Enjoyed the pub quiz today. Was Rob DJ live because they haven't started doing recordings for him yet, or because they can't do the recordings in the same way on Radio X, so he *needs* to be live?
I enjoyed it regardless! Awful traffic today, nice to have a laugh on the way into work. |

Wow, Changes by Bowie
Sounds great and the first time Chris has ever played it! |

Was live in the studio, sounded more energetic. Sounds like a good guy glad back on the show, a decent regular feature.

Historically, I don't think he did but with the ease of high quality home recording he could do it every week without being in London quite easily. What Chris was always good at was taking all the clips of him talking and using them to create a fun atmosphere where you almost forget he's not.
Interesting that Vernon effectively co-presents the show for the last 45 minutes, kind of like the new Dave. Can't see beyond Vernon as the main stand in for Chris but if their 1st 2 weeks off is over Xmas they will probably just have a generic cover presenter (Rich Walters?) as the audience will be low for that period so stand in less critical and doubt Vernon would work over Xmas anyway. |

On Radio 1 the 4 presenters took part with a producer reading the questions, but on Radio X they only have 2 presenters so need the 2 producers to take part to have 4, so they probably need Rob to read the questions unless they can find someone else in the building, Vernon?

I am thinking Stephaie Hirst will be his stand in. She has been having meetings in London recently and Chris said the deal for his cover is nearly sorted in an interview somewhere I read.
Unless she is getting a permanent show once one of the old XFM hosts contract expires, Would help increase the number of females on the schedule which they've been getting some stick about. Having one dumb (I use today's pub quiz as justification for that statement) blonde on the breakfast show doesn't really help with them not trying to sound too male. |

Charmless Man and Charming Man both played on the show today.
Chris had a dig at the repetitive playlist again after Charmless Man saying you don't hear it enough unless you listen to Radio X all day. Love that he can have a dig at the station he's on. Do any Heart/Capital DJs comment on the fact they play some songs a lot? |

Not unless they wish there current show to be their last. I think Moyles is ak rule unto himself. Just how far he can push it is debatable?
I don't get Vernon's show it doesn't have the personality led content of Moyles, Vaughn, Holmes, Wilson so you wonder why they paid big bucks for him if its a music driven show why not just put Camfield or Good in that slot who are no doubt much cheaper than Kay. Or was this another Moyles request and is Vernon really there just to co present the last bit of Moyles show? If so why not just make Vernon a permanent co-presenter with Moyles who can then cover holiday and just let 10-1 be a music driven show which the station obviously want. Although Vernon likes to think he's a big star so not sure he'd be up for being Moyles sidekick but would be a better use of his talent. |

Not just Moyles though is it, Vernon is also complaining about the repetition in the playlist and wants to play more 'repetitive beats' also mentioned they'd been allowed to get away with things in the first 2 weeks and now things are being reigned in.

The relaunch needed recognisable names to a NEW audience, not to ones who know who Camfield or Good are. I sure as hell have never heard of them. |

Pjex, if you think Vernon is an odd fit then why would you think Scott would work better? He's even less into the guitar based music than Vernon is!
Greg James would work but I can't see him leaving Radio 1 anytime soon. I do think it's a shame that they're not broadening the playlist. I like that Chris is bringing in features to try and get different music played! |

I do hope Jon Holmes stays, never listened to XFM breakfast until his last few weeks once we knew he was going but his new weekend breakfast show is a revelation great to have a really entertaining breakfast show at the weekends when you're up earlier than you'd like to be. I hope Jon's slot isn't temporary and they keep him on as it's a really good listen. |

I actually like Big Verns show
Its less jarring to transfer from Chris into his show than it would if it were some xfm weirdo |

They should get rid of that dull & utterly boring Madam Dave and replace him with DJ Rob.
Rob adds energy, personality & enthusiasm to the show. |

Sam FM....what a dreadful name for a radio station!
And the station strap line is "we're in charge" Talk about instant listener exclusion! |

I have to say though that the format works and doesn't appear to exclude the listener as its all tongue in cheek in a moyles sort of way. Also jack2 now "play what we want" from a limited list which you vote for on their website. A good way to include listeners and throw some more advertising at them. Miss Paul Darrow though. |

The official party line is that Dave is too busy with his company but I think it's pretty obvious that they don't talk to each other now, and listening back to the old shows you can tell that things weren't right between them. I always wondered if that was the reason Ben Cooper called time on the show, rather than the pressure to get the average listener age down.
Of course, Chris isn't going to discuss the fallout so unless Dave talks then they're sticking to the "other commitments" excuse. |
