I didn't like Moyles, but there was no denying he was/is a very natural radio presenter. However, he had two major problems.
1. He wasn't as funny as he thought he was, which led to him being particularly grating.
2. He was obsessed with 'celebrity'....In fact, he is probably the poster boy of the dumbed down generation which has been created in the last decade or so (X Factor, Big Brother, Heat magazine, etc)....His relationships with similarly lacking-in-talent-yet-somehow-famous types like Davina McCall, Cheryl Cole, etc have only served to highlight how needy his own delicate ego obviously is, as he would lick backside like no other when these folk were about, yet would play the big superstar to more normal people, and would often apppear to bully anybody who spoke out against him.
Ultimately, he was a very polished presenter (compared to some of the other poop you hear on the radio), but he just wasn't as good or funny as he would like to believe he was.
And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....
Can't say I've listened to any radio station other than 6 Music in the last year or 2. What I like about 6 is the feeling that the presenter/DJ is playing what they like and you get a more personal feeling.
at 1 etc. I suspect you are told to play so much of whoever flavour of the month is. Moyles was only doing his job, and by the sound of it he was doing alright

I tend to listen to smooth radio at that time in the morning. Simon Bates is cringeworthy and the embodiment of Dave Nice, but he does play some good music.

I do like the idea of it and I like to try and answer as many as possible, but I think Ken Bruce's delivery is really flat and slow - I've always thought that though, everyone else I speak to loves him.
