Feeling Guilty - Cox better than Whiley?

Sara is definitely my favourite female DJ. Weird how I used to find her very annoying when I started listening to R1.

I agree Paula- Coxy used to annoy me cos I think she was a bit too loud and in-yer-face for breakfast, but I have really enjoyed her shows at the weekends, and much prefer her to Jo.

to be honest its like saying having a cold is better than having the flu, its not as bad but its still nowhere near ideal.

Several people I know, including myself, feel like Jo needs to stop latching onto anything that young people like in a desperate bid to delay ageing

Sara, while a LOT better than before the second baby, really needs to stop the irritating silly voice she puts on from time to time as it just makes her sound simple. The silly voice works when vernon does it, i dont think it works at all with sara.

having said that they're still a damn sight better than the verbal diahorrea that comes out the Edinburgh stations and XFM

Not impressed with censorship

What makes you say that about Jo?

Like Simon, I think Sara has got "something" in her personality which is warmer and kinder, and just a lot more pleasant. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Jo Whiley reminds me of an office manager : brisk, efficient, knows her stuff, yet somehow leaves me cold! Sorry!

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

I really like sara as well, she has an energy and intelligence about her shows. Maybe she can stay on daytimes in the 1-4 slot, and let Jo and Edith do a jobshare! Edith would have a regular partner to bounce off of, Jo could go back to talking about movies etc, and they could both work their weeks around their families...perfect!

    • 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.
