BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[Petcha]

He's getting a little bit plastered now and having a pop at the BBC. Fair enough I suppose

lols. would be awful.

I have to listen to Xfm now in the car as my car is ancient and all my journeys are so short I cba to set up bluetooth etc. (yes, they are essential, heavy things need picking up).

Moyles is still an insufferable ignorant cunt. Vaughan is still a stream of idiocy.

They're such fucking laaaads. I hate them.

eta: Absolute was my previous last resort but now it has been replaced by Kid Jensen or something playing well know disco hits all fucking day.

Thank fuck. It wouldn't surprise me though.

I got all Vaughan in my ears a few weeks ago by mistake; fucking horrible.

[Nebogipfel]

There is something to be said for bowing out with dignity.

 

[Petcha]

Yep. Reading out loved up emails about yourself for hours is probably not quite that

 

[spitfire]

I thought he'd gone for the longest dead air ever but I had just pressed mute by mistake. Been sitting here in silence for 3 minutes!

What a wanker.

 

[Sweet FA]

Awww

 

[Petcha]

He's gone!

 

[spitfire]

He's gone!

And it's all your fault.

 

[Petcha]

I do like both Crowded House and the Carpenters though so that's quite a nice way to go out

 

[Petcha]

And it's all your fault.

Yep. I need a new target. Yes, Raab I'm looking at you.

 

[spitfire]

Hah!

I don't think he was sacked. Unless Charles is a placeholder for someone younger that isn't free for a while. I reckon CC was the only solution they could find at short notice when SK decided on new pastures.

Sounds like he was (sacked)... The man says so himself: "...when I was informed that I wouldn't be doing this show anymore..." 2:56.45

Well there you go. I missed that during Dead Air Gate.

I've just been taking a look at his twitter. he really is a good dude. i feel sorry for him, they should have just moved him to a less high profile slot like they did to the far, far, far worse Radcliffe and Maconie

I just find it strange they chose CC to replace him. there must be younger, more cutting edge DJ's out there who haven't already got a show on 6.

CC was always the really popular choice to cover Keaveny when he did the breakfast show, and when he covered Steve The Mac for months during lockdown 1 or 2 or 3 or whatthefuck number it was, again he proved to be popular, so maybe he was the natural choice for the moment. But mark my words, there'll be a radio 1 child waiting in the wings to take over, like Gemma or Hugh or some such shite. Maybe it's us, maybe we've gotten too aged for the radio 6 demographic and it's time to get the pipe and slippers out, put away the vinyl and tune in to radio 4 FOREVVVVVVVVEEEEEER....

Why? They gave him a job - and a wage - most DJs can only dream about.

I liked CC in SL's slot, he was just the tonic during the dark days of lockdown. I'll probably enjoy his new show but I reckon you're right, there's someone in the hatchery they are grooming. Not Cairney, anyone but Cairney.

because they canned him from the job and wage most DJs can only dream about?

Yeah, I had to turn her off this morning. Just so fucking.... sycophantic... and radio 1...

Maybe that's because he treated his music playing job as a platform for his shit fucking jokes and sub Radio One bantz .

Honestly, he sounds like an average band who haven't recorded a decent album in years moaning about being booted off their record label. It's the nature of the job in entertainment that your star shines and fades, and as far as I can see he had a very long time in the limelight. Too long, in fact.

 

[Petcha]

14 years. Which he mentioned quite a few times.

 

[killer b]

I'm sure you're right and he's terrible, but I think you have to allow someone who's just been canned to have a few moments of bitterness.

 

[skyscraper101]

George Lamb to return?

I'd fucking love that tbh

 

[spitfire]

Just in case anyone else missed it because they are fat fingered fuckwits with a stupid touch bar on their computer that needs to be launched into the sea.

Bless him, a bit overblown but he grew on me over the years and as a daytime radio show, I expected chat, twats and drivel so having been subjected recently to Radio X it has given me a fresh appreciation for SK's schtick.

 

[Orang Utan]

fucking hell, that’s laid on thick. this is why radio is so shit, unless it’s just music

Spotify ------>

Some people like radio shows, the chat, the shit jokes, interspersed with some decent music (most of the time). I'm not sure what else you would expect from a daytime radio show? everyone latches onto BBC 6 Music but it's one of their main stations, it's never going to be wall to wall tunes.

I've always liked radio, with people chatting sometimes, other people don't.
