Is it maybe just me . but this mornings Chris Evans show is awful . the love in between Chris . David baddiel and Billie Piper is cringeworthy to say the least . its all aren't / weren't we great/cool . slipping back into the end of the radio 1 and tfi era I think . cars money time off . will probably get slated for my view but just wondering if others thot the same

Some one will say about their huge listening figures. Well they are a national station on FM.. With virtually 100% coverage of the UK. The only other rival is Radio 1 on a national basis.
Would rather listen to Heart and that's pushing it!!
I know what you mean about Heart. At least Heart play lots of music, it may not be my favourite music a lot of the time and it is very limited, but at least there is a lot of it and not a lot of inane chat like Radio 2 keep doing all the time. Radio 6 Music is guilty of that sometimes also. It should be renamed Radio 6 Chat with a little music!
As for huge listening figures? Well the UK is full of people who follow each other like Sheep no matter what.
I can see how Evans is not to everyone's taste but give me Chris over Dr Cheese any day.
I have good news for you-starting on monday august 4 he's on his summer holidays and Sara Cox is sitting in
In London BbC2 share is 11.8% versus 17.9% nationally so the stronger more professional locals In london do significantly dent Bbc2's popularity. If they were national on fm I think you'd see radio 2 pegged back by a least 1/3 compared to where it stands today
Excellent news , will look forward to that , although is that the sound of the Richard allinson fan club I can hear furiously typing away
Seems the boss was very impressed with Sara's stint last week so it looks like she could be the default breakfast stand in from now on!
But Richard Allinson fans needn't worry.he'll probably get to sit in for Vanessa Feltz
Exactly what this country needs between 6:30 and 9:30. An overall vibrant, friendly voice that is upbeat and has variety at the start of the day, with a bit of quirkyness too.
On the topic of him shouting, isn't it better he has passion for something than just providing blandness and dullness at the start of the day? Chris seems to hit on interesting topics too.
He wouldn't have the listening figures if his show wasn't worth listening to and I think in 2013 he had a record, something must be going right.
I just wish he wasn't off so often, but I don't mind Sara Cox if she becomes the regular stand in as I may have pointed out in another thread.
A post above criticized this mornings interviews, with Billie Piper etc. I found it
interesting and quite amusing how they got around referring to Rebekah Brooks.

EDIT: FIxed a couple of typo's
You seem to be either close to the "boss" or just having a few punts at predictions.
Ugh bring back Richard Allinson
The fact that the ratings have gone up despite increased competition suggests many others do too.
It was him who drove me off Radio 1 in the 90s.
All I can say is - thank god I live in the Solent area and therefore have Wave 105 available.
Typically the show has 10 songs an hour,
Today local Heart had nine songs an hour.
Radio 2 had 5 minute news, Heart 2 minute.
Radio 2 had variety, Heart just keeps playing Happy.
me too I like Sara Cox too
If I want to wake up to that much noise I'd live in a tunnel on the M25!
My alarm clock goes off at 7, I listen to Moira do the news, then I imediately hit the off button.
BUT you can't argue with the listening figures, so I gues we may be in the minority!
