BBC Radio 1 Review

Overall Rating

Good music, good competions, some good DJs, Funny (Scott Mills' wind ups) The Live Lounge, Sara Cox and the crazy JK out of JK & Joel.

The Chris Moyles show. I know he is popular, but I can't stand this show! I hate his annoying jingles, his annoying parody songs, his ego. He likes the sound of his own voice far to much and he only plays a song when he wants to have a cigarette or go to the toilet. I don't like any aspect of his show. Carpark Catchphrase has to be the most mundane, boring, unfunny part of the Chris Moyles show.
If you're reading this Chris, everything you have ever done or said on your show, Chris Evans has already done about 10 years ago. The only thing Moyles does that Evans didn't is repeat large sections from his previous shows, and pretends he likes football.

I have to get up early for work so when i switch my car radio on i always tune into the JK & Joel show. This can sometimes be amusing and these two play plenty of songs and dont take themselves to seriously. This show has lots of caller participation regarding choosing songs and playing the crazy you say we pay game.
Unfortunatley this show ends at 7.00am and Chris Moyles show begins. I used to listen to Moyles but i now change stations.
After Moyles has had his three hours of self promotion Jo Wiley has her slot. Im usally at work when Jo is on the airwaves but when i have listened to her show i like the live lounge, when she has a band or singer in the studio singing live and often covering other singers songs.
Other regular DJs include Eidith Bowman, Colin Murrey, Vernon Kay, Sara Cox, Chappers and Dave, Scott Mills, Dave Pearce and Pete Tong.
Most of the shows are pretty similar regarding the type of music they play and the audience it is aimed at, the respective DJs have their own games and competions although Dave Pearce and Pete Tong only play dance anthems and often play a set live from a nightclub in Ibiza.
Radio 1 also have podcast which you can download and put on your MP3 player, its basically the best bits from previous shows which listeners can download if they missed a show. Im not sure why anyone would want to listen to a radio show which is not live, but the podcast allows you to if you so desire.

  I listen to BBC podcasts on my ipod and have sometimes watched them 5 days after I downloaded them. However, I do agree with you about Chris Moyles - he's very pedantic.

  I don't really listen to Radio anymore, isn't Moyles just copying what that Evans lad did years ago.

  To be honest, I don't like listening to radio either. I much prefer watching radio on the TV, preferably on one of those satellite radio channels with no actors or anything. I think the reception is much better and it if you don't like it you simply just turn to BBC 2 and watch something else.
