Going to listen to this show, it sounded as if it had a rough ride!

Goes to show that people like Sara Cox. I think she is great. Its a shame, but she will be back I'm sure.

I think its pretty much covered from the above posts. Apologies if I repeat anything or it seems unclear, do my best to help you out. It might be all over the place but here you go ...
Sometimes you have to bear in mind that if you get a poor time slot, say Friday evenings (which I did at one a few years back) you can end up with no one listening. If this is the case, you have think that you're being listened to by loads of people.
Involving your listeners is a big thing to consider, they like to be involved. Have a look at how any radio show is produced and you'll see that content is key and keeping it fresh throughout.
I know of one person who has done the same show and kept the same features. It maybe that they are happy with how the show is going and he retains his listeners. In order to keep it fresh come up with a pool of ideas.
Something thats not common in Student Radio is having a Producer or production team. Its often hard to get these people together, but if you have a team, it takes the pressure off you as the presenter. Getting a bunch of friends in on the show is a great way of bouncing off each other, furthermore it allows you to focus more on whats important, but stil having having a say in the show.
Know the brand of the station, who it is aimed at and where you are within the station. Find out who listen, when and what they like etc. All depends on the station really. If its the one Greg James went too, then I know its a good set up there with good equipment etc.
You would be wise to have a listen to other shows at your station, and others around the country. Student Radio is being taken seriously now by Commericial and the BBC etc. Look at Greg James for example, he's one of the first to be really taken seriously in terms of fresh out of uni. He knows what to do
Will write back with more soon.

The following article is taken from Radio Today Mailout - 14 Sept 09
A week ago, when Chris Moyles was crowned longest serving breakfast presenter on Radio 1, Sir Terry Wogan announced it would soon be all-change on Radio 2. Whether the announcement was planned or merely damage control following the leak by the Mail on Sunday - the news that Chris Evans will replace Wogan at breakfast gatecrashed Radio 1's party.
The Daily Mail immediately attempted to drum up a riot on a scale not seen since the last time they went for the Corporation's jugular. They had a point though - such a change in breakfast personal will be significant for the audience. There will be a swathe of listeners incandescent over Wogan's planned departure, who will subsequently switch off or worse, switch over - benefiting breakfast shows across the country. Audiences will begin trialling other stations and commercial radio ratings may enjoy a modest lift for a quarter or two.
It will be short-lived. Evans on Radio 2 will be a disaster for commercial radio. Like Moyles, he's a radio person through-and-through; he understands the medium and how to carry his audience, and he lives for the thrill of breakfast radio. Anybody who remembers his Radio 1 show will know how much verve and creativity he'll attack the airwaves with, and how capable he is of grabbing headlines; indeed, the audience that adored him 14 years ago is now is the perfect age to wake up with him once more.
Evans' transfer to breakfast is brilliant news for Radio 2, but it's not only commercial radio he poses a threat to; there's no real way the BBC can continue to justify Moyles staying on as the breakfast presenter on Radio 1. Understand what we mean here; we are huge fan of Moyles - he cares about his craft and has worked his way up the ladder to,as far as most presenters are concerned, the biggest gig in the country - so this isn't a criticism on Moyles, but of BBC management.
Evans moving to breakfast will mean the average age of Radio 2's audience will drop further, and together with Radio 1 the two services will suck the 25-to-45 year-old market bone dry. The corporation will have no excuse for Radio 1 not to better serve teens and young adults with more relevant and tightly-focused output. We certainly don't believe a presenter has to be of a similar age to the audience to identify with them - that would be a nonsensical train of thought for authors and filmmakers to follow, and the same is true of radio. However Moyles's position at the helm of a station that must focus on teens and adults five years older is only justifiable while his running mate is a 71 year-old broadcasting veteran; that surely can't be the case once Evans, just eight years older than Moyles, is on air at the same time.
Perhaps Radio 1 and Radio 2 will cannibalise one another and commercial radio will benefit from the quarrelling, but that's unlikely. Moyles and Evans will grab even more headlines and starve commercial radio of more audience - not because the BBC offering is naturally superior or commercial radio cares more for profit than its audience, but because the publicly-funded BBC has reverted to trampling over the commercial landscape without giving a damn.
It'd be far easier to assume the BBC already has plans for Moyles, but that would suggest a display of joined-up thinking rarely seen at the Corporation. Either way, we're sorry to be a party-pooper, but last week's celebration probably won't be celebrated next year, and nor should it.

Broadcaster Chris Evans says he "acted like a spoilt child" when he presented BBC Radio 1's breakfast show.
During his two years on the show, Evans was often late for work and sometimes failed to turn up. He left in 1997.
"I knew that for the first time in my career I had really messed up. I should have known better," Evans, 43, said.
He is taking over the Radio 2 breakfast show from Sir Terry Wogan next year and made the comments in his autobiography, being serialised in the Mail On Sunday.

I remember his shows ... They were okay, when he turned up!

the coroner has said that the sun's story is wrong, & exactly what i though, after the autopsy the coroner said that he was surprised by how fit & healthy Jacko was, the sun is full of crap & just trying to sell papers by lying
Understatement of the year!

Oh no, this can't be true, can it?

Maybe Edith is planning to do a Josef Fritzl and lock Jo Whiley away, when she next comes around for dinner?

To be fair, even if Radio 1 did have corridors, would the two egos be able to pass each other without causing problems?
Jono - you geek.

I'm unable to watch this. There is something about Moyles on tv that just isn't right. It was the same for Live with ... a few years back.
It's unbearable.

I would imagine most of the people here aren't old enough to drink?

Huh?

Pointless thread, yes?

Emlyn,
What brand of shampoo do you use?

Alan,
Not a nice thing to say, considering it will effect their families etc. Despite it being not the best paper in the world, it seems unfair to celebrate job loses.

Obama has got a bit of stick about his comparing his Bowling schools to the special Olympics, on this show.

You'll find that Facebook bows to pressure in due course.
