I have listened maybe 3 times, when travelling in a car and needing traffic news on. From what I can gather he was very popular on Radio 1 but as he is now in his late 60s he moved across to Radio 2. He's 50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His show isnt aimed at me, but radio 2 seems to have this obsession with 35-45 year old females, kitchen disco and prosecco soundtracked by 90s and early 2000s dance music. Yeah, he replaced Steve Wright last year - Mills is only in his early 50's though. Radio 2 has been shite for ages now imo - more so since they lost/replaced some decent presenters last year Like you say, when you have now.. Zoe Ball, Vernon Kay, Scott Mills, Sara Cox, Jo Wyley all on radio two, - Radio 2 now feels like Radio 1 again from 20 odd years ago - but sounds much worse now. It's just really shit.

Mrs Sidcow and I have an unwritten agreement. It's Radio 2 till midday which allows her her dose of Radio 2 which I suffer but we can both do the pop quiz. But at 12.00 when Jeremy Vine rears his hateful head it's a quick switch to Absolute Radio, so I'd no idea Moyles was on there.

Moyles isn't on there either and hasn't been at the BBC for well over 10 years. Maybe start doing some Google research first on the presenters of Radio 1 & 2 and Radio X. It might help your vastly outdated memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd got even the tiniest interest in BBC Radio presenters I might do some research but as it happens I'm perfectly happy with my ignorance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our household him appearing on the radio elicits the same response as the opening bars of the Eastenders music. A mad rush to change channels as soon as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer Greatest Hits Radio nowadays or Smooth Chill, They're much easier on the ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just really shit. This is what Radio 2 has always been, right back to the 70s. R1 chases the teen and twenties demographic, R2 the middle aged listeners. Periodically, the R1 DJs get pensioned off to R2, playing the same music they were before, and a new younger lot move in. Started with Tony Blackburn, Terry Wogan, David Hamilton, DLT, Johnnie Walker, etc. and continues to this day. I guess the slightly more hip ones go to R6 (John Peel had the sense to go to R4 and do talk stuff). BBC doesn't bother beyond that age group, so when the DJs and their listeners get into their 60s they have to go to a commercial channel like Boom Radio or Greatest Hits. None of which bothers me, as I hate and avoid pretty much all radio. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumping Riley and Coe into a joint late slot cutting down their respective hours from 5 to 2 is shiocking. Tom Ravenscroft is an irritant and that new music fix show is awful. the 9-10 slot is hit and miss giving it over to an artist for 4 shows of self indulgence (its still often better than the previous 2 hours) Lamaq is leaving and being replaced by Huw Stevens, that is probably the first replacement they've made in recent years that doesn't piss me off And whilst we're at it, can someone put Tom Robinson out to grass and extending Guy Garvey's show by an hour was completely uninspiring, an hour was ok, 2 and it starts to grate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
