Am I the only one not enjoying Nick Grimshaw on Radio 6

It feels too Radio 1, maybe a bit Radio 2 - the songs are too pop and he is bloody annoying - it's just me isn't it? - Where should I go for a better breakfast radio experience - better tunes?

I love Huw! 😊

I'm sure Nick G is a lovely chap but he's not for me and it's not improved. He talks too much and he's just not my cup of tea.

He’s an idiot, but Radio 6 have to attract younger listenership to survive!

Really as my go to radio station, guru gosh and life skills teacher, the ratings are small in terms of ratings (the only thing that’s important guys and gals. Radio 2 is the most listened to staton. Radio and blah in perfect harmony), he’s a thorn in everyone’s side to keep the accountants away. Just don’t listen to him, simple. I haven’t listened to a word of the inane drivel that jacket potato Prosecco, gravy and chips Grimmy wimmy woo wah cardboard, Pepsi and Shirley has said. Just ignore him. It’s only for stats. I baulked when they semi axed the intelligentsia of M.Riley, just accept the pain. Easy, just ignore him, he’s not there for you, he’s there to attract short attention span Radio 1 listeners.

Ironically however I’m on the internet writing this. Lol sad face.

I miss her too. I guess the answer is to listen to her on a day's delay during the breakfast show time.....
