Default Bbc Radio One

If any of you have Sirius Radio / Satellite they are now broadcasting BBC Radio One between. I found it the other day whilst searching the channels - boy was it great to listen to those English accents again.

Yeah - they've been doing so for a while (I think since September). It's unnerving, as it's lifted straight from the days broadcast in the UK, including news and promos, just timeshifted 5 hours. If I was back in the UK, I might be too old to listen to R1, but not here...
Just wish they had the rights to the World Cup as well as the Premiership (don't really want to go and pick up an XM unit next summer...)

Yup, same for me. Moyles is a egotistic moron. A modern day Chris Evans, without the humour. IMHO

Moyles does a great weekly podcast.. its worth subscribing through itunes
Its the weeks best bits rolled into 30 mins.
Also if you go to the radio 1 website, you can listen to any of th eweeks shows in full whenever you like. the website even lets you skip through it 5 mins and 15 mins at a time.
Great way to get the show without having to pay for sirius! (although sirius is definately worth getting just for howard stern!)

Agreed he's an an extremely over-rated, fat mouthpiece, but his show is still funny despite that.

I reckon that i could sit in a studio with a group of my mates and generally rip the p*ss out of all sorts of people and things and it would be funny too.
That wouldn't make me an entertainment genius like some people reckon moyles is though, just someone messing about with his mates.

Guess he gets the last laugh then eh? Just that if he is such an over rated fat mouth piece why would you find him so funny?

Are you chris moyles himself or just his brother/dad/cousin ??

My point is that people seem to think he does something new, exciting, innovative, difficult or sensational.
He does none of these things imo, but none of them have any bearing on how funny his show is much in the same way that some people (though not me personally) find 'you've been framed' funny, yet i don't see it receiving any awards.

No - I'm Comedy Dave, underated side kick

i wouldnt go as far as to class him as a shock jock, hes not that shocking/offensive - pretty conservative/clean - but funny all the same
