I can't recall ever listening to a programme he presented.
I've seen him on the telly though, he seems like a typical run-of-the-mill overpaid BBC gobshrite. |

Do funded radio stations need DJ's. Can't they just play music with a bit of news. Surely just playing music is cheaper.

@Dr Crippen -- first reply went wrong.
Radio stations get detailed listener figures. If Evans gets more listeners than breakfast shows on Radio 1, Heart and Capital, he is worth it. If not, he's not. But probably the real sign is whether listenership goes up or down when he is on holiday. Virgin have looked at the ratings and offered him a big sack of cash. If Evans can deliver more listeners to Virgin then Virgin can charge more money for advertising. Simples. And brutal. And takes no account of artistic merit. |

By:
The breakfast show on BBC as always attracted a large following and the BBC doesn't have to attract advertising revenue.
We'll have to see how he gets on at Virgin without a ready made audience of millions. |

By:
Evans was helped by the BBC of course BUT he got more listeners than Wogan did, and overtook Radio 1.

By:
Maybe they could have some kind of competition to find his replacement...and then give the job to some inexperienced American soap star.

By:
Like Dr Crippen, I've never listened to him but certainly contributed to his overblown fees through the license duty.

When I was at school, my Mum would get me up, I'd go down for breakfast, and every morning she'd have Wogan on the radio
 Never been one for the wireless apart from Tommy Vance and The Friday Night Rock show - what a time to put a classic on when you were out partying for the night |

Couldn't they have done it on the kitchen table like most people? |

Will be interesting to see how this pans out, according to the haters his show on Virgin wont be successful. We shall see.
