Moyles hits out at 'dull' radio

Personally I can't stand the man but he can be funny when he wants to although I do think he oversteps the mark sometimes and just doesn't think before he speaks  

Quote:
Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles has accused the BBC of making dull programmes because it does not want to upset listeners.

He says that radio shows are "so formulaic [that] anyone different, like me or Jonathan (Ross), stands out".

Moyles has landed in hot water on several occasions. In March, he was censured by media watchdog Ofcom for mocking singer Will Young's sexuality.

But, he told the Radio Times: "The reality is you can't keep everyone happy all the time."

The furore surrounding the Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand's prank calls on Radio 2 last year led the BBC to bolster its compliance procedures.

"The BBC is in a very weird state where they just don't want to upset anybody," said Moyles.

I'm a radio 2 Terry Wogan fan, he manages (for me) to make funny interesting programmes without upsetting people. When I was younger I loved radio 1 again all the DJ's managed to make programmes that did not offend anyone.

It's just a joke is said far too often these days to excuse people when they have offended or hurt people.

I think there may be a place for "offensive" humour because people like Bernhard Manning made a living for years but not IMO on our national radio and TV stations

That is so true Julie  

I don't understand why some people think that to be entertaining they have to 'offend' someone else etc
