"Absolute Radio is coming..." what?!

Not sure if I mishearing this but just now, before the top of the hour, and on a few occasions before the top of other hours today, I've heard the phrase "Absolute Radio is coming" on, erm, Absolute Radio, have I got a hearing problem or is something happening that I'm not aware of?! What does it mean?

I was wondering the same but surely that joke would only make sense to either those in the know or people tuning in from Real areas (such as mine), but it's on the national mux, so they couldn't do that eh? I'll try and get a recording of it next time to prove I'm not going mad!
If it is their way of having a little joke, it's appreciated, though maybe they should actually do a concerted advertising campaign as well to pick up other ex-Real listeners?
Between them and JACK Berks, I've now pretty much not even bothered with (what was) Real Radio at all this week and I'm wondering if Absolute may have already slightly tweaked their playlist as in previous months when I've tuned in, I found much of the music to be not to my tastes, maybe it's because I'm giving it more of a fair shot now or maybe Bauer have already made changes?
Anybody in Ireland? Are they affected as well?
Absolute was runing at a loss.
Don't mind the Matt Berry jingles but yes the endless trails for the breakfast - sometimes two trails in the same ad break - is exceptionally tiresome, surely they could find some other clips to use if they have to plug it so often!?
I did a long time ago, just got too much for me in the end >:(
Here, here. The CoC trails really wind me up. I never listen live, but I can never understand the 'fun' from the trails.
Another "I agree". I'm surprised Bauer haven't stepped in and improved the presentation and imaging around the station. It would logically be my station of choice given the music it plays but I find it unlistenable due to the constant repetition of the same unfunny clips from breakfast and the equally unfunny spoken jungles.
It's an annoying and humourless version of Jack FM.
You should listen to the show then, funniest show on the radio and full of fun and giggles and over the past couple of weeks a more serious tone as well with #runrichierun
...but feel free to slag it off even though you dont actually listen,
No show or presenter is going to appeal to everyone and COC does tend to polarise opinion rather. I'm another bod who can't get on with the show and believe me, I've tried, on many, many occasions. I just don't find him funny but irritating. Personally, I don't have a problem with people loving the show, that's great for them and he seems to be doing a good job for Absolute, but it's not for me. The same with Andy Bush.... but I'll often be laughing out loud to Frank Skinner and Geoff Lloyd - I could listen to them all day long.
COC is unfunny because on any of the clips in the trails he and his team always sound like they're reading from a script. Moyles, even when he was doing a pre-prepared item always sounded spontanous and in practice regularly did go off on unexpected tangents. COC sounds perpetually incapable of any tangrnt unless he'd carefully scripted it the night before.
Note to Bauer-whatever London think, most of the rest of the country think your breakfast presenter is stilted and unfunny.
My issue exacly!
Wonder if the title refers to the forthcoming concerts in various cities?
Me too. I avoided the breakfast show but the CONSTANT plugging of it through the day made me turn off 3 years ago and I have never been back.
Mind you I hate ALL breakfast shows though.
