To be upset I didn't find out about this until today

Chris Moyles is back on breakfast radio - on X?? Was XFM.
I know loads of people on here don't like him but I used to love him and his team in the morning.
If I can ever find out the station number (been googling but my company seem to block radio stuff) I shall be tuning in (my car does not have digital) and I shall hope and pray for McFriday!!!
Welcome back Chris - I have missed you.

104.9 & 97.7

Digital

Not my personal cup of tea but radio is radio.

Enjoy Smile

Marvellous - thanks for that.

Ugh.

Yay, turning a decent radio station into a sexist pile of shit! Woohoo!

It's broadcasting in mono now, too. I guess they spent all the money on Moyles.

wowfudge · 22/09/2015 14:09

They're welcome to him. He's the reason I gave up on Radio 1. And never went back.

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 22/09/2015 14:15

is that you Chris?

Oh no - how did you guess!? Grin
It's also the reason I gave up Radio 1 - when Chris left and they put that pillock on instead. Grim indeed!

Its not in MW only is it? Real shame for all the Manchester team, they were fab.

HesSpartacus · 22/09/2015 14:42

Moyles, Vernon (fucking) Kay and Johnny (fucking) Vaughn?

If Satan had to design a radio station to play in one of the circles of my personal hell, he'd have hit the spot with that.

I love Vernon as well - so he's on X as well then?
When?

RedToothBrush · 22/09/2015 14:47

Well my response is merely

Biscuit

Is this another PR attempt to win back female listeners alienated by the sexist marketing?

HesSpartacus · 22/09/2015 14:51

Hellsbells - mid morning. You can have him (please take him away).

Fairygodfucker · 22/09/2015 14:57

yabvvu

Moyles is shit. Vernon is shit. I'm going to guess that you love Vaughan too as you may or may not have connections to globals marketing dept but he is shit too.

Radio X is shadow of what Xfm was.

CalliopeTorres · 22/09/2015 15:00

I'm with you OP, I love Moyles and was so happy to tune in yesterday and today. I think Moyles was very clear yesterday when he said that the whole aimed at blokes thing should never have made its way off the ideas board. Anyway, I don't care because I think he's ace and I'm pleased he's back on air!

BumWad · 22/09/2015 15:02

I will be tuning into him too! Nick Grimshaw killed the breakfast show on Radio 1.

HesSpartacus · 22/09/2015 15:10

Grimshaw is on a loop in another of my circles of hell. I'll be listening to LBC and laughing at Nick Ferrari's madness. Given up on music in the morning.

And yes - I may like LBC but Global have killed XfM. Nearly 20 years of listening to it and now it's gone :(

Felyne · 22/09/2015 15:12

I might be wrong but I think Radio X only started on Monday, so you're not that late to the party!

HisBowtieIsReallyACamera · 22/09/2015 15:16

Anyone from Oldham and remember when 96.2 The Revolution was a great radio station with brilliant DJs and music...

6Music is the station for me Smile

TheGonnagle · 22/09/2015 15:16

Radio 6, people. Radio 6. All else is shite.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 22/09/2015 15:25

RedToothBrush agree!

Skiptonlass · 22/09/2015 15:25

6 music all the way ...

Or radio 4 :)

Cockbollocks · 22/09/2015 15:28

Clearly a minority, I liked Moyles and I like Grimmy.

I also miss Fearne Cotton.

Awaits flaming.

Sparklingbrook · 22/09/2015 15:29

Yay!! I haven't listened yet. i was so sad when he left R1 and was replaced by NG who is just terrible.

Who has CM got with him? please say Dom is back. Smile

I think Fearne Cotton was ok. But my heart belongs to Greg James as far as R1 is concerned now.
