As for Talksport, I didn't think that anyone could fuck that station up more than Kelvin MacKenzie did, but Moz Dee's done a spectacular job of making it pretty unlistenable.
Who's he?
All I say is, Mike Parry is a god listenable and then some.
I used to enjoy the Creatures of the Night, even though it was daft.
man, I used to listen to that when I was on early shift...years ago. I always though Collins was class, though Miffy was on a meal ticket.
Collins did the day time for a while, but they put him back to the night time, pity as I thought he was good. And Gaunty, who replaced him, is quite loathsome at times.
Moz Dee's the bloke who's running the station now. He and Whaley didn't see eye to eye, even before the sacking incident.
didn't realise Whaley was sacked, I guess I never heard much when he was on.
Do you remember his tv show from the 80's?...hahaha, that was so ridiculous

He may or may not have broken a broadcasting rule - the Representation of the People Act - by telling the people of London to "Vote Boris". There's some grey area around whether he did that just before or during the electoral period when it applied, and Whaley's hinted he's going to challenge his sacking on these grounds.
He's on Play Radio UK on Mondays and Tuesdays, and he filled in for Clive Bull last week on LBC. It won't be long until he's got some proper slot somewhere.
I don't share his politics, and I found him a bit stale during his last year or two on Talksport, but he's still leaps and bounds over people like Mike Mendozeoff.
Now, Tommy Boyd was The Man, the guv'nor of talk radio:

Ah, Gunt as he's also known. Abysmal.
Yep, Collins switched shifts with this much-missed, curmudgeonly old walrus:
I stopped listening to Talk Radio decades ago. It was fun for a while... but, it got boring.
Also... it is all about RATINGS... not substance or content.

Hail, Hail!!!

Some of the stations are going like that here, too, with the reverse bid auctions, and the like. Internet speech radio is much better though in many respects: there's a lot more freedom to say what you want, and calls are largely unscreened. However, that can also encourage the nutters or the people who will call up just to call the presenter a cunt because they know they can.
