Yes, good on you doing your own music blog website. I get that point with the 100% all new music can be alienating but think thats more if the station were to do more totally new bands and artists the thing that new music shows that preceded Jack have always have reflected big artists national and international who have been around for a while be that few years to a decade or two whether playing new stuff from artists to Dua Lipa, Coldplay or Nia Archives.
I find its bizarre how music curation has changed a lot in the last decade as what I like of what radio can do well is that ability to hear an audible description of a new artist and information about their music with sense of opinion and thought from the presenter and an interview with the switch to sound features and spotify playlists. It’s not that same magazine effect that Steve Lamarq and Jo Whiley could be an audible magazine show like the NME to Zane Lowe’s radio 1 show complimenting Gonzo which Saunders has revived for MTV

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
 

I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.

Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 

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

Capital Radio's breakfast presenters have been really chuffed with the lovely comments you've left about the programme, and they want to give something back. So next week they've offered to come on the forums and answer some of your questions. Get your thinking caps on and post your questions for Chris and Jordan here. And who knows, they might rope Sian into it too. They'll have the licence to answer what they want, and I'm sure you have plenty of questions!

Got to wonder if the new Radio 1 station had existed sooner if Scott would have fronted it.
It's an ambitious plan, at a time when I thought they'd be looking into closing stations, or not investing in DAB. I wonder if Radio 1 Relax will go?
Anyway, it's good to see - and I realise it'll be a minor cost involved.

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

I can’t see it been so late
When sonny left it was almost instant
i think we can expect an announcement Monday morning with Jordan been brought into the studio and perhaps romans last week
Reading between the lines on global marketing of the show from capital breakfast with Roman Kemp to “with Roman , Chris and Sian “ was a subtle hint to less focus on all been about Roman
 
when a bbc show changes it gets a whole new feel, capital seem to like a gradual approach to keep listeners already established 
global seems a more long term plan for presenters now, nothing to say he couldn’t go to radio x in a few years to succeed moyles after the capital breakfast gig
 
Ironic that commercial radio was just a few years ago awash with celebs without a radio career crowbarred into one, now it seems a little of the opposite

I’d not be upset if it were to close, it’s hard to keep up or find topics discussed in there after they’ve been posted a while. Thanks for all you do Jono keeping this website alive and us radio nerds a place

A load of archive content has arrived on bbc sounds, including grimmy’s show with Annie that they did to celebrate 50 years of her on the station. 

Maybe drive when Jordan and Katie take over?
I don’t think vick will go back to breakfast 

Actual LOL at Jordan and Scott just now:
Jordan: oh god, they're gonna send me back to local radio - oh wait, all the jobs have gone.
Scott: it's all coming from London now babes, Rock FM's not on anymore.

Is anyone else listening to the comedy podcasts?
I quite enjoyed the Ed and Lauren Get On podcast (which has recently finished) due to their funny but down to earth style. It just feels very relaxed and I could see this being brought back as they seem to be quite natural on the radio. General discussions about the funny side of life in a great partnership of real-world comedians. Niki and Sammy's Peachy Podcast however hasn't been great as they spend most of the time talking about themselves and often have to have guests for the show to sound entertaining - it seems very similar to Grimmy's show - forced fun, reliance on guests and awful features (description friction in this case). They are just run-of-the-mill youtubers though so no great expectations here! Scott and Chris' Best in Show is great, replaying games and features from the past couple of years, I t would be better though if they went back even further to things we won't all remember or have heard before bu overall, it works well and is a great idea as a lot of radio is never repeated but Scott's show deserves to be promoted in this way due to its long history for being so entertaining. The Kench podcast will feature many shorter series', the current of which being Ray Moss - No Stone Unturned. This is very different from the others as it is a fictional, light-hearted detective series in which he tries to investigate mock-up cases sent in by listeners. It seems very good in the way the stories are quite funny and interesting and he is a great character. So all in all these new podcasts are a great addition to the R1 collection and I would recommend them to people who enjoy the existing podcasts. In my eyes a much better idea than the constant documentaries and R1 takeover's we were bombarded in this slot before!

To be honest, this is probably going to be good for Matt as they both worked really well together when she was on. I'm looking forward to hearing more of this!
Maybe that toilet gag persuaded the bosses of R1 to add her to the schedule!

I mean as far as schedule changes go this isn't as dramatic as I expected this year's overhaul to be - no one has been binned!
It seems to say a lot about Radio 1 that Scott's had a boost from this news, he seemed a natural fit for the chart show from his cover stints in the past. Not sure what to make of the fact Maya lasted only a few months working with Scott and Chris though!
Will the chart show now return to a 3 hour show rather than the weird reboot it has been in more recent years?
I wonder if this is Ben Cooper's way of getting the wage bill down - presumably Grimmy will be getting less now unless they're expecting the usual Friday hosts to do some more elsewhere. 
Jordan is great, it's a shame we're not hearing more of him, but Mollie King and Matt Edmondson are a good match.

How'd you guess? I should probably lay off, she's not the devil. Although she has now been bumped from Rage for Molly King.

I’m also liking Jordan covering but he seems to be playing LOADS more songs than Greg does (and even Dev when he covers) 

Loving Sophie's recent appearances. The overeating thing was very funny. She reminds me of Beccy. They should get her on more. Weird that Scott seems to make his APs sit outside the studio now, unless it was just for effect on the radio. Otherwise I don't see why they'd do the whole thing through talkback instead of getting her on a mic.

Some of these sound great including the Ray Moss one and the Matt Edmondson one because they both sound like they could both be hilarious 

“Finding Beccy’s forte”
wHOOOOOO!

Number 1 for dance and RnB - Galaxy 105 - whooooooo!
