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.

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
