Thrilled for Chopper. Feels like yesterday since it was 2000 and he was just doing the sports bits on Newsbeat. It's naturally the right move as he's been doing MOTD 2 anyway.

Dark days for radio. We are now a far cry away of the days what inspired me, in the late 90s and early 00s. I know things move on but this also lessens the chance for the next gen of radio superstars to work their way up.
Ofcom are taking the shackles off. Well let's say they were basically tied to the wall beforehand. From stations running a community licence. Hopefully the talent can shine and develop there.

The usual "bring back Steve Wright" window lickers all over the place again with Scott's last afternoon show.
Will be a good job when the day comes that they end up in a home and have their phones taken away.
Won't be long now, graveyard is to your left I hope Scott smashes breakfast and puts the ratings through the roof.
Good luck to him, I'll listen when I'm on earlies! On the radio 2 moanagram.
I actually tried to organise a seance to bring back Steve Wright and also Desmond Carrington who died in 2017. To do the breakfast show instead of Scott as a double act.

Moyles needs to come over to radio 2
He’d fit in well now with Vernon, Scott and Sara and even trevor
Don't think Radio 2 could handle Moyles tbh even these days

This has been coming for a long time with Scott on breakfast. Although I will miss him on afternoons, I won't hear much of him that time of the morning sadly.

My sister had a Citroen Saxo back then too!
I wanted to buy it back and paint some go faster stripes on it. But apparently it was last on the road in 2017.

It sounds like a combination of factors. Some say the playlist is too repetitive, they've moved away from a lot of dance, and the older audience enjoy Kisstory instead, and just the fact there are so many dance stations out there. With the station now moving off FM I'm guessing that slide will continue.
Kisstory is a mainstay on my presets these days. Back when I first passed my driving test in 2007 I had a dab unit installed in my Citroen Saxo (brap brap yo yo yo etc). At that time Kiss was always on in the car, I tried it again recently, without the Saxo. And I couldn't stay on it for more than 10 minutes. Kisstory will probably eventually end up the bigger station than the parent.

I agree with the Russian spammer who just posted. You remove background noise by invading another country.

Mollie King and Maya Jama I simply connect with Radio 1 and nothing else. I know of nothing they did beforehand frankly. Maybe it's because I don't follow what they may have been involved in beforehand. Or a generational thing.
It's a small career risk if your already a celeb doing a radio 1 show, if it doesn't work out it's all forgotten in month nowdays. Hence why the likes of Kelly Osbourne couldn't of cared less if she turned up or not in the late 00s. You end up back on TV or something. Your not going to end up on hospital radio (nothing wrong there btw), if it doesn't work.
The thing is where does this all leave the next generation of wannabe Radio 1 DJ's who don't have that TV platform, or even social media platform? That avenue is an overcrowded house anyway. Maybe, like Steve Wright was, they aren't into being on camera but come alive behind a radio mic.
In 1997 an overweight 20 something year old bloke made his way to early breakfast on radio 1, and got promoted from within. Seems like now the likes of him, and even a raw circa 2007/8 Greg James would have a harder time to get to the top. You could even put Annie Mac into that convo. She was a producer in 2001/2, that ended up taking over from Zane Lowe a decade on when he left.
Without going on, let me ask you this simply. If a circa 1998 Scott Mills went for a job at Radio 1, today. As good as he was even then. Do you think he would even get a look in?

Thing is with TV presenters they have already halfway worked their way there in a very similar industry. I mean times where celebs are just bought in because of their name and it's a kick in the balls to very good presenters already out there. Some examples do deserve a chance, Jarvis Cocker with 6 Music for example. But picking the ones who just sit there and giggle at stupid jokes with no proper content, I've found there's been way too much of over the past 2 decades or so.

Nice quote here from him:
Walker left half a century of broadcasting with some critical thoughts on the industry. “It always used to be: you learned your radio craft,” he said. “A lot of people started off on local stations and gradually sort of worked their way up. And I think nowadays it seems to be the way to get radio shows is to get a television one first.
“Because you’re good on TV doesn’t automatically mean you’re going to be good on the radio, but that’s the way it is. We’re in the age of celebrity.”
You know what. He's absolutely spot on, I couldn't agree more.
First thing I thought of was about 15 years ago when Kelly Osbourne was handed a Radio 1 show, I mean come on. She never turned up half the time anyway. Radio people need to be like him, Scott, Chris Moyles and Greg James for the more recent generations. You need to have a passion for radio, work your way up and gain experience.

Awful, you don't know whats going on in peoples minds sometimes. Not saying what he did was intentional. But it's emerged with the state of the room he was in and what the staff were saying, that something was seriously going wrong.

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!

On a station I do some bits for in wolves. A presenter dug out his old chat with Liam from 2010 and we replayed it earlier. Just as he was setting out on the x factor

Interesting that the station has virtually been in obit mode this morning with a couple of features dropped… makes sense tho as I can’t really think of the last artist whose death would’ve had such an impact
Probably Amy Winehouse in 2011.

I can imagine Scott may play night changes once more on the wireless after this news.
I'm not a 1D fan. But I come from Wolverhampton, and Liam went to school about a couple of mile away from where I live. This news has struck wolves hard, he alongside Noddy holder from the olden days. Are our biggest champions. Terrible news.

I'm sure there will be people moaning. If anyone leaves radio 2 to retire or simply die whilst still there, it's usually someone's fault. That said, happy retirement to him!

It seems Global are launching Capital Anthems this week. It's a bit exhausting how everyone's chasing the same audiences.
I find it amazing how they just whack out these national DAB slots left right and center for these spin off stations that seem to have a short shelf life.

Norman Jay used to be the main man of this back in the day.

Radio 1's Current Emergency Tape Playlist?
in BBC Radio 1
Posted
Wonder they haven't added Outkast Hey Ya for a laugh. Years ago you knew when Radio 1 was off air simply by hearing that alone.
