I suppose it was never going to go too well when they were being touted as the new Ant and Dec, when in reality they were the spare Sam and Mark. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure why Virgin have hired them. Mind you, I wasn't sure why Radio 1 hired them either. They seemed to get all the right radio awards and praise from top people, but always came across as little more than two awful wacky morning guys from the local GCap station. (Actually, just fastening the radio anorak a little tighter for a sec, it's interesting to see that, just recently, Radio 1's signings from commercial stations have failed - Remember Wes Butters? Their newer presenters have come from other places - Greg James from Student Radio, Annie Mac and Mike Davies from BBC production positions, Daniel P Carter from the band A - I wonder if this is a result of the way commercial stations enforce their strict format rules on presenters these days? Whatever you think of Moyles and Mills, they sound way different from JK and Joel, but also came from commercial stations, only ten years earlier) (*unfastens*)<BR/><BR/>Still, I'm glad Iain Lee's been hired. I never liked him on TV but gave his LBC show a try, and he's aces. The Shindiggery podcast's good fun too (http://iainlee.libsyn.com).<BR/><BR/>I am not Iain Lee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
