Scott mills has had such an emotional and touching show, so professional despite how difficult it may be much as he will be grieving ttoo as someone who’s spent so much time with Liam, hope you are okay Scott!

Greg is certainly the best at dealing with shock news and handled this extremely well this morning

Too much breakfast choice now! All this forums favourites on breakfast. Moyles, Greg, Jordan and Scott (of course we have to listen to Scott though - it’s unofficial mills after all)

Where do you find yourself torn between on favourite shows and presenters across stations across different times of day? With recent changes feel like there’s a perfect daytime lineup of who I try and tune in and out or occasionally channel hop if I had a Rajar diary and had the radio on all day - this is how I’d would probably look at different times of the day 6:00 Jordan Chris and Sian on Capital 6:30-7:00 Chris moyles on radio x (love that opening half hour) 7:00-10:30 Greg on radio1, may occasionally flick to jordan 10:30-1pm - no real radio time, more podcasts (help I sexted, Scott mills , moyles, Greg’s rewinder, Annie and nick sidetracked) 1pm -3:30pm Matt and mollie radio1 3:30-4pm - first half hour of going home on radio 1 4-6pm mistajam on capital dance 6-8pm - Jack Saunders new music show on radio1 Let’s hear your daily schedules

I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “ moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground

Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

My perspective when saying ‘alienating’ was from a listener , a new listener to a new music show where every track is unfamiliar can be alienating. When I used to run a music blog website and took my eye off the ball it could be hard to get finger back on pulse. I remember first listening to after 7pm on radio 1 and it feeling like a different world of music completely as a teenager- I think this format knocks them barriers down and makes a smooth transition from daytime playlists to new music show taking listener deeper down as show progresses yeah you are bang on with setting the agenda - what a great influential role to have

Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter

The music is great , I’d only wish they’d mix the music up more , the playlist is too small and therefore same songs on too often - benson Boone has been on twice in the show today

If it was - Happens a lot alot of Scott and Chris stuff was built with end in mind of big final idea where they wanted to take it and working backwards to lead up to it. Greggs was already sponsoring a competition this week so if it was an “on the fly” add on it would have just been a few bottles of mustard and some next day signage printed out to add onto their trucks and advert space. Global own a lot of advert spaces billboards too so easy for them to do

I’ve loved the new show this week, can really hear how original capital listeners and original radio 1 fans have been brought together and united in this perfect start to the day show. So fun and a great listen What were the stress dreams before starting the new show? Did it ever cross your mind Jordan and Chris you would be working together again after been together when you covered scott? And how’s the reunion been most surreal moment so far?

This is so overdue, although almost to the point where the limbo listeners between radio one and two may already have been lost to commercial I think they could do with a brand new naming and brand approach across the whole radio estate opposed to extension names. Interesting discussion - Like a fantasy schedule - if you had to rename the full bbc radio estate including these new proposals - how would you approach it?

I can only think the reason this hasn’t been announced with others in the shake up is because it’s somebody new who announcing early would be a conflict on interest as they are on other stations James would fit this bill as he seems to do cover for global and radio 1 at the minute with no permanent show as of yet I can see the swap with Sam and danni however as ash said

Vick still has a lot of work outside radio where she may need cover, same for Jamie. makes sense to make Katie a permanent fixture so the show has its intended presenters most of the time, she will be great loved hearing her pair with Jordan and vick

The More I think about it the more I think it’s possible Roman could return to radio for a less demanding role than breakfast which could work alongside his one show commitments and other work it seems him and vick have busy schedules, be a great move by bbc to get him on board Radio1’s maybe presenting a Friday afternoon show with vick - what a switch that would be
