Out of date, needs updating. Rachel Horne no longer on show, podcast is daily not weekly, features are out of date amongst other things. I don't have enough time to do the update.

Jingles

(With particular reference to those who wish to include information about the "Noah jingles") Please use this section to explain why you think it should be included, whereas information about the Wise Buddah music jingles, sound-bites from others (Bob Harris, David Jacobs, etc) and cheers are not. In my opinion, you have to either mention all or mention nothing. Just focusing on one particular part of the whole show soundscape seems a bit pointless unless you mention the rest of it.

Stand in Presenters

Recently, the pattern has been that there has been an update to this section of the page whenever Chris is away even for a day or two. My question for discussion is whether this level of detail is actually needed? Already the section is nearly as long as the rest of the article put together and if we continue at this rate it'll only get longer. My proposal is to bring it in line with most other radio show articles (Simon Mayo Drivetime, Steve Wright in the Afternoon, etc) and simply have a list of people who have stood in on the show. More detail can go into noteworthy periods (when Chris lost his voice earlier in the year, the controversy over Miranda Hart and John Holmes, etc) but in general I don't think we need a complete list of whenever Chris was on holiday. If nobody has any objections I or someone else can implement this change by the beginning of June. Aw16 (talk) 11:50, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As nobody has objected to this, I will implement the change immediately. Aw16 (talk) 14:48, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Worded like an advert

The last part of Virgin Radio UK version seems to be worded like an advert for the show. Is that against Wikipedia's rules?

Here: Every Friday join Chris and the team for highlights from the best breakfast show on the air, plus exclusive content and uncut interviews. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast to never miss an episode. Jossdickie (talk) 11:55, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to change or delete the wording. Jossdickie (talk) 11:59, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this has been written like an advert. Particularly the links to social media and how to listen Northamptoner10 (talk) 19:22, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This page has repeatedly been updated by Virgin Radio themselves which I think I'd against Wikipedia rules Northamptoner10 (talk) 19:26, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Northamptoner10 for making those changes to their page. Jossdickie (talk) 18:40, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
