candy was not appropriate for Radio 1. And he did actually play it on Monday, so saying that he personally has banned Robbie Williams is a silly statement.

I'm not trying to convert you to listen to his show, as it really isnt for everyone, but I just think the statements you made about him were pretty outlandish!

I agree with all the above.

I listen to Grimmy and I think he's very good. I still thinks he should edge towards a zoo format a bit more and chat to Fincham, Ian, Fiona & LMC a little more. I also think he's very good when he's discussing the menial things that happen in life e.g. his new dog. The guests largely depend on who they are even if he's trying hard a rubbish guest makes for a boring interview. There also seems to be a tendency to go completely overboard with whatever corporate crap they have to talk about. Teen Awards, James Bond, Twilight...

I love Grimmy to the max and Scott and Matt even more so, but yeah, I haven't listened to R1 properly for a year or so now. . .

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

    • Did you note down everyone who was on Sunday and at what times? I managed to get: Charlie H 11-1, Oré 11-1, Dean 11-1:30, James 11-1:30 Greg 1-3, Vicky 1-3, Danni 1-3:30, Matt 1-4, Jamie 1-4, Charlie T 3-4:30 Lauren L, Sam, Nat and Swarzy all joined from 3:30 but didn’t manage to listen back in time to know what happened after this.

    • Glastonbury - 29th June Update 9pm-12am is Jodie Bryant from Glastonbury with Olivia Rodrigo's set live. 
    • Lauren Layfield and Conor Knight are doing the 1pm-4pm slot on the 11th July. 
    • No chance Zoe will cover breakfast. Would be a surprise to see her covering any weekday show tbh.
    • Err no I very much doubt Zoe will be covering breakfast anytime soon. Mark, Sara and OJ seem to be enough choices for cover plus any bank holiday one off specials 
    • Talking on this - I wonder who Scott's main cover will be, we have had OJ Sara and Mark in for him now since he took over? curve "ball" would Zoe become the cover now she's established back on weeeknds? or do you think they are easing Sara back into it ready for a two week holiday in Summer? Sara was the main cover for Evans's tenure and got dropped when Zoe took over for Fearne then Nikki and Gaby they seem to have moved away from this "outsider" coming in to cover and especially now not Gaby or Nikki as they have other gigs 
    • It's a good package but sung by the House Gospel Chior so they can always resing a bit of it I wonder if it will get a refresh for 2026? Zoe's seeemed to be refreshed every year although in her tenure stayed as the same theme and of course he will have Christmas versions
