  1. On weekends I think the most likely exit could be Edith and hopefully Vernon will go finally..
  2. Noticed that Ellie Goulding's new single has been added to the C-list Gregs' new Record of the week perhaps?

    Music on Shows

    Oh I Didn't know that but i do remember Matt Edmonson telling everyone on radio how he was "requesting" to play a song three weeks ago and then played it.

    Music on Shows

    I was just wondering how much of the music the dj's actually get to pick. I know there is the playlist but do the dj's get to choose which songs they pick off the playlist or are they just lumbered with whatever happens to be on the playlist. I can remember three occasions where Scott has played a song and then berated it, He said Black Eyed Peas- Imma Be was complete rubbish, Owl City- Umbrella Beach would be the theme tune of GMTV and Lady GaGa- Alejandro which he said was over hyped. And every time I thought why are you playing it but I suppose it might not be his decision. I can also remember when it was bank holiday and it was the specialist takeover, On Breakfast was Andy George and Jaymo and they were talking to Scott and they were very happy they got to pick 70% of the tracks, I thought it would be more percentage given it's specialist takeover. So how much of the tracks do they pick usually on Radio One?
  5. Ah my theory is redundant then So we might still see the back of Vernon
  6. Cheers so.. Edith Matt/Sara Vernon Jo Reggie Tom Aled Annie+ Nick In some order?

    Ok then.. Dev- He's fine i'm non-commital i can take or leave him to be honest Moyles- I think I've missed something because I just think he's OK I don't listen to breakfast much but heard him over big weekend and I thought he was ok. Fearne- She gets a lot of stick and the worst is not deserved but she is not great Greg- I really like Greg he seems like a really nice person and he is a really good dj I love listening to feet up friday espiecally Mills- My favourite dj he is brilliant and I love listening to his show. I only heard Chappers for less than a month so I haven't really noticed his departure but I love the Scott-Beccy Partnership Zane- Whenever Scott finishes and Zane arrives I can bare to listen to him and he is very passionate and I love the versus but there is always the concern that he is about to induce a headache. Huw- I think Huw is brilliant and I enjoyed listening to him when he covered for Greg and I really want to hear him more on Daytime. Nihal- I love listening to the review show and is one of my favourites on Radio 1 and he is a great host. Edith- Non Commital again I don't listen to her much and I only catch snippets which are fine if a bit dull if i am honest i'm more likely to listen if 1xtra Max or Andy George + Jaymo are covering. Vernon-Don't like his show and refused to listen when he covered for Scott, just no. Coxy- Brilliant, I love listening to Coxy she always delievers a great show and I'd always be listening to my radio on sundays at 10.00 when she was on. Matt Edmonson- He started off ok and I have heard a lot of his shows he is no comparison to coxy but he is improving rapidly, sometimes his links seems forced but I prefer him to vernon but beccy is on that show but he never talks to her, talk about missing an oppurtunity! Jo- I didn't like Jo but now I love listening to her show at the weekend and I think she has brilliant features, I love the Saturday Live Lounges and the Road-Trip is quite nice, I think she is an asset to the station and they should keep her for as long as possible. Reggie-I think he is good and I like listening to the chart show and think he is a good host, don't understand why he never covers greg in daytime. Deacon-I try not to listen but I have heard bits and I dissaprove do not like his show, if he is the future of radio one I'm not happy.
  8. Well, I Don't think the big four daytime slots (Chris, Fearne, Greg and Mills) will change. I don't think Deacon is going anywhere as he only just arrived at 7.00 on switch. I'm still not sure about them splitting the 10.00-1.00 slot but I don't think Vernon is going anywhere as he is, according to the advert, going to his favourite dance festival. The same advert said that Fearne and Jo are doing Reading + Leeds hence if the schedule change is in July and she will be doing the festival in August then surely she will still have a show going and I really hope so, whilst coxy is on maternity leave, Jo has been my favourite show over the weekend. I hope Vernon goes and Matt takes over or coxy gets both slots. Whether Edith will still be here after the changes i'm still unsure.
  9. OK, So I know how the records of the week system work. The Weekday Daytime dj's select one record apart from Moyles, which I have never really understood because when Scott covered him he still had a record of the week. But anyway my main question was about the Weekend Anthems because everybody seems to pick one. I remember a couple a months back Reggie picked weekend anthem (I think it was Drake) but surely on his show he never plays the weekend anthem. I have listened to the chart show on lots and lots of ocassions and I have never heard the weekend anthems. I do not listen to the request show but the name indicates it's solely request so surely there is no weekend anthem on that so why does he pick. Also a few months back Aled picked a weekend anthem (Telephone by GaGa) but since then I cannot remember him picking a weekend anthem since and now that Grimmy and Annie Mac have moved to ten o clock do they get to pick a weekend anthem? So a long story short does anybody know if or what the weekend anthem rota is?
