In America, many breakfast/morning radio runs about 15 minutes worth of ads per hour. Brits don't realize how good they have it on the commercial radio side.

I'll second this comment. I can't stand listening to regular broadcast commercial radio here in the States because of all the commercials. When I had satellite radio it was better - no ads on many of the channels, but nowadays, aside from the new CM shows, my listening consists of my own music, podcasts, audiobooks, a couple of BBC shows and old CM shows. For the new CM shows, I just fast forward through the limited number of ads.

Good to hear Davina get a mention in the opening link, surprised it's taken so long.

LOVED it when he shouted "bye XFM! See ya!" over You Can Call Me Al this morning.

Just wanted to do a 'now and then' pic of Moyles and Coogan. The last time they met was 10 years ago.

[deimantee1]

Right, so they both look better now, after all this time. There's still hope for me then

[Yudster]

I saw Steve Coogan on TFI on Friday and I thought he was ageing very well indeed. He looks his age, and it really suits him.

Listen Again for today not working

Turns out it wasn't just me and Radio X are on it -

[fatboydave73]

Had my first spontaneous laughing fit on the train this morning since the Radio 1 days over the pub quiz; it was good radio this morning.

[bmstinton93]

Did they do the Wheel of inappropriate tracks today or yesterday? Has B*Witched been on yet?

[fatboydave73]

Didn't hear that segment yesterday, but looking at the playlist he played Chris Rea, Driving Home for Christmas; which in my eyes and ears is inappropriate for any audio source......

LMAO at work over the Gillete Razorneck vs James Bond convo.... Oh dear... painful, stifling, laughter...

I had a chuckle on the way to work, Luckily nobody was about.

Bad James Brown had me in tears - so funny!

I got annoyed when I listened to Dave's terrible mash up of 1975 and Bowie, so I started to do my own little mash up of them to see how hard it was (turns out they are not only the same key but the same tempo too). Then I got carried away and did the whole song So although I know no-one asked for it, here it is anyway...

Send it there way. See if Chris plays it.

[ianpwilliams]

I did consider that, but you can only send them messages, not files. Unless I sent them a dropbox link or something. But it really isn't all that great, just a fun little waste of time!

What happened to the new Adele song this morning? Also, just after Moyles was joking about Lionel Richie grimmy made a very similar joke.

[Tico987]

They really seem to be gelling a lot more now I've noticed - as predicted by many on here, Masterman is starting to sound a bit more comfortable on the show. Playing along with the Facebook post thing was funny.

Also really enjoyed the trick they managed to play on Vernon with Radio Stoke.

Chris Evans did the Lionel Richie joke on R2 before either of them.

[jeddeth]

I loved hearing We Built This City this morning, but why was Chris yelling Toby Anstis? According to wikipedia, the DJ on the track is Les Garland.

[Misfit]

Heard a cheesy song in full this morning and it didn't sound right after hearing it backspin into the Rock bed used on X. Still missing comedy Dave though.

I don't think Radio X were ever going to play it, not exactly fresh rock and guitar based music.

The Lionel Richie gag was fairly obvious, although it would have been better with the David Gest (?) drop.

I enjoyed what I heard of the Platinum Hour, I don't get why those tracks aren't on the regular playlist. I got the Golden Hour on Radio 1 where they generally just played new stuff, but on a station that regularly plays the Stones it just seems to say "yeah, we know the playlist is shit".

And as for putting Queen on the wheel of inappropriate tracks for a station that plays rock and guitar based music...

[ianpwilliams]

I'm enjoying the show but I'm not convinced about Masterman. Not sure why they need two producers, although Capital clearly said to Chris that Masterman will have to be involved. Pippa's funny (if only unintentionally), but Masterman seems like dead weight.

He should be an off-air producer and they should replace him with someone who Chris and Dom can banter with. Obviously it wouldn't be Comedy Dave (that ship has clearly sailed given there were opportunities to mention him that weren't taken), but there must be other options.

If Masterman is going to continue on the show then he really should make himself more involved in my opinion, which he has the power to do as a producer.
