Ok guys n gals, quick thread to attain support for the outrage which is the forced pre-0700 song as enforced by a certain Rhys Hughes.

So, if everyone could PLEASE refrain from adding silly responses and other opinions and just continue the thread, with your name added, IF you agree with me the pre-0700 song should be dropped.

So, if you do agree, please click 'Quote', remove all this blurb from the quotation bubble, but add your (forum)name to the list. I thank you in advance.

I am more than happy to sign it but I think the forced song before 7 makes Chris angry and that's when he often produces his best work.

This EXCELLENT post was just put in the Ask Aled section:

Aled would it be fair to say that the more music argument that sits behind the "song before seven" debate is a bit counter-intuitive to what Radio 1 is often trying to tell us about its audience?

My point is that, at that moment in time, 6:55am, if someone really wanted to listen to Stooshe they could pick up their smart phone, tablet, games console, laptop or PC and download the mp3 for pence, the could log on to Spotify, they could stream the video from VEVO and YouTube. They could even, likely switch to a commercial competitor. It's precisely radio 1s target audience that is doing those new things to get their music.

Yet if that same member of the audience wanted to listen to Chris and the team, friendly banter and conversation then they have no real alternative as far as I can see.

I could understand it on Radio 2 where the target audience will be less tech-savvy and less in the “on-demand” frame of mind the only place they might hear these songs is on the radio until they decide they like it and buy the physical CD album. Even then, if someone in the Radio 2 bracket wants talk radio they have both 4 and 5 that broadly hit their age range.

It just seems to me that, in general, the BBC and Radio 1 is all about providing something its target audience can’t get elsewhere (I think that describes the Chris Moyles Show to a tee – companionship radio, irreverent social comment and high profile interviews) yet it seems transfixed on providing a small number of limited genre songs (that can already be sought through a range of other channels) in a really linear format. This seems out-dated for me and, irrespective of what Radio 1's official remit is, times have changed for young people to a point that youth radio needs to offer something different.

It's not gone down well though, has it?

Aled's arguing against his own feeling though - he has to toe the party line to an extent, and he is doing a grand job!

I have added my name purely on the basis that this one song crow-barred in before the news is pointless, awkward and solves nothing. Not that music, played correctly at the right time, is necessarily a bad thing before 07.00
