That sucks.

he said it was his last interactive evening ever so i rang him and asked him why he was leaving he said i couldnt stay forever i said ye but ur good and he said i have to go. Then just before nicks show (mark standing in ) mark asked if he was leaving and phoneboy said cant say but i think him and hallam have had a disagreement though :(

Don't Emap shuffle the DJ's round all their stations? Just to keep the whole thing fresh?

Me neither. Don't want to spoil a good radio station :D

Perhaps he's got a position on Radio 1 - they like their Northern monkeys there. :hihi:

But Radio 2 wouldn't employ Phoneboy. If you've heard Vernon Kay or Sarah Cox you'd know Phoneboy would fit in well.

good riddance - hopefully he'll be on Radio Mongolia

lets just hope hallam replace phoneboy with a decent presenter. i feel sorry for the listeners who are going to acquire the dreadful phoneboy when he moves on. surely he is the worst radio presenter ever.

now come on, although im not a fan of him myself, this really does seem harsh, after all look at some of the drizzle on other emap stations

Stick and stones may break my bones......

I know I have a big listenership, I do actually get to see my audience figures. Admitidelly I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I accept that. If everybody loved you, then that would just be boring.

You guys can say what you want, I've heard worse!

xx

ok point taken. i suppose when you compare him with some of the other rubbish he isnt too bad. his only bad attribute is his voice (the last thing a radio presenter needs is an awful voice). his voice just seems so false. real radios umberto would be a great replacement for phoneboy.

ive heard many people tell me they love his voice, and this being the only reason they listen to him......

its like the old saying (cant believe im comparing this) one means junk is another mans treasure :thumbsup:

good luck for the future phoneboy

i think you forgot to mention that all these people were tone deaf!

I have loathed his show for ages, but just recently the music has got better and he has had less of a laddish attitude.

I got to the stage where I like his show, and no longer switch the radio off when he's on. Why did we have to be the guinea pigs for him to hone his broadcasting skills on before he swans off to entertain others who won't have to suffer as we did? :confused:

Is it really something to celebrate when the educated adults despise your show and the younger 'chav' element are those who adore it. Is appealing to the lowest common denominator something you're proud of?

I really can't stand your show, but fair play to you, maybe you're just incredibly good at appealing to your 'target' audience.

Considering some of the calls you get, I'm not surprised you do have a bit of an audience ;)

Phoneboy I realise you probably dont have a **** anymore , but please dont say hallam now are dumping the sunday session? its taken years to get decent music back on sunday nights.grrr
