Who is replacing Chris E on R2 then?

[LauraIngallsWilder]

Please dont tell me its simon mayo

I know many of you cant bear Chris but Simon is worse surely????????????

I rather like Chris but not in the mornings when I am half asleep!

It's Simon Mayo.

Richard Bacon is taking over Mayo's slot on Five.

Unquietdad - noooooooooooooooooooo

I am going to have to retune my digital radio!

I cant bear simon mayo

or Aled Jones

I did love Graham Norton when he did steve Wrights show recently though!

I love Stuart Maconie. More when he's on his own than in his show with Marc Radcliff(e?). Two or more northern voices at a time just sounds like a conversation at a pub I'm not welcome in. Not that I wouldn't like to be in that pub, I just mean it's a subconscious turn-off for me.

Simon doesn't bother me..at least he doesn't try and make all his radio side kicks into 'personalities' like Evans does

love Simon Mayo and am devastated that he is moving to Radio 2

and I HATE Richard Bacon

so no-one is happy

"I did love Graham Norton when he did steve Wrights show recently though!"

Oh so did I, Laura - he is absolutely perfect & so funny (did you hear the one where he called his dogs? )

simon mayo is dreadful. I prefer chris to wogan.

I like Aled Jones. I just can't stand the smug sanctimonious tossers he gets on as guests.

I like Chris on the radio now I have to say.......but can't imagine him replacing Terry in the morning it is going to be very odd.

Graham Norton was brilliant, I agree

OTOH, Simon Mayo............y.a.w.n.

shocked at all you Mayo haters

perhaps he appeals to the older listener

It's a shame he won't be bringing back Dead or Alive, that cryptic record clue thing, Confessions, the Missionary Position and the Golden Hour.

simon mayo so so so tedious
and yes Graham Norton was fab

I just want to add that having said that 'I hate' simon and aled - Im sure they are lovely really!

But I cant bear listening to them on the radio!

I heart Graham - I loved his TV theme tune spot

I am going to have to switch radio show at tea time
Although I like Chris in the evening Im not sure whether Ill appreciate his morning show..... we will see!

Ooh yes UnquietDad - the Identikit. I used to love Simon Mayo in the mornings on Radio 1 - was gutted when he left. I have to say I'm so glad that Terry Wogan is going.

I can't believe people don't like Simon Mayo - his radio 5 show was brilliant - interesting, thoughtful, intelligent - everything you want from a magazine show. And he was well informed and self effacing - not like the ignorant opinionated peacock that is Richard Bacon.

not that I feel at all strongly about this, you understand...........

Simon Mayo is great - intelligent, interesting, funny - without the need for constant zaniness which starts to grate on me after a while (step forward Mr Evans!)

Don't get me started on that twerp Richard Bacon though....

Richard Bacon is an abomination

I thought I'd hate Evans in the evening ended up loving him

Steve Wright winds me up now

Generally I hate hate hate Graham Norton but loved him on the radio
Love Mark Radcliffe also

All in all I have no idea it seems but it's a no brainer between R2 or Fearne the voice of Grotbags Cotton or Chris Moyles

I love Simon Mayo and Richard Bacon!!

All you SM refuseniks, try PM on R4 at 5pm - generally presented by the delightful Eddie Mair - you get interesting news & a few good laughs as well (& he is a brilliant interviewer who never lets anyone wriggle off the hook however hard they try)
