No Sony For Breakfast


James R

Recommended Posts

Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans, who will present the awards at London's Grosvenor House Hotel next month, is among the nominees for the breakfast show of the year prize.

But there was no nomination in this category for Radio 1's Nick Grimshaw, whose first and only consideration comes for best use of multiplatform.

1. I did not create the topic, so don't appear to have a "headline".

2. What kind of "award" is that?? It is like the equivalent of an award for putting clothes together for daleks, only to discover you are about to be exterminated.

Anyone with half a brain cell knows Grimshaw is only in the job because of his "celeb" mates. And the current "celeb" culture.

All hail, Moyles - missed and loved every day.

1. I know you didn't create the topic but you attempted to create a headline saying "moyles will be gleefully clapping his hands" how would you know?

2. *is it, also what are you one about, the Sony radio awards are the industry accepted radio awards just like the oscars for for film and the BAFTAS for British television.

3. Not true, Ben cooper put him in the job to lower e average age of listener, he believes in grimshaw because he is genuinely passionate about NEW music, he has good humor and is an excellent interviewer whether it be an a-lister or just a listener who has phoned in.

4. Hardly anyone hails moyles, they enjoyed (notice past tense) him but never hailed him.

5. Actually 15-29, massive exaggeration on your behalf.

Peace out....

Well I'm glad to see that Sony have (for the time being anyway) had the brains not to give breakfast anything.

As much as I miss Moyles and the team, I accept they're gone now and that things move on even though the show still had a couple years life left in it yet. The problem time and time again comes down to his successor being someone who is unfit to have a show of that level. I absolutely cannot bear Grimshaw and frankly the fact that he walks the planet is saddening. He, and Radio 1 just come across as a bit fake to me now. The name dropping and obsession with the current big thing is ridiculous, particularly when you consider it will no doubt be replaced by some equally talentless or pointless creatures once their 15 minutes of fame is up.

Most people seem to think this breakfast issue is all about getting Moyles back, but many don't take notice of the fact that is it manly a problem a lot of us have with Grimshaw and what he represents.

The part about the show still having a couple of years left I think is matter of opinion... However personally I feel that it had reached the end and it was lucky it had lasted until now, there was a point around 2008 when I feel that Scott could have definitely taken over the show.

I accept that you cannot stand the man however wishing he didn't exist is a massive exaggeration and genuinely unfair.

Also how much of his show have you actually listened to? Just wandering because that's not really what he does?

Out of interest, who did you want to succeed Moyles?

With Grimmy I do like The Waking Up Song and the beds he uses however not a fan of Showbot. I've listened to quite a few shows, not the whole way through as usually on the way to work but when it's the team talking I enjoy it. Have to turn off at Showbot though and listen to Thingymijig on Key 103 :)

I don't think its unfair to say I wish Grimshaw's existence wasn't something we had to put up with, out of curiosity how can you describe my feelings on someone as being a "massive exaggeration"?

I'd have liked to have had Greg or Scott as his successor. People who are fit to host a major show on one the biggest stations in the UK, not someone from this self appointed cool and faddish crowd we seem to have been lumbered with. I wasn't keen on Matt Edmonson to begin with either but I have managed to develop a tolerance of him mainly due to the fact I think there is an element of parody with his show, I'd even have been able to get used to that, but I'm sorry Grimshaw is not someone I am willing to endure on anything whether it be tv or radio.

To no. 1: It is the kind of thing I would do !!

To no. 2: Sony clearly knew NOT to put Grimmy up for any brekkie awards. Moyles would NEVER have been put up for multi-platform. He was a legendary broadcaster with energy and genius. I know Coxy says he has moved on, but he really had no choice?!?!

To no. 3: Grimshaw may be passionate about new music, but the show is still aimed at a certain "culture" within that target range. The cool types with all the right clothes and hairdos.

To no. 4: I hailed Moyles.

To no. 5: massive exaggeration..... yup !! But a lot of the 20+ people appeared to have cleared off.

One final thing: NOTE the specific lack of articles posted on here about Grimshaw. Newspaper/magazine articles. He has the top Show, yet does anyone really want to discuss him on here???

No. Not really.

I would go as far as to question the number of brain cells of people who actually love Grimshaw with a passion?! ? But then, that is what it's all about - empty headed culture !!

I just think its a bit far to wish for somene to be dead, although if that's your opinion fine...

Viv: fair enough! On the lack of magazine articles, not really true, the discussions on this forum that is because it is a Scott mills forum, he is mainly discussed on a thing called tumblr (I don't know much about it) but just search grimmy, nickstape, team bc, breakfast show and lots comes up on him and the show... Also twitter, admittedly not as much as Moyles.

Harkinson: sadly this is very true, I've seen a lot of "it's not the same!"

Also would have to agree with previous page, think grimmy is a great listen, but showbot is really crap, genuinely think it's a rubbish feature, fins ham, you're better than this!!

Fair enough. For all I have said, I may give him yet another try *sighs* - it is so damn hard getting over Moyles, even months on. Evans doesn't do it for me either, tbh *sighs* R1 just left their listeners in a mess.

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • 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.
