Whats happened to radio 1

I've worked in places where we've had both Radio1 playing all day and Radio2. The difference is - radio1 has the same 10 'new' tracks on repeat throughout the day, radio2 has the same 10 'old' tracks on repeat.

 

Every now and again I do like to tune in, often it's when I know one of the bands I like are on. I like Five Live and Radio 4 on occasion too.

 

I can't stand newsbeat - it's like the daily mail of the radio world. Adverts on the radio drive me insane too.

 

I'll just stick to finding music online and making my own compilations. :)

could it be that music in general at the moment is crap? I rarely listen to the new stuff any more as its all about massaging ego's than singing/playing music.
What like rappers talking about how rich & famous they are on their very first track? :D

This is purely about personal taste. None of the stations/DJs have changed as far as I can tell (apart from Zane Lowe's stint on Radio 1's breakfast show, which was always going to be temporary). If you like Moyles' brand of chatter, you'll continue to like him. If not, you'll always find him an arrogant loud-mouthed fool.

 

My personal taste is thus: I like Chris Moyles' mix of a lot of chatter with a little bit of music. Light-hearted. No adverts for conservatories or car dealerships. No fake sympathy from the DJ. Offensive to those who enjoy being offended. He plays so little music that the quality of current music doesn't have as much effect on his show as other shows. Happy days. :D

 

I can't comment much on the rest of Radio 1 because I rarely listen to any other DJs on it. Maybe they have changed their programme styles, although I doubt it. Have Fearne Cotton, Scott Mills et al changed their shows much recently?
