I listen have it tuned into my radio, and it is my statoin of choice, but I absoutely hate it and the DJs. They are over enthusiastic dimwits, who seem to know little about popular music.
For exmaple, I was listening to Katie Hill's show yesterday or on Saturday and she said "Aren't you just fed up with all the speculation about whether Britney is expecting. Come on Britney, just tell us if you are pregnant or not."
And they are always playing shite music, like Usher. You may say it's because Usher is popular, but I think actually Usher's popularity is largely due to the relentless playing his rubbish get's on radio.

Good old Katy Hill. Never one to let decency come between her enourmous breasts and a skin-tight jumper.
Crap radio does have a purpose though. If you set your alarm to it in the morning it's guarenteed to get you out of bed.
However it is probably a good idea to not leave your alarm set to play Virgin Radio at high volumes at 8 in the morning, lock your bedroom door and then go home for christmas.

Dr. Fucking Fox really pisses me off.
I remember seeing him on some programme or other going on about how people associate him with his controversial views he airs on radio.
What a load of bollocks. Maybe announcing support for the BNP or saying one of your favourite hobbies was whale lampooning or seal cub bashing that would be controversial.
Stating inane things like, "The M25 is busy today but then its a major roadway in to and out of London so that expected!" or " I know its not cool to say it but I prefer the old Gorillaz stuff." is not.

Luckily Dr. Fat Fucking Fox has been fired is leaving at the end of next week. I hate the way he goes on about his fucking retarded kids and his wife, who obviously only married him for his money. Unwisely, they screen Sky news in the studios, so he makes stupid comments about stuff. And he is the one of knows the least about music.
Also there is Simon 'Schoolboy' Phillips who is less intelligent than a schoolboy and acts more black than he is, and pretends to like rock music when really he just wants to go and wank over his Usher album.
I hate the way they are obsessed with the weather, and that's all they talk about. When its sunny and above 10 degress it's "A scorching beautiful day", when it's less than 10 degress and cloudy it's "Freezing". What the fuck difference does it make to them when they are in a air conditioned studio?
And don't get me started on Jezzer's Capital Confessions....
I do like Johnny Vaughn though. He's about the only one I like.

I'm sorry to resurrect this but I just have to get it off my chest. It's almost certainly general to all GC(r)AP Media stations: GWR (God What Rubbish, Generally Wank Radio) gave a sermon on the Iraq War this morning! If I wanted in-depth political analysis from dim-wits on the way to work I would still be listening to Radio 4 at that time of day.
They capped it this afternoon: I was having a quick skive and coming home slightly early visiting a client when I heard the following immortal line from the presenter: "I'd rather be a lout than French".
Fuck off. Cunts. I might have to go back to Radio 1. Oh hell.
And none of them play Pet Shop Boys. Or Eurovision.

Dr. Fox is now doing Magic's morning show. Apparently he left Capital because he didn't get the breakfast show after Chris Tarrant gave it up.
At least Magic suits his age better. And luckily his TV career has gone a bit cold.

Jezza was doing the same old guff on BRMB years ago.
Now that is a crap station. In fact most commercial G-crap ones are.

They've changed their name back to "Capital Radio" now. And also they only have 2 adverts in a row. Ooh. It's still a load of shit. And Johnny Vaughn has seen the breakfast show go from being #1 to #3.

I don't listen to the radio in general. I don't know why I ever did. Most radio DJs are thick as shit and fucking annoying.
