How much do you listen to Radio 1?

I thought this would be really interesting to see.  How much do you listen to Radio 1 on a daily basis?  How does it fit into your daily routine? Does anyone listen through the day every/most days?  I really look forward to finding out.  Let’s see who listens the most.

I used to listen much more, but the lack of daily routine you have as a student isn't conducive to regular listening.

I never miss a Mills podcast, and on top of that his show is the one I most often listen to live as well. Greg I hear a bit of as well, although I alternate between him and Capital Yorkshire so don't listen every day. Clara I hear a fair bit of but again, not every day and Grimmy I listen to depending on what else I'm doing. At the weekends I usually catch Matt and Molly in their last hour, then most of Maya/Jordan and a bit of Dev and Alice too. So basically I don't listen that much at the moment except for Scott - which I didn't quite realise until I wrote this post. I used to listen much more - breakfast and drive every day when I was at school.

Yeah, Capital Yorkshire is really funny in the mornings sometimes.  I always find Greg a bit bland in the mornings, (he was amazing on drive) but still listen most mornings, same for Matt and Mollie, from whenever I wake up (around 8am).  Scott I hear a lot live, never a dull moment during that show, Clara too, but I swap over to Will Manning sometimes, because Clara gets a bit boring.  Grimmy I hear a fair amount, even though that show isn’t the best, it’s gotta be a temporary thing, bring on Jordan North drivetime!  I listen to Annie, Dev and Jack a bit in the evenings sometimes, depending on what I’m doing.  Weekends, Dev and Alice I seem to catch a lot,  Jordan too, and Maya, but I can’t believe she’s got such a prominent slot over people like Jordan and Matt.

Up in the West Midlands we get a local station called Free Radio the breakfast show on there is brill so sometimes listen to that sometimes Greg maybe Moyles.

Call me sad as its 2019, But I actually still own a radio So virtually it’s on when I’m home if I’m not on here or listening to old radio shows or random shows. I used to listen to the 8th with Sloth than Dev but that bores me now it’s so awkward it’s not funny anymore. It’s not Dev he just doesn’t suit the format. So I’ve been listening to random stations off DAB like Kisstory or Virgin Anthems(New) 

I used to catch drive but don’t listen anymore now Grimmys there. Sometimes catch it in the car but only sometimes. Last time I heard him he had his reporter Sinead at the NTAS so about 3/4 Weeks ago now. Normally dip in and out to Mistajam on a sat.  If I’m not busy that’s is

If im awake(It’s the weekend lol, Who wants to get up early?) might catch an hour of Matt and Mollie. Sometimes I put Maya on as background noice.

Cant stand the rock show don’t mind Pete or Tiffany if I’m in bed tired so on Sunday normally I flick over to Kissstory.

Im at work most days so miss Clara ,Scott. But listen to the podcasts for Mills.  Rarely listen on a weekend apart from Matt And Mollie sometimes other shows in the car.

When Ricky Melvin and Charlie finally arrive I’ll give them a listen and if they got Rid of the rock show I will listen to more R1 at night.

I suppose they need the rock show for those fans, and it’s on a very off peak slot. Dev on The 8th, I go back and forth with, it’s not great, but it’s nice having him on weekdays, to be honest I’d have preferred him to get drive for an interim period rather than Grimshaw.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • 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
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
