Don’t particularly like his style but a great broadcaster who has filled the shoes of Wogan well with great ratings. Will be missed by the BBC.
Going to Virgin, new challenge I thought. Until, on the news I learned it’s owned by Murdoch.
How has he filled Wogan's shoes? How many Wogan listeners left Radio2 eight years ago? The ratings don't tell us that. He gets 9m listeners because 67% of the adult population wake up to radio and Radio2 is the most listened to radio station. He is not a great broadcaster. He is a self centered, loud mouthed, egotistical, sycophantic, obsequious bully.

He's an out and out tosser, but apparently a very popular one.
I'll stick with Radio 4 - now where's my pipe and slippers?
Eddie Mair started on LBC today Bob. One of the best radio broadcasters around.
Hopefully he'll knock that arrogant, narcissistic buffoon, James O'Brien off his self-appointed pedestal!
I hate him , proper hate him, I think the bloke is in need of a serious kicking he manages to send my blood pressure through the roof and I have to turn it off, James o brien or Roland two shit chalets in a burning house and 1 to save
It would be the hardest choice I would have to make and II ain’t sure O’Brien would be saved

Eddie Mair was great real acquisition for LBC
So I can put you down as a ‘maybe’ as a regular listener to his new Virgin show then mate?
9m listeners and I've not met one of them! Where are they all hiding?
I occasionally listen; mainly if I'm on a long car journey with colleagues. My personal preference would be Radio 4, but that doesn't go down with everyone. Radio 2, and and the likes of Evans, are a bit more anodyne. Not a lot of people's first choice and certainly nothing to talk about, but inoffensive enough to draw a bland consensus of non-dislike.
The bloke is a grade a prick needs a proper good hiding
He may well be right on many things but the way in which he puts it a cross is disgusting and disrespectful
Really? He gives people plenty of time to explain where their coming from, and when they fail he pulls them apart, if callers can't deal with a bit of healthy challenge to their opinions, they should stop being such snowflakes.
