it's a bidding process, so companies like Wise Buddah and Music 4 will send in their demos to hope to be broadcast. i spotted on the live camera a while ago that music 4 made the newsbeat imaging for this year. its a bit disappointing that they aren't putting much on their website, though.

i have some of them, so PM me with your email and if you can offer me something, I will send them over...

do you know the one he's used a couple of times before? its quite a beaty-dance type of bed...

i know! serving on the station with all sorts of music - i have no idea whether she's going to stay on for much longer - shes 68 now.

"Inspirational teenagers will be celebrated in a major two-week initiative on BBC Radio 1 this winter with a series of The Surgery specials, culminating in the station's first-ever Teen Awards. In November, The Surgery's Aled Haydn Jones will front a series of specials looking at the lives of a number of teenagers from across the United Kingdom who inspire others. Following the fortnight of special programmes, Radio 1 will hold the inaugural BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards, at Hammersmith Apollo in London, with awards for Teen Heroes* to recognise outstanding contributions by young people in the UK (as nominated by the station's audience) being presented alongside the awards for the top stars from the music and entertainment world in 2010. The star-studded event is set to feature performances from some of the biggest music stars in the teen world. A massive multiplatform event for the BBC, the awards ceremony is to be broadcast on both Radio 1 and on BBC Three, plus extensive online content will complement the coverage. Ben Cooper, Deputy Controller, Radio 1, says: "There's often a negative perception about teenagers, so these awards will celebrate some of the amazing and positive achievements of young people in the UK." http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2010/07_july/29/teen.shtml Thoughts about that?

wish they wouldnt advertise the live cams if they're not going to work, and if all i can get is some horizontal stripes otherwise - it would be nice to see more of this and not just the radio 1 logos all the time

Pete Tong prerecords his shows - one way of telling is if you try and see the webcam on the R1 website and theyre turned off, then it could be prerecorded. plus if DJs dont say the time when they usually would, then thats also giving signs its not live

Can't help thinking that too - maybe we should set up an online space where everybody can upload their stuff and download others? Would help more...

For a month or so

Not a fearnehater, her show is good I just wondered why it was that theyre advertising. Theyve advertised nighttime and breakfast (as it is the most important show) but they've never advertised any of the daytime or weekend shows (apart from the chart show) - so I wonder why theyve started an advertising capmpaign for fearne suddenly. Maybe its the livelounge.

Have been noticing recently that on the ads on air, fearne cotton seems to have an advert advertising her show (from 10am weekdays) Do you think it is due to a loss of listeners? They're not advertising Greg or Scott etc, but they are advertising fearne and i wonder what that's down to.

I think it could do with that - ever since that unnecessary swaparound for switch I think it will have lost some listeners - what with just one hour now and only a few calls. And agree though - it should at least be getting some more publicity on the air.

Nothing wrong with Huw doing it though - and he's done a chart update before... so no idea why he cant now and Scott's never done a chart update before.

Its probably because scott does lots of chart stuff - and he's on next anyway... so maybe they thought scott should do it.

hi can't find it on the music4 website.... could you e-mail it to me aswell please? thank you

If you are open to, can you e-mail them to me at [email protected] please? I have a few and I can exchange some if you wish. Thanks
