    harrysmyth got a reaction from Mercede5 in Katie Thistleton to join Going Home   
    The podcast further builds on the thought that Katie was not part of original line up for schedule change. It is very clunky PR initially announcing a two person show and then a week later changing to a 3 presenter show, which makes me believe they hopefully reacted to the audience feedback and gave Katie this role, deservedly. If this was always part of the plan they would not have announced Vick’s co hosts until later. 

    I’m hoping Jamie will be good and wish him the best of luck, but it pains me that they have to bring in non-radio talent when there must be so many people out there who want a break in mainstream radio. History demonstrates presenters like Jordan, Scott, Greg etc who started out on student radio certainly have more longevity at the station than these who don’t, e.g. Maya Jama and Jameela Jamil.

    harrysmyth got a reaction from OohErr in New Weekend Schedule February 2018   
    It really is quite a bizarre schedule change really, adding so much but without losing anyone. It is strange to have a co-host on nearly every show. There are 9 presenters on at the weekend now (10 if you count Dr Rhada) as opposed to a core of 4 required, which seems very over crowded. 
    In the press release they are really pushing Maya Jama as the big winner here, with making her the press photo, and giving her a co-host with Scott for 1 midweek day (...how very random!), which is again another surprise for Jordan to be slightly sidelined after being used so frequently by Radio 1.
    We shall wait and see. Its almost like they want to make big changes but don't have the guts to fire anyone! I'm disappointed that Alice is getting a worse show, and having to co-host, as she is such a genuinely funny presenter.

    I remember that show that Moyles did - I wouldn't exactly say that "in the olden days Moyles would have covered it". It was a complete one off and remember Chris joking that he was something like 7th to be asked!

    harrysmyth reacted to DC in Retro Radio 1 - Post your clips!   
    Have to post this. Wes Butters buggering up the end of Mark & Lard in March 2004, with Scott Mills somewhere in the middle apologizing for the break in transmission. Trying to hold in his laughter.

    Oh my. I think Nick's humour clearly goes over your head! He often makes jokes about his producers. For example when he used to say Matt Fincham was looking nice in a backless gown in the studio, its a joke!
    Next time you might be telling me Greg James is live mixing the Dance Anthems....(he doesn't)
