To think Nick name drop Grimshaw's time is up on the Breakfast Show

[Inkanta]

I don't think he deserves the Radio 1 breakfast slot any more.

He's always tried, doesn't get enough sleep, seems bored of his job and is constantly name dropping his exclusive celebrity friends. I was rooting for him when he started, but I've had enough now.

Also, I can't listen to that flippin fan fare music at the beginning off every show. I'm driving when it comes on.

I admit to liking Chris Moyles. I also like Russell Brand and Jeremy Clarkson so update your spreadshits.

Oh god, Zoe Ball! She presented a live Eastenders thing the other night and was dire. Thing is I bet she's really, really nice but her presenting style has me grabbing the remote.

she's probably on here as well. Guilt.

I like Russell Brand. Going to sneak that on here instead of on the We Hate RB threads.

I like Zoe Ball on the Strictly spin off show. She hosted the Strictly Tour this year and I have to say she was brilliant at that. She does seem really nice.

Haven't heard her on the radio for ages though.

I quite like Grimmy & co actually. Wasn't sure I would when they first started but I do. I like the dissaproving producer & wayward DJ thing they have going on with Matt Fincham.

I'm 34 though so am often reminded that Iam ancient don't fit the demographic when they advertise things like Careers Week for 18-25's, and Anti-Bullying Week etc. so that's not great....

Yes yes to Greg James - it must be him next.

I absolutely hate Showbot.

I do think Radio One needs to stop aiming itself at school children and students and face up to the fact that it's listeners are 21-40.

I see the value of having a remit, but why actively try to discourage people who want to listen to your radio station, to attract people who don't?

I hated Moyles, thought he was arrogant and unfunny, Grimmy is faaar too much of a wannabe.

Scott Mills is a proper dj. Something which Radio 1 seem to have little understanding of, particularly judging by the terrible dj's at the weekend.

I didn't used to rate Greg James, but Rage Against the Answer Machine is brilliant.

Radio 2 has a massive identity crisis, some of it is great, other parts even my parents wouldn't listen too.

I do like Absolute Radio/'80's hugely, but I agree that they seem to have a definite idea of who their listener is (male trademan/builder) which is a bit annoying.

I begrudgingly prefer Chris Evans to Grimmy in the mornings as at least he is always chattering about something different. You can tell when Grimmy has been out late because he just spouts all the corporatePlugs for the teen awards or whatever. Chris Evans is targeted much older than me though, and i find him terribly smug.

I rate Greg James much more than Grimmy though i would miss him from my drive home if he were to be promoted. I love Nerd Alert and his naff jingles like The Mayor of Where.

I could watch this forever!

I'm well into Ken Bruce's demographic so my opinion is irrelevant but I still miss Sarah Cox, it was like having a proper mate chatting over breakfast and her voice is fab. Chris Moyles had that John Humphrys effect of sounding like he thinks everyone else in the universe is an arse - really off-putting.

I'm never quite sure what they are looking for with the R1 breakfast show but agree that the whole radio system is probably at a crossroads.

I never understood why they gave Nick Grimshaw that job. I would have thought Greg James would have been much better. I loved the Chris Moyles show. Possibly more for the rest of the team than Moyles himself; I think he did get a bit too big for his boots.

I listen to Shaun Keaveny on R6 now.

I think the dullest R1 DJ is Matt Edmonson.

I don't mind Fearne. I did love Sarah Cox when she covered the show during Fearne's maternity leave though.

I'm not sure Scott Mills is what I want at breakfast actually. I love him in the afternoon though.

I am 'too old' to be considered as Radio 1's target demographic. I must be well and truly elderly at 36

I commute for 3hrs daily and spend most of my time switching between Radio 1, 2 and 4.

In all honesty, I don't like Nick Grimshaw's show. I have tried to like it and he has got better, but it's still not good. I think he believes his own celebrity hype and most of his show makes for uncomfortable listening. His features are even worse than his presenting style!

