Chris Evans is leaving Radio 2

I can’t stand his style of presenting, especially at that time of day. Too manic and almost slapstick, so I’m delighted he’s moving on. I tried listening for a bit when he took over, but just couldn’t, he sets my teeth on edge.

Who I’d REALLY like is Liza Tarbuck who makes me laugh more than any other dj but that won’t happen. She has a show Saturday early evening, but not all the time.

Me too, kittylester and Jane10 - no one forces you to listen so don't if you don't like him! there are plenty of other stations to chose from. I find local radio presenters irritating! At least Chris has done a lot of good raising money for Children In Need. He was talking about who might replace him and mentioned Sara Cox as a front runner - I for one will be re-tuning to Virgin Radio if that's who it will be in the mornings!

I would listen to it if Lisa Tarbuck was on. I think she’s great.

People like Chris Evans is the reason I do not listen to the radio.

Yes its the shouting and screeching that offends me- I am delicate flower in the morning and can only tolerate Classic FM these days until I feel stronger then switch to Midnight Café Radio- nice and bluesy and a bit retro back the Classic at bedtime (10pm) for some lovely meditative restful stuff before sleep.

Oh dear, and when I saw his photo on the front page of the Times today, I thought who is that elderly man?

I love the Liza Tarbuck show too Bazza I look forward to hearing her Saturday evening show, she is so funny and has a fabulously varied play list .

Radio 4 for me but radio 3 on weekends and at 12 noon (can't stand You and Yours) , unless home Front is on, when I switch to 3 at 12.15. Nothing I've ever heard or seen of CE appeals.

I am also some one who turn off radio 2 cos of Chris Evans.
It would be lovely if Zoe ball got the job as she was 1st on radio 1 .
Don't like Sarah Cox voice.
Lisa tarbuck would be lovely too.

Yes so can I when he took over from Sir Terry my then alarm clock radios would only work on Radio 2 so had to buy a new one just to be able to have radio on whilst getting ready for work.
Just a note of caution we dont yer know who the repgacement will be

Glad I’m not the only one! Always found him very irritating and full of self importance.
Can I throw the cat amongst the pigeons and say I don’t like Lenny Henry much either?!

I don't listen to him or radio 2 but I don't like him at all and can't understand why he's paid so much.

I don't turn the radio on until 9.30am. CE gives me pains all over, as does that awful, awful, Davina McColl. She took over from KB a few years back, after the 11.30am chat with JV about what would be on his programme at 12, she called JV back and said, 'You're awesome'. I almost threw up.

Lisa Tarbuck is the forever Radio 2 early morning girl for me. Shall we start an on-line petition?

Quite agree paddyann, too much chatting and not enough music, apart from Steve Wright in the afternoon love the banter in there.
I get a bored so have to turn it over at 12 not stop chat for an hour. drives me loopy.

Another Ken Bruce and Steve Wright fan here. I turn off Chris Evans and Jeremy Vine.
I would like Scott Mills from Radio 1 for the breakfast show, my sort of humour.

I stopped listening to him a year or so ago, as it’s all me me me and why does he bring his kids in? Not keen on Sarah Cox either, but Zoe Ball or Trevor Nelson would be great. Definiy time for a change.

I like him and will miss him when he goes.

I vote for Cerys Matthews. I love it when she fills in on Radio 2 ????.

Sorry I but I actually love listening to Chris Evans...I guess his humour is just mine too? Having said that I enjoyed Terry Wogan also. Also remember Sarah Kennedy at some point who I loved also. If I wake up laughing...I love it ha ha

I am thinking of starting a new thread about Good Morning presenters. My main gripe is NOT surprising Piers Morgan but bloody Kate - I love myself - Garroway! How does that woman ever get away from speaking about herself????

I am surprised this is such 'big' news. I suppose when talentless reality show personalities also make the news, and these nonentities 'star' in shows which are complete dross and an insult to the viewing public (imo) someone most of us know, like Evans, might be a tad newsworthy.

I have tried but cannot warm to him unfortunately. His ego just seems to come across too often and I hate the way he name drops continuously and talks about his family and so turns them into minor royalty. His taking over after the inimitable Terry Wogan was controversial and newsworthy but Evans leaving - meh. Not bothered.

I too love the warm voice and humour of Lisa Tarbuck but I also enjoy listening to Craig Charles. He's very good.

I may find the Radio Two channel again. I’m getting a bit fed up with Radio Four’s gloom and doom.

Yes, over the last year or so I have found much of the stuff on Radio Four slightly depressing. It's become almost too earnest...

Now let's get rid of Jeremy Vine- another full of himself. Does not listen to the people who phone in.
