Grimmy@R1 - it was grim!
Just listened to Chris Moyles's replacement.... god it was a dull as dishwater....
Not a single laugh or smile all the way to work... Crikey if this was the opening show with everything thrown at it, it doesn't bode well:( And he's a complete mincer! |
Should've listened to R2 - the lovely Zoe Ball doing a great job as always. :thumb:

Moyles will always be a hard act to follow imo, he made for some great morning laughs on the way in to work, really set the tone for the day!
Listening to the new show this am just didn cut it! I know its still early days yet but..................................an that start your day effort lol |
Had to turn it off, quite liked the old format of lots of talking and not much music
|
Ive now switched off and listerning to my local station...Grimmey followed by Fearn Cotton has killed Radio 1 for me.
|
What I said on pistonheads:
Mr. Grimshaw was not very good. Not terrible, just struggling. There is a reason why most breakfast shows have sidekicks, he is going to run out of material (if you can call it that) very quickly with 3.5 hours each morning. Someone on here said he'd be the 'sacrificial' person and I think that may be true, so give him a little while and then Greg James will take over. |

Really boring, turned it off
|
I wouldn`t listen to his afternoon show, and I'm DEFFO not going to listen to his morning show. He is CRAP.
But he must be good at something to these "executives" but doubt we'll ever know what that is/was. I find Scott Mills Tedious mind you, having a large segment dedicated to innuendo bingo, (if you have no idea its where people shower each other with water form their mouth) it may work on TV where you can see it, but on radio it plainly doesn't work. Worst thing they did was get rid of Moyles, the only reason his ratings dipped was that they said months in advance he was going (or the rumour started). |
I listened very briefly , I think he has an impossible task.
iMHO the only worthwhile replacement was Scott. It also made me laugh how they are throwing all the celebraties behind the "team grimmy" thing - it's as though they realise he needs all the help he can get. I ended up turning over and listening to R4 and a bit of nick clegg! |
It's Scott mills that does innuendo bingo....
|
chrismoyles.net are replaying his entire shows (without music) live stream or downloadable podcast, after listening to Grimmy its a better way to start the day, even if its a re-run from 2004

sorry but she stuffed up todays show time and time again, she was like a fish out of water.
All adds to the fun. |
i'm gutted chris has gone 15 years of listening to him, guess i must be too old for radio 1 now too (36)
|
The BBC trust have said that the breakfast show is to be aimed at 15-28 year olds and the average listener age of the moyles show was mid 30's hence they moved him on. How many of the people abovew that said they switched off are over 28? If you are then the BBC have done what they intended.
Chris Moyles is still under contract to the BBC for another 18 months or so. Do you think he will appear on radio 2 like all the other DJ's that have been moved on? I'm 35 and find myself listening to more radio 2 than radio 1 so they must be doing something right |
The only place for Moyles on R2 would be to replace the old has-been-stuck-in-the-80's Steve Wright.
He's appallingly bad now, only slightly worse than Moyles. |

We're just not his target audience anymore!
I listened in on the way to work as usual. One Direction interview followed Justin Bieber. More suited to 14 year olds than mid 20's. Shocking! |
What’s happened to Moyle’s lackeys and @rse reaming tonguers, are they still there or has the replacement got his own lackies and @rse reaming tonguers?
|
How do they work out how many people are listening?
|
straw polls and fiddle factors
|
They find five people who admitted to listening to it, then extrapolate that to five million.
(and I'm only half joking:eek:) |
They ask people on stupid street.
|
So - is anyone going to give it another listen this morning?
|
I did on the way to work - still not sure.
|
I listened to some of it. He was interviewing Louis Smith. The guy is not Mr. Excitement but Moyles had a laugh with him when he did it a couple of months ago. Grimshaw was just ..... dull.
And I think that is it. Nick Grimshaw is not actually a bad DJ, but he just doesn't have the right personality it seems. I am off to start a campaign to get Christian O'Connell sacked and replaced with Chris Moyles ... |
Maybe he's trying to hard?
I will listen a few more times and see if the show gets any better, then its R2 I suppose. The local stations for me are shyte to be perfectly honest. |
All times are GMT +1. The time now is 01:38 AM. |
