What made the Golden hour on Radio 1 special is you knew you were getting an hour of songs you wouldn't normally hear during the week on Radio 1. It stood out because it played different music.
The Platinum hour is just the normal Radio X stuff with the new music dropped for an hour, so doesn't really sound any different the the rest of the output. Nice to hear Moyles doing a more music focused hour to show he is good at that format also, but they either need to bring back guess the year or play some more unusual stuff for X to make it different to the rest of the musical output on the station.
Interesting that Vernon appears to be allowed one indie dance track to start his show each day, now playing Leftfield.
X needs to drop in the occasional surprise track just to very the music the bit and make it now sound too indie.
