  1. I also sent in a complaint. Here's the response I got:

    Thanks for contacting us regarding BBC Radio 1. I understand that you're unhappy that Greg James is swapping shows with Scott Mills.

    We're sorry if you are upset by the news of Scott and Greg's show's switching round. Scott has been presenting 4-7pm since 2004 and we know he is much loved by his listeners, however Radio 1 is required by the BBC Trust to continue attracting new, young audiences to the station and our new schedule is designed to introduce new and fresh talent to the station, ensuring we can achieve this.

    Greg, who joined us from Student Radio, is also very popular, especially with younger listeners - but many of them are at school or college whilst he is currently on air (1-4pm). We hope that by swapping Greg and Scott around we will bring in a brand new generation of listeners. Scott meanwhile will continue to entertain the nation, just at a slightly earlier time each afternoon.

    Nevertheless, we’re guided by the feedback we receive and I can assure you I've registered your complaint on our audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that's made available to all BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive Board, channel controllers and other senior managers.

    The audience logs are seen as important documents that can help shape decisions about future programming and content.

    Thanks for taking the time to contact us.

    Kind Regards

    Gareth Brennan
