This week I've been giving 6 Music a try again, as Christian O'Connell and Chris Evans are both off this week. However, how Shaun Keaveny got a breakfast DJ slot is beyond me, his monotone mumbling is very difficult to understand!
Moyles seems to have vanished off the face of the planet!

If you want music that is unlikely to be played by mainstream radio stations there's radio 6.
I think the 25-40 sector want songs from 1990-2010 played every now and again, you get the odd one on things like the Radio 1 10 minute takeover and Friday drivetime on Radio 2, but they're interspersed with shouty stuff on R1 and cheesey wedding disco on R2.If you want music that is unlikely to be played by mainstream radio stations there's radio 6.
I did try Radio 6 as my main radio station at home for a few months (mainly as my radio was stuck on it and I lost the remote) and they did play some good music but most of the music they played came across as pretentious dirge to me and the guy in the mornings is awful.
Edit- gained listeners to 500k, not gained 500k listeners...

I find him really funny, he has quite a dry sense of humour. ^ music does play some great music, bit of crap now and then too. My days seems to be 6 music till 10am then Kiss for the "kisstory" old school then back to 6 music for mark and marconni(spelling?) Moyles seems to have vanished off the face of the planet!
Which reminds me Scott Mills and Chris Stark seem to have stolen Mark and Lards "whoooooooo?"

Quite frankly I don't get why a commercial station doesn't pick-up Moyles and the BBC get someone inspired by John Peel to do their morning show.
The point of the BBC shouldn't be to be the most popular.
A mix of music and discussion, and the music from a decent period of time, as in a wide spread. The was some great stuff in the 80's and 90's, where as some of the stuff in the charts is just dross.If you want music that is unlikely to be played by mainstream radio stations there's radio 6.

I don't want to listen to Bieber and One Direction, I want music I know which Moyles used to play interspersed with some great banter that I could relate to. I'd say there's many others who agree, the vast majority of the morning drive time audience is in the 25-40 demographic and the fact that Moyleses(?) figures were constantly increasing seems to back this up.
Plus I'd argue the youth demographic the BBC are (or aren't) chasing do not listen to radio. Think I've posted this before on here but I did a rough survey at work on who listened to Radio 1 and the majority looked at me like they didn't even know what radio is. A lot of kids these days don't even seem to listen to MP3s they've downloaded, they just stream it.

Well Chris Evans was worth a listen this morning,he's usually too loud for me.
His Friday guests were in no particular order,Rick Stein,Jack Dee,Clarkson and Hammond
and an excellent singer called Eliza Doolittle who did 4[or more]live songs and she has
a beautiful voice....
Yes I thought that. A good listen. Slightly spoilt by the awful "Candy Man" before Clarkson and Hammond. His Friday guests were in no particular order,Rick Stein,Jack Dee,Clarkson and Hammond
and an excellent singer called Eliza Doolittle who did 4[or more]live songs and she has
a beautiful voice....

I'm still surprised Chris Moyles hasn't appeared on Absolute.
Better not turn up there and ruin it.I believe he doesn't get on with Christian O Connell but i can't listen to him either....
My new regime is ....get in car at 6.30am,listen to Theakston and Emma Bunton on Heart
till 9am when they finish,7am on in the truck then 1/2 hour of Evans is bearable then 1/2 hour
of Ken Bruce then to Absolute for the rest of the day.
I still say Andy Bush is good fun at 1pm to 5pm on Absolute,would like him to get the breakfast
slot and oust O Connell who is a twunt...

So Grimshaw is slightly up last quarter, but still over 1m down on Chris Moyles.
I'm still surprised Chris Moyles hasn't appeared on Absolute or some other radio station.
What's Moyles up to these days? Too young to retire and long term personal friendship he destroyedI'm still surprised Chris Moyles hasn't appeared on Absolute or some other radio station.
