Pathetic isn't it ? 5live giving a job to yet another presenter who'd rather be anywhere else but Salford.
Not sure if it indicates he doesn't want to be in Salford - I imagine his commitment to presenting the football for ITV pre-dated any contract for this new 5Live show.
Bad timing that the show started last week though.
Given her background on Radio Ulster, does she still live there and commute across to do the show? I notice the Belfast to Manchester flight was delayed by over 2 hours today!
You all assume that no account would have been taken of his commitment to Football on ITV when he signed up for 5 live. That neither his agent nor the BBC took this fact into account when he signed his contract.
As has been said here Mister Chiles was in Estonia last night in a match that finished around 7.00PM last night.
When he was on Drive he was away during the World Cup and when England played on a Friday Night.
I am sorry some of you dislike certain presenters because of a perceived voice inflection. Sorry also that you find suicide so uncomfortable a listen.

She wasn't there for the first hour, so you could be right.

Yes, but what's the point in having a regular presenter who's going to be regularly absent ? !
As for James Whale? You must be on a wind up. His Talksport show was awful.
So is it cheaper to get someone from London to Manchester then?
Your point is nothing to do with his travel or where else he works it's based on the fact you don't like him as a broadcaster. Fair enough. I disagree and I think he is a great talk show presenter and 5 live would be worse off without him.
I'm not on a wind up at all - I'm giving you different options as an example of an already employed BBC presenter in Frances Finn who is in Nottingham so not a million miles away - there are other BBC broadcasters who can do a better job (not difficult) without flying backward and forward to Ireland....
that you choose to pick on the James Whale example means you centre on an alternate choice I gave you rather than deal with the issue which is paying out to ship in a very mediocre presenter is illogical and wasteful .....but hey it's not their money is it??
I never listened to talksport as its more football oriented than 5live for me but he was excellent on BBC IMHO ... that you don't like him is fine I just posted a couple of options there are several others.....
It's not just me by the way....see posters above for like minds on the clown....

But that sums it up. It would seem that Adrian Chiles only commitment is to Adrian Chiles.
To these TV types radio seems to be simply a standby for the days when they can't get their faces on the TV. How dare anyone suggest that radio should be given a full time commitment.
However, I'd never realised that TV money was so poor that such people needed to supplement their meagre pickings by doing occasionally turning up to do a radio show.
In the next year, Chiles will miss 3 because of football with 2 times probably having to present the show somewhere other than Manchester.
Not a lot then.
We appear to have a psychic defending this shambles.
Blimey I've known people arrive back from a 2 week stint working abroad, in the early morning hours and still come in work and do a 12 hour shift.I can't see any excuse for some pampered radio or tv presenter not to turn up and do his job that only extends to 2 days a week or a total of 6 hours on 5live ! Perhaps he was just too tired.:) Bless him.

And NC introduced the travel rather than the weather at 7.00. Bit of a shambles even by their standards this morning.
Sam Walker = Victoria Derbyshire clone, her shows are always just as depressing.

This is what I thought would happen when they moved to Salford, no continuity in their presenters.
It's as bad as Chris Evans used to be on Radio 1 !
Listening to Ms. Walker is like listening to Ms. Burden, but with a mucus-free throat
Mucus free throat?? I don't think so. Her voice does my head in, as well as Rachel Burden.
