Just thought I'd start a thread on who people think are/were the best presenters around whether talk or music station. My list in no particular order would be:

Brian Hayes
Mike Dickin (back in his heyday, not so good in his later years)
James Whale
Nick Ferrari

    Nick Abbott seems to be getting a lot of votes. He's obviously doing something right!

    My list of favourites is below. Some are well known but some are not so well known. It's a combination of presenters of talk shows and music shows.

    Iain Lee
    Jon Holmes
    Chris Moyles
    James Hall
    Dan Morrissey
    Alex Duffy
    Sam and Amy

    I'll probably add more to the list later.

    Nick Abbot in his Virgin/Talk Radio days.
    Nicky Horne, Robin Banks (most of the presenter on the original Virgin radio really)
    My current favourite is Jon Holmes on talkRADIO & Tim Cocker on the new Virgin radio is very good.
