Does anyone seriously find Chris Moyles entertaining when all he did was copy Mark N Lard.

Surely coincidence that you choose to ignore Beacon Radio (Shropshire) winning Station of the Year Award (under 300,000) given that Telford FM are based out of the your Ketley offices?

I do my level best to ignore Beacon too……& Tepid FM for that matter.
Tinpot local commercial radio is an audio verson of losing the will to live.
I agree Y Mab that Moyles oaf rode on the back of Mark & Lard for years.
Radio 1 died on the 26the of March 2004 when Mark & Lard broadcast their last show.
I tend to prefer BBC6 music these days, where you can find Lard…now known as Marc Riley presenting a fine early evening show.
I do listen to BBC Shropshire in the morning when out & about. Jim Hawkins is pretty good.
