No Rock And Roll Fun

TALKING TRASH: So, the sun rises on the new Radio One breakfast show - the swap between Moyles and Cox being delicately handled to try and counteract the impression that Sara Cox was dumped. So Sara Cox got a high-profile interview with Miranda Sawyer in the Observer, while both shows got a trailer for the telly. While Cox's was quite amusing, Moyles suggests someone in the BBC PR department offering up a hostage to fortune: DLT 2004 is shown running about with binmen collecting rubbish and doing his stuff from inside a skip. The rest, we think, writes itself.

Moyles has claimed he'd kick anyone's arse on breakfast, ever, which is quite a claim. When we tuned in a short while ago, his big idea was getting a very bleary Wes Butters to do some mental arithmetic and playing Avril Lavigne. We'd imagine shares in Capital will be holding steady.

Talking of Wes Butters, isn't it a little odd that - almost a year into his Radio One life - he's still only doing the chart rundown? If he's such a great talent that the parachuting into the plum slot wasn't a big mistake, how come they've not found anywhere else on the network for him to exercise those talents? And if it was a mistake, why is he still there?
