All in all Triple J is much more interesting, influential and plain better than Radio 1, playing the likes of Animal Collective, Future of the Left and Tiga alongside La Roux, Dizzee Rascal and Daniel Merriweather. Neither government would ever have the balls to follow this route but if they did they'd end up with a slightly smaller, fiercely loyal listener base.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-67868145197627944802009-08-03T06:45:32.482+00:002009-08-03T06:45:32.482+00:00How many people did Moyles kill this time?How many people did Moyles kill this time?Simon Hayes Budgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084524317888577404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-7406452916912752212009-08-02T23:06:45.975+00:002009-08-02T23:06:45.975+00:00BBC Radio 1 is no longer a Music station for the U...BBC Radio 1 is no longer a Music station for the UK public. Its a feeding ground for 50 year business men (presenters) to make millions of pounds from being associated with the power of the station's position in the media. It is totally out of control as this last weekend in Ibiza showed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
