  1. I think it's a bit weird they've gone from promoting 'BBC Radio 1' to creating new 1tros with just 'Radio 1' in it. But I rather like them so I'm not complaining.

    A very small amount of 1tros have alternative versions created so its up to the station sound team to decide which ones to use. For example 'Good Girls Go Bad' and 'Watcha Say' has a sung version and a version minus vox. I think the ones used so far fit well with the song, and lets face it the sonic logo of ray-de-oh-one is far more catchy and memorable than if BBC was tagged on the front. The jingle tune has been around for almost 13 years now as it first aired in some imaging in 1997, so its pretty well established. If it aint broke, don't fix it!

  2. Does anyone have any idea what happened to tonight's Newsbeat?

    Newsbeats suffering from technical difficulties upstairs, i imagine lines going down, computers and servers crashing. The 5.45 bulletin was just a short 3min format, but when Greg handed over to Sam - instead of headlines she mentioned newsbeat are suffering from technical problems, and therefore cant bring the normal programme. Maybe the facebook/twitter hack has got into the Radio 1 computers! :D

  3. maybe thats what the bosses are giving her experience via the weekend breakfast show :hahaha:

    i think it will be his last, however it will be more than just Moyles leaving, he will be the last of the old school dj's to present the R1 breakfast show.

    How do you define 'old school djs', you referring to DJs at Radio 1 from the past decade of Parf Daddy's era, or DJ's who are actual DJ's and not just TV personalities such as Fearne and Grimmy?

    If the latter, I'm sure there will be many more true 'old school style' DJ's to join Radio 1 and present the breakfast show, regardless of demographic targets. They're probably just budding on student radio or community stations somewhere!

  4. I think he's been good so far. I never listen to the radio after I finish work so have never heard him on the radio before.

    Are you insane?! Grimshaw doing Changing Tracks just then, just shows he isnt made for daytime radio. He had no sincerity about him, and his voice grates me I'm afraid to say.

  5. No idea, i got sent them.

    They arn't taken from the on-air output otherwise they would be compressed, which they arn't.

    Dont complain, they where asked for.

    I'm not complaining! Just saying you can hear the transition of fading out of the onetro [before the voiceover kicks in] into the actual song in some of the tracks, so I assume this is the case.
