I think a lot of people found Moyles marmite.....you either loved him or hated him. I don't think anyone just tollerated him!

For Grimshaw people seem indifferent. Moyles came from drivetime and those listeners are likely to have followed him to breakfast. With Grimmy being on late nights those aren't the people who will be up at 6:30 listening to the radio, hell most will probably just be getting back home after their night out!
 
Voted can't stand either of them, as Radio 1 has the odd decent show. I quite like the music Zane Lowe finds and plays, but he is an overexciteable child at times. But day time Radio 1 is pretty awful.

"He was funny without the gags, endearingly self-deprecating. He preceded new items with: 'This might be rubbish' and instead of a cackling posse there was hip electronic music playing beneath everything he said."

And that is the reason Radio 1 is rubbish most of the time. They feel the need to play awful electronic music beneath all the talking.
 
Grimshaw was only given the job as a fall guy obviously. Whoever took over from moyles would take a ratings slump and the axe will fall. They would have given the job to Greg James but protected him from being the fall guy.

It's rumoured that Chris and Dave have fallen out and was part of the reason to call it a day.

The r1 line up is woeful, dev is a brain dead chimp, cotton has nothing redeeming and mills is far far past it. I understand going for a younger audience but at least try to find some presenters who are funny or talented.

true - i don't find grimshaw offensively annoying (like a lot of the others) but he is just dull and not funny.
i'm going to give him a week and then most likely move over to radio 2 - if chris evans is too annoying its music from then on.

I just felt that Nick Grimshaw is the the new Sara Cox........and that's not a good thing! Coxy on breakfast was tedious and still remains to be whenever she is on

Have corrected you there ;)

Mist agree, I listened to Grimmy when he was covering the afternoon shows for Greg James and was thoroughly annoyed by him. He doesn't even come across well when he is on the TV.

My radio has now been moved to Radio 2. Many will say that it should have been there years ago as I am 40 in March, but i really enjoyed listening to Moyles et al in the mornings on my drive in to work.

Sorry Radio 1 and Grimmy, you have lost a listener there (although no one really cares).

That said, am not liking Zoe Ball covering for Chris Evans either...never really liked her when she was on Radio 1 either :p
 
Neither. I'd rather stick hot knitting needles in my eyes than listen to Radio 1. Which is handy given the poll options...

This isn't down to Chris Moyles or Nick Grimshaw (although I can't stand either) but also the music they play. I'd take Radio 2 at all times.
 
COMING UP ON RADIO 1!
*ANNOYING SOUND EFFECTS*
*ANNOYING PRESENTER SHOUTING AT YOU FIRST THING IN THE MORNING!*
*MORE ANNOYING SOUND EFFECTS*
*MORE SHOUTING!*
*JUMP CUT OF WHAT THE TEN SONGS ON ROTATION WILL BE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS*
*MORE SHOUTING*

And that's what I remember from listening to radio 1 over ten years ago when I was labouring. Thankfully, working in industrial units, we had the ear defenders, so you could stick them on and ignore all the radios tuned to that hateful, woeful, **** filled station. **** Radio 1, particularly in the morning and anyone who listens to it.

I'm with the Wogan bunch.
 
Had to vote for 'Would rather stick hot knitting needles in my eyes than listen to Radio 1'.

Can't stand most of the presenters and hate the music they play. 5Live for me :)
