Given that i'm well beyond the target audience of Radio 1 it's no surprise that The Chris Moyles Show is the only thing i listen to on the station.
I started listening in the afternoon show days when i worked shifts in a factory that had very poor radio reception & Radio 1 was one of the only two or three stations that i was able to pick up. I had no idea who Chris Moyles was & remember tuning in , out of desperation because of the noise of the machines & expecting to tune out in a few minutes because of the music, but here i am still listening well over a decade later. I remember Aled's first day & thinking at first that it was actually Dave doing a comedy shy Welsh gay character . He was so nervous, quiet & introverted ( what happened ,Aled?
).
Theres been a few hiatuses & breaks mainly due to work patterns & changes of jobs etc, but i'm now able to listen every 2 weeks out of 3 (again due to shifts).
When i'm on a bus to work at 6.45 in the morning people think i'm the bus nutter due to the outbreaks of laughter & spluttering as i listen on earphones on my wee radio.
To sum up, when i'm heading to a long hard days graft working plastic injection moulding machines, or exhausted & drained at the end of a knackering nightshift, its Chris & team that give me something to look forward to & entertained when i might otherwise be miserable or tired.
And i think thats what they're aiming for.