I love Scott Mills and he has an excellent rapport with Chris Stark. They covered for Nick Grimshaw on Friday and had Ant and Dec as guests; I spent most of my commute in tears of laughter - it was bloody brilliant.

I love Greg James too. His features are great - rage against the machine, nerd alert and 10 minute takeover are fab. He's also had on some excellent guests - Sir David Attenborough was just brilliant.

I cannot stand Fearne Cotton. I just dislike her show with a passion and she gives me the rage. For some reason the execs in the BBC do not agree but I will live in hope that they see the light one day...

When it comes to Radio 2, I like Chris Evans' show, but his music is far too cheesy. I enjoy Jeremy Vine too, but again the music... When it comes to their shows I will happily listen to their chat and invariably turn over when the music begins.

Sara Cox is fantastic on Radio 2. She has covered for Ken Bruce in the past and I love her witty chat and personal anecdotes.

I think the BBC needs a good kick up its proverbial arse. The need to stop chasing demographics that simply aren't there and concentrate on pleasing the audiences they do have. They do not target the 25-45yr age range with any of their main stations and I think they're spectacularly missing out by not doing so.

Nick Grimshaw is the epitome of the Emporer's New Clothes. Just because Radio 1 keep telling us he's cool, edgy, hilariously funny, northern cheeky chappie, it doesn't mean it's so or that we actually buy it.

If he didn't have Kate Moss and Harry Styles in his phone, he wouldn't have got the job anyway. He (quite cleverly to be fair) made it his mission to ramp up his celeb contacts over the years and that's what he has based his career on. But the house of cards will tumble sooner rather than later because he's not very good bless him.

As others have said there's hardly a glut of good radio presenters and DJs around - I wonder why that is?

Pretty much all of radio 1 are signed to the same "talent" agency that signed dapper laughed (before he had any followers) then did their best to make him look like a self made person.

Anyway nick is kinda quick with funny responses so I do listen to the podcast, but I'm all about the today show I'n the morning.

How much is he paid? Moyles was on 600k a year. Hope nick is on less than and third of that.

I think we'll shortly be seeing Scott Mills exiting Radio 1. I'm not certain but he must be pushing 40. He'll go to weekends and then disappear I suspect in the way they shunted Sara Cox (who I adore) off when they realised she was turning 40.

You could hear the sadness in Greg James' voice the day they announced Grimmy as the breakfast show host. He would have been an excellent choice but I suspect he'll stick around on Drive then move to the 1-4 slot when Scott Mills is vaporised. He won't get breakfast now, unless they do a major admittance than attempting to appeal to te youngsters is not going to work.

They need to up their female quota too so expect to hear more from Clara thingy on the chart show covering for hols. And the girl from Derby who has been in for Fearne recently is pretty good. The best of the new bunch is the Northern Irish guy - Phil Taggert? Very natural. I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing them shift to multimedia broadcast soon either, employing the likes of Zoella and co.

I was pleased to see Annie Mac has got the Zane Lowe slot although I'm sad to see him go.

I never think that Scott mills comes across as well outside of the radio, eg. On tv programmes etc. He seems a lot more comfortable on the radio and is much funnier, he's just not that funny elsewhere.

Matt Edmonson is a bit of an annoying dick, but he has some very funny moments on his show.

I think Radio 1 should just stop trying to appeal to the yoof and embrace their older audience!

Scott Mills will be 41 soon so he hasn't been pushed out at 40. I agree with pp - he is very good on the radio.

Scott just does his job very well and seems like a nice chap. I agree he wasn't great on the only TV programme I saw him on, about homophobic laws in Uganda, but I thought some of what he did on the programme was quite brave.

Bring back moyles!

In fact considering that moyles was dropped as they wanted to appeal to a younger audience, that seems to have backfired

I teach secondary and we used to talk about Chris moyles and have a chat about the show, now non if the, listen to radio 1. They all listen to local radio instead.
