Happy day, now maybe some music on Radio 1 .

(No I don't have a DAB in my car so I can't get Radio 6)

Hopefully the sycophantic co-hosts will also do the decent thing and ps off to.

Dontlike the look of anyone else on the station that might replace him though, scott mills too old, Greg james too annoying, Nick grimshaw like a female fearne cotton.

Music won't change, replacement will be younger n 'hip' no doubt be interesting to see the numbers.

Surely anyone over 22 has been too old for R1 for a long time now.

Looking at the other thread (opps) more people seemed to be bothered about a DJs banter, rather than the records he plays.

Well looks like I'll be sticking with my local pirates.

Need a car with DAB.

Agree with the above - I need DAB back in my car too.

On the basis that he is currently known as 'Comedy Dave' I presume his 'side-kick' will with similar irony be known as 'Employed Dave' in the future?

I guess you won't be happy that Nick Grimshaw got the job then?

Personally I don't mind Moyles, apart from the car park catchphrase bit. Strictly speaking I should be well past listening to Radio 1 being born the same year as the MGB GT wink but I prefer it to 'death by Radio 2'. I drive over the South with work, so no point tuning into a local station (and my one seems worse than Radio 2 anyway). A customer had a DAB radio where I was working last week and they seemed to play quite a bit of decent music (think it might have been 6 music), but haven't got a DAB in my car either.

I'm not big on Grimshaw myself, so maybe it's time I found something else to listen to on a morning...

he certainly isn't everyones cup of tea, but i liked moyles alot.
thought the breakfast show, and the team did a spot on job. on the whole i don't like the music radio 1 plays of a daytime, but thought the breakfast show was spot on.
you either loved or hated moyles and his team, after whiley left a while back moyles and co were the best thing on, (in my opinion of course.)

luckily i mainly work nights, so listen to a mix of either absolute, or radio 2, i like janice long and alex lester. think the best thing on the radio at the mo, is simon mayos show on radio 2.

I enjoyed his Radio 1 show, I like him a lot and will be sad to see him go. Didn't think much of a lot of the music he played but the banter was good.
