I have managed to find the cure for the misery though - if you like to listen to chat on the radio in bed at night as you drop off to sleep, buy yourself a Roberts 3-band Sports radio and you will never again have to suffer the drone of Adebayo, as the Roberts is powerful enough to pick up TalkSport.
Since purchasing a Roberts just before last Christmas, I'm delighted to say I have not had to suffer Adebayo for one second since. Yippee!
Without doubt it's Dotun Bleedin' Adebayo!I have managed to find the cure for the misery though - if you like to listen to chat on the radio in bed at night as you drop off to sleep, buy yourself a Roberts 3-band Sports radio and you will never again
Can't make my mind up between max rushden or weekend breakfast on talksport with Georgie Bingham and Micky Quinn. Their attempts at humour and light hearted banter and features are absolutely awful.

Steve Allen LBC radio 4am-6.30am Mon to Fri.This bloke loves the sound of his own voice so much he could eat himself.Bangs on every morning about how $hit Peter Andre is and how fat Gemma out of t.o.w.i.e is.His latest pet word is "spike".He never tires of telling the listener how at 4am the radio station "spikes"when he takes to the airwaves.Refuses to take calls because he can't stand criticism and basically drones on and on about nothing in particular,interspersed by self congratulatory e mails and twitter comments from some old Doris on the balls pond rd.
P.s. Chris Evans is a sht/hd behind Allen.

Adebayo is indeed a cretin. Alan Green is by rote a whiner and a bully but doesn't present anymore, only 'commentatates' (for want of a better word) and can be good on rowing and golf when his ego subsides. Chris Evans is unbearable when pushing his godawful 'Carfest' but on 5 Live, Richard Bacon truly boils my p1ss.

There's some right Herberts on TalkSport, BB, but I'd rather listen to them than Adebayo.
I don't really want to listen to anything too interesting in the early hours of the morning. I just like having the radio on very low, with chat on, so it sends me to sleep. When Rhod Sharp is on (especially when he's with Dr Karl) I sometimes find stuff so interesting that I turn the radio up just to listen - which isn't what I'm trying to achieve! So, I reckon if I listened to the world service it'd produce the same thing.
I'll stick with the Herberts!

No matter how low I'd have Adebayo on (so I could barely hear the idiot) he'd still say things that would annoy me so much I'd end up ranting and cursing at him - which is not sleep inducing at all!
I've even slept on the sofa at times, specifically not to hear him: "Oh Christ, it's Saturday night. I just can't bear the thought of going to bed and listening to that idiot tonight"

Nick, Adebayo doesn't do that - he's so busy trying to make one of his turgid comments, or his appalling jokes (which he repeats about 3 times over because no one ever laughs, so he thinks they haven't heard) that few people get chance to speak.

There too many bad presenters,e.g Rachel Burden, Victoria Derbyshire and Richard Bacon from (radio 5 live). Collin Murray, Alan Brazil, Andy Goldstein (talksport)

Used to love the late night 5 live show that Tony Livesey did

John Gaunt, absolutely bloody awful, egotist and all round tw@t who's mo was to ridicule those who disagreed with him and to brag about his time when he promoted The Specials. Did he ever tell you how he went bankrupt, then got back on his feet? YES! A fudging million times. A horrible little Englander who wasn't fit to lace the boots of the great Mike Dicken.

Clearly everyone is too sensible to listen to Radio 1!
I have no problem whatsoever with Bacon. I think that he's quite good.
Derbyshire is perfectly adequate (can get a bit sanctimonious though).
The two real shockers for me are Jo Whiley and Jeremy Vine.
I actually quite liked Colin Murray on Radio 1's late night show, but he was terrible on MotD and Fighting Talk.

I don't ever listen to commercial radio because I can't deal with the adverts.
For some reason I don't give a monkeys about TV ads, but radio ads drive me round the bend.

Durham and Gough - end of discussion. I like Mickey Quinn, Colin Murray and Richard Bacon.

Of course Moyles was 'the daddy' of obnoxious, self promoting, annoying hosts. However, Alex thingy,(the Welsh sl@pper from the One Show)[Radio 2 holiday relief] is like a painful operation without anaesthetic. If I hear Graham Norton pause,say aaaaaaaaaaaah, then laugh at his own 'jokes' I will implode!!!

Somebody earlier did not like Jane Garvey. I liked her when she worked with Peter Allen. I thought they made a good team, first on Breakfast and later on Drive. However, I question her judgment - she was married to Adrian Chiles.
My most annoying presenter is Nicky Campbell, a smug (thinks he's funny) smart@rse!

Poor Chiles has to pander to the mentality of the average football supporter whereby if you say something slightly unusual you are met with a furrowed brow and the possibility of violence...maybe even from fellow presenters.

MadVlad agree with you on half your post paul hawksbee is on a different level to his giggling , unfunny sidekick who can't even string a long sentence together off the auto cue without making a horlicks of it tune ion at 1.05pm weekdays and you will see where I'm coming from

I like hawksbee and jacobs. Whilst he's not funny in himself, Andy Jacobs grumpiness, chuckling and willingness to boot the boot in where required makes him a good sidekick.
Sam Delaney and Max Rushton are absolutely dire, but Dan Lobb was even worse when did some summer cover on talksport.

The Two Mikes, aka Mike Parry and Mike Parry on Extra Time on TalkSport, late at night/early in the morning, sometimes has me laughing my head off - like this morning, when Parry was on about 'powdered alcohol' and people sprinkling it on their tuna sandwiches at lunchtime instead of going to the pub.
It was such a wonderfully rambling, bizarre description that I was chuckling in my bed and couldn't drop off to sleep!
I've just found that you can listen in to all the TalkSport shows again online if you click the 'menu' tab, then 'listen live' and then click 'listen again'.

Sounds like he's still coming up with his outlandish ideas.
Mike said he would be able to survive a plane crash by jumping, putting his atms into the crucifix position and gliding safely to the ground

Hahaha! I can imagine, Nick! I've only discovered him this last few months and some of the things he comes out with are so funny I'm chucking even hours later if the thought of what he's said pops back into my head.
He was on for three hours last night with Mike Graham. The best 3 hours worth of nonsense worth listening to!

James is usually very good except when he goes on about "being married is the height of exquisiteness"
and the fact that he is still a believing catholic even though he was treated badly by the priests at the top catholic public school, Ampleforth, where abusers were later found to have operated.

I think Chris Evans is quite inventive and don't mind him at all. I met a girl who used to be his p.a. once and she thought he was a wonderful employer and very generous with it. I think Richard Bacon's quite good and Jane Harvey, Victoria Derbyshire (who has a lovely voice) and Adrian Chiles aren't bad either. It goes without saying that all Talksh1te presenters are unbearable and I can't bring myself to listen to them. I find Nicky Campbell an arrogant slimeball and Steve Wright, like Chris Moyles, with their self-congratulatory emails cringe making and should have been pensioned off years ago.

Never thought I'd see the day that someone would describe Victoria Derbyshire as 'not bad.' She's fecking awful. Never been a fan of Chris Evans but he's not nearly as bad as he used to be. He's almost bearable these days.
