Next Radio 1 boss

[E*F*4L]

Yes, could we have a few more under 30s please?

i don't listen to R2, because its for old people & i'm not old !

[BerlinAde]

It WAS for old people but I think Chris Evans will make it more contemporary although much "safer" than his R1 breakfast show which broke so many taboos and boundaries before he crawled up his own arse.

Who can forget the lollipop songs, the sprouts joke or the Bjork interview (and the Mayo handovers)?

[Jono]

Even the first record is causing controversy. Something old or something new?

Does anyone know what Chris Moyles' first breakfast song was? I want to say it was the same as Blackburn played but I also want to say something current.

It was the same as Tony Blackburn, Flowers in the Rain, which was followed by U2 and Beautiful Day.

[E*F*4L]

oh god not U2 !

Evans is getting over-hyped now & if Wogan’s TOGs “Terry’s Old Geezers or Gals” oh dear don't like it they should fuck off !

the first track played should be either;

Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name Of

or

Oasis - Whatever

i think it will be something like Pulp - Disco 2000 or anything by Texas or Queen.

That's the problem.

[E*F*4L]

That's the problem.

well the Beeb bosses don't give a f*** about how the R1 listeners think/feel so why should they care about what the R2 listeners think/feel, oh yes i forgot that a lot of the R2 listeners are Daily Fail readers so to appease the daily fail reading nazis they will have to, erm polite way of saying it "bend over backwards".

i just hope that Evans will be back to his old self, shame though it won't happen, the media didn't like Evans when he first started because he was just a normal regular guy who had done shitty jobs before he was on the radio & he wasn't seen as one of the boys, until they realized that because of where he came from that he could engage the listeners because he was one of them & he cut against the grain.

anything ! one wish i could have & it would be to own the BBC, then i would show them, they would get both barrels & not know what had hit them !

Get some anger management issues, you sounds like an unwitty Malcolm Tucker.

[Jono]

"He's about as much fucking use as a marzipan dildo."

[E*F*4L]

i'm not trying to sound like anyone :|

why else would they be bringing back Moira Stuart to read the news? it's only to try & keep the TOG's happy, i can see yet another daily fail campaign to get rid of Evans.

the only reason they have put Evans on R2 breakfast is to try & get the older Moyle's listeners (who remember when Evans was cool) to move to R2, its a simple as that, it wouldn't surprise me if they then replaced Moyles with Jedward

Jugalug just lives in a permanent world of despondency. The day he makes a happy post, I fear the moon will turn to grass and blow up. :-)

Oh shush Viv. If you accuse me of one mood posting and complain, you obviously haven't read Alan's.

[Viv]

But it's not just the one... You're permanently rolling around, posting smart remarks.

[Jono]

I'm sensing jealousy from Viv.

[Viv]

I'm not jealous, but he doesn't often have anything nice to say!! It's a shame..

[Jugalug]

Why is it a shame? If Alan posts something stupid which seems to be every post about Radio 2, I'm going to say. I'm not going to kid myself that it's some spectacular observation, because it's not.

[E*F*4L]

Oh shush Viv. If you accuse me of one mood posting and complain, you obviously haven't read Alan's.

i do post both positive & negative comments.

the fact is that my posts about Evans & R2 breakfast show cannot be far from the actual truth.

for sometime now it has been said that the listeners of R1 Moyles show in particular are to old so when Wogan announces he is to step down, Hmmm who could we replace him with :eek: i know how about Evans the listeners of Moyles grew up listening to Evans & watching him on TV when UK music had a bit of a renaissance with Britpop, so lets kill two birds with one stone, put Evans on R2 Breakfast so that Moyles's older listeners will tune in & then when the listeners drop away for Moyles & become younger it will be easier for us to drop Moyles & find a younger dj to take the show over thus alienating the remaining older listeners & basically forcing them to move to R2, over at R2 to try & keep the peace with the daily fail crowd & the TOG's they have brought in Stewart to read the news & have some banter between herself & Evans.

people say that i don't post constructive comments or that they are negative, but a least i actually post a response & not just moan about what other people have said, everyone knew that i meant to type Tim & not Tom (Westwood) when i said that he shouldn't go into the BB house, so instead of commenting on weather Tim should go into the house or not it descended into Oooo look Alan has pressed the wrong key on his keyboard lets take the piss instead of contributing to the actual thread debate.

How do you know that? You don't, once again you're assuming, probably wrongly.

Forward slash having-a-bit-of-a-laugh. Sorry if you wanted to get back to the intense discussion of BBC politics that we normally do, but I think occasionally it's okay to be light-hearted.

[Viv]

You're a shining star, EF4L!! People go nuts over nothing on message boards!!

[Viv]

Or offering an opinion... which is what Boards are for. EF4L does often get unfairly targetted, I feel. None of us always get things right.

[E*F*4L]

no i don't know what the BBC bosses think, but if i was in charge (what i have written above) is what i would do in their position.

i cite three fact or factoids if you prefer;

the issue of listeners of R1 are getting to old that has been discussed here on UM,

Evans was listened to by Moyles's listeners, i am one of them,

Evans was at his height when Britpop made the UK music scene cool, & his viewers/listeners at the time when he had the R1 show & TFI Friday are in the 25-35+ range which is to old for R1 & R2 want to get on board.

what better way to try & get the older listeners of Moyles's show to tune into R2 than get the dj (Evans) who was at his height (& best) when Britpop ruled the world, when the now older listeners used to worship Evans with his two fingers up attitude.

[Jono]

People go nuts over nothing on message boards!!

That's my favourite quote for quite a while.

[Jugalug]

Or offering an opinion...

Well no, Viv, as when I read it it definitely seemed to be Alan guessing what the Big Big Cheeses thought.

[The Stig]

it descended into Oooo look Alan has pressed the wrong key on his keyboard lets take the piss instead of contributing to the actual thread debate.

I know it was great fun. Just for the record both Alan and Viv in my opinion post just as much crap as each other, so safe in that knowledge everyone can now resume getting on with each other

[Jugalug]

Everyone can now resume getting on with each other

I think that's probably best. I know Viv doesn't like my posting style as I don't like hers (Viv, don't post some rubbish about how we love each other really, we're not in a Disney film) - let's just carry on as normal.
