Just wondering how many of you listen to Radio 1 with Chris Moyles and like him? Personally I find that he talks too much, unfunny and just generally completely irritating. I would rather cut my own fingers off with a penknife then have to listen to him every morning, but then again there are people who absolutely love him and think that he fully justifies his £650,000 a year salary. Any thoughts? :)

0. If you don't like him, don't listen to him- 1. "think that he fully justifies his £650,000 a year salary", there are very few people in the world who earn so much and really deserve it at the same time.

I don't listen to him. I was wondering who does and why.

I tried listening to him fora spell and then got an FM transmitter for the mp3 player. Much better. I do pop back to see if he's got over himself yet but sadly it appears not to have happened yet.
When I first listened to him my immediate reaction was to dislike him. Then I thought - no, maybe I'm missing something here, listen to it some more and maybe you'll grow to like it. But, nah, still don't like him. I've yet to meet someone who does listen to him regularly. :)

Can be amusing, but can't cope with listening to him for long. He is also a fairly crap person who would be unable to survive without a team to pander to him. I mostly listen to Five Live in the car (the only time I listen to the radio) but a couple of months ago started working my way through my CD collection which had been in my airing cupboard for 5 years. Just taking the next CD (they are in no order) each day for the drive to work. This has been very good fun.

Yes there can be too much talk, but some of the banter between him, his crew and the guests can be really entertaining. He is a million times better than Sara Cox. She is just a pain in the ears.....and more irritating than tinnitus.

Yeah, I thought that as well.

Now I listen to Radio 4's Today programme (as I don't read a paper in the morning, this acts as my news), then a bit of Chris Evans who gives me a smile - although plays too much old music. If not the radio, then like you I whack on some CD's, the missus bought me Dizzee Rascals CD which I have to say rocks. Or raps. Or whatever I'm supposed to say - he is rather good. :)

Ohh, I could be with you on that. Sarah Cox is just an abomination of a DJ. :)

Yep the guy is overpaid, if fact I've now resorted to listening to Radio 4 on the morning drive to work.
Two heads are better than one.

Or Kerrang! If they have phone in programs on Five Live then I get too angry to continue listening so switch to Kerrang! which mostly has the sort of stuff I mostly like.

No. I can't stand the man and certainly don't believe he's worth that salary - especially since it's license fee money Far prefer listening to Alice Cooper on PlanetRock at that time of the morning - now there's a guy whose funny without having to try:thumbsup:

Much prefer local BBC radio. Now if that salary was in the old Italian Lira then he might be worth it, but not British Pounds. No broadcaster is worth such an obscene salary. Apparently, he is not a morning person :|

Kerrang! - is that on digital radio? The car only has the old FM/AM doohickey...
