Went down the ****er when Matt Morgan stopped appearing on it though.

Yeah. He wasn't gone for good though. He was working in America for a few weeks IIRC so they brought guest co-hosts in.

The BBC's job is not to get viewing figures. It's to provide a quality product for those that fund it, quite simply he's a moron probably on a 6 figure salary, me for one things that is outrageous for a brainless, totally unfunny oaf - clearly others think so too.

If his mindless drivel has to continue let the private sector pay for it and not us

I agree. He's cringeworthy and creepy.

Care to tell us what these services are because i cant think of single one. By your crazy logic the bbc should get a rid of programs like Top gear, The Apprentice and F1 because they are all services that the private sector can/want to air and replace them with god knows what, open university courses maybe ?

From its charter:
"The BBC is required by its charter to be free from both political and commercial influence and to answer only to its viewers and listeners". As far as I'm concerned this clearly means the beeb is required to give the listeners, who also happen to be license payers what they want, whether it be light entertainment, educational or factual programs. And in this case its large audience shows people obviously like Moyles. If you don't you can tune into another channel.

To be equally frank, no-one cares. Gilly.

The BBC's remit should be to educate and inform, full stop. And we should fund that. We SHOULD NOT fun that obease excuse for a human being - nor some we fund east ender or any enterainment program - why? Because ITV / Ch4 + blah blah can do that for us, let the them fight over who can get more ratings, let them pay for it NOT ME.

Government servies aren't to enterain - the civil service isn't supposed to be a load of clowns (well they might well be but that's another arguement).

I'm so gutted this looks to be a hoax

You don't know how happy I was to hear that fat ******* **** was going to be taken off the air. I want them to film his big fat smug look dissapear off his face as somebody punches his P45 down his throat.

StevieLudo · 18 Apr 2009 at 15:35

I never listened to his show (or radio at all tbh) but saw him on some stuff and found him mildly amusing. He does seem to be wanting to crack more into TV now though, so if this is true then it could advance his career a bit.

I think you have to respect that there are also millions that HATE him. We're all lisence payers, I personally don't think we should be paying for that fat oaf to be on the air. I think presenters that represent the BBC should have a brain

dangerstat said:
I'm not suggesting that he doesn't my point is that if he's that good and you all want to listen to him WHY NOT HAVE HIM IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR SO I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT FAT SLOB.

dangerstat said:
I think you're not understanding why we pay for the BBC. Quite simply it should provide broadcasting services that the private sector either cannot or will not provide. Examples? OU programming, independent news service etc. It does not exist to pay the salary of over weight idiot - it's that simple

From this, it seems you despise his weight more than anything else.

Chris Moyles isnt funny, or entertaining or even a good DJ.

It was 23 minutes yesterday before the fat tool played a tune on his show, he then claimed he was opening the show with 2 fantastic tunes.
No Chris, you opened the show with the same gags you have been recycling all week and then some, for 23 painful minutes.

Oh the ironing.

Anyway, the BBC does have a duty to entertain. See here:

BBC said:
BBC mission
To enrich people's lives with programmes and services that inform, educate and entertain.

If you dislike that, perhaps you'd better write them a letter.

I would pay more to have Brand back on BBC2 but of course it's people like yourself who think everyone they dislike should not be on the Beeb that caused his resignation.

Yeah commercial stations are primarily concerned with ratings but that isn't always compatible with providing the viewers with what they want. a lot of the time, commercials considerations get in the way. Its no accident that the beeb has been responsible for great shows such as Top Gear, The office, Attenborough, Little Britain, Red dwarf, Fools and horses, the list on and on.
If it were a commercial station concerns about marketability to advertisers and initial ratings would have killed a lot of these shows before they even got of the ground. And instead the public would get an unending supply of dull American imports and cooking shows.

So yeah, while you may think that the bbc should only "educate and inform",
the bbc has the ability to to create programs that are popular, entertaining and superior to their commercial counter parts so why on earth shouldn't it?

On a personal note, does calling people names make you feel any bigger?

I don't have a TV so I don't pay a TV license. So I get to listen to him every morning for free. I value the entertainment he provides, and if I did own a TV I'd be quite happy to pay the fee.

If you don't like the fact that the BBC provides entertainment I think you should sell your TV and stop paying the license fee.

G|mp · 18 Apr 2009 at 16:06

Moyles is not getting any better, its the inane conversation they have for an hour before they play any music that gets me.

I want to listen to music while I'm getting ready in the morning not what Chris and his ****ing bunch of media students watched on telly the night before :mad:

Vernon filled in not long back whilst fat Chris was up the mountain and it was a pleasure for those few days to turn the radio on to be greeted to tunes !

A decent argument to be fair, but ultimately I disagree not because I think any of those programs you mention aren't excellent just that I don't think we should *have* to pay for them. I feel there's a big difference between an essential service which we are forced to pay (and fairly) which is true in the case of the excellent work the BBC do in terms of providing news and educational programming.

Well that's *your* choice, unfortunatley the way the system works at the moment *I* have to pay for something I hate.... surely that's wrong when it's not providing an *essential* service. I actually quite like Brand but that's not even the point.

there are other radio stations, lots of them. i dont understand why people would tune in only complain about the lack of music - listen to a station that plays more music then. surely thats the answer?

Its on Radio1 because my Mrs listens to it, I also really do not have the time or the inclination to **** about changing station in the morning whilst standing there naked

actually, the BBC stations are the only ones i can receive where I live so i dont have much choice

but i dont mind him.

Glaucus · 18 Apr 2009 at 16:18

I don't watch his show as he talks to much. If he played a few more songs he would be very good. As he is fairly funny. he just rabbits on a bit.

But then again, teh same can be said about most breakfast shows. Thats why you need at least 6 pre-set and witch and swap.

Chris Moyles is a self-proclaimed funny man who uses the same old tired "jokes" over and over again. He's not funny and it would have been great if he was forced to leave as I am forced to listen to CDs on the way to work at the moment when he's on. Radio 1 should be about music and not a fat man bleeding out jokes for 15 mins that arent funny.
