I said he’d leave in 2022, turns out it was much sooner, but it’s not really a surprise. He’s been a good laugh and it’ll be a shame to see him go. Vick and Jordan presenting as a duo is an interesting choice but I think it’ll work well

Thought I’d put my twopence worth in, as I realise I haven’t posted on here too much since Greg took over breakfast.
Greg’s incarnation of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show is by far my favourite in my time listening to the station (since the last few years of Moyles’ tenure on breakfast), as I much prefer the comedic, listener centric format to the more “showbiz”, celebrity focused formats used elsewhere on other youth-targeted breakfast shows (naming no names)
Radio 1 has to be different to commercial competitors, and I truly believe they currently have the most distinctive breakfast show in the market.
It is also one that is easily distilled into short social media snippets, which allow storylines (such as the recent “Tom the Young Farmer” saga) to play out to wider audiences away from linear radio, to hopefully hook new listeners into the show and keep them listening regularly.
As others have said, the recent awards for Greg, Scott, and the station itself at the ARIAs prove that Radio 1 are getting it right, especially on weekday daytime.
I can definitely see Jordan getting drive when Grimmy moves on, but that doesn’t seem likely until at least 2022, given the refreshed schedule published in April that is due in September.
RMC getting mid-mornings does seem a smart move given Clara’s promotion to Future Sounds, as they always provide an entertaining listen.
I hope Scott will continue on afternoons, as his show is still one of the best on the station, although I can see him doing more Radio 2 cover shifts alongside it.

Will you be able to chose what you listen to on sounds? Is it going to be the actual match or just the normal show with some reactions.
Appears they are using R1 Dance for the Scotland opt-out, with Danny on R1
I assume the format will be similar to Rock and Roll Football on Absolute, with match updates between the usual music

It's sounding great so far, I feel like this is the BBC at their best: catering for audiences not well served by commercial competitors, and it's exactly what they should be doing in my opinion
-
What a brilliant idea, I'll definitely be tuning in
-
It’s going to be sad to Annie leave after so many years at Radio 1, but it definitely feels like she wasn’t pushed and that it was her own decision.
Clara getting Future Sounds is a promotion for her though, and I for one can’t wait to hear the new show, as she definitely has a talent for new music radio.

This is a slightly leftfield and eccentric question (I hope), but seeing as Scott's interest in her was the main reason why I started to love Taylor Swift, I think it's a good idea to ask this: what made Scott become interested and/or obsessed with her and her music to the extent that he started the whole "our leader"/"leader of the pop illuminati" schtick back in late 2014?
An additional question on the same subject would be: what is Scott's favourite Taylor Swift song of all time?
I hope these fit with the non serious vibe you were wanting Jono!

I listen to the show everyday and I love it, but theres something missing from his afternoon show that this doesn't have. I think generally the features aren't quite so interesting (whatever happened to Game of Phones?), but also I think it's missing another personality to bounce off. Greg worked really well on the afternoon show when Chris Smith and the producers got involved (particularly Grace), but theres a lack of that at the minute. Roisin is better than she was, but she's still a little bit wooden when you compare her to how Tina used to be on Nick's show.
I think they should bring back Game of Phones at some point, but I bet the issue is lack of decent celebs to do it. The breakfast show is definitely a lot more PG than the drivetime show used to be but I'm glad there is very little showbiz focus in the content as that was the main issue with Grimmy's tenure IMO.
Greg is definitely the best presenter to do that slot who fits the criteria they have for it (enough experience, which would rule out Adele who would do a good job IMO, and a desire to do it, which rules out Scott as he has publicly said he doesn't want to do it)
-
Definitely Real or No Real, especially with Greg and Charlie when they came in for it! Was gutted when they dropped it, they should bring it back one day

I notice they're charging £18 a ticket (+£4.50 booking fee) this year. Not Europe's biggest free ticketed music festival anymore then. Although that's still really cheap for what it is.
I paid circa £60 including fees to see the 1975 and Pale Waves (and others) at Glasgow Summer Sessions, so yeah dead cheap in comparison to seeing the same acts elsewhere
-
Oh and by the way Scott liked my tweet, feel sooo happy
-
I think if you can somehow access the 'Watch Live' page, you can watch the feed that is being used to record the Twitter clips. Not sure how you can do that though, I did try earlier on

why didn't they put a live feed up? :(((
They are videoing the show, and uploading segments of the lolathon to twitter, e.g.: https:/twitter.com/BBCR1/status/841743548949135360/video/1

As I mentioned in the chatbox, Bauer stations are broadcasting the brits this year, between 7 and 11pm, I believe they may have snagged exclusive radio rights to it for the next few years. As I type this, Alice and Clara from R1 are on ITV2 doing the red carpet show, which I think is just pre recorded interviews and some montages.
Update: Tried to listen to the networked Bauer show, gave up after 5 minutes, truly awful, even by Bauer standards

Just to let you know: there are mugs to buy branded all the BBC stations in the BBC shop in the basement of broadcasting house. Right next to the cafe where you can take a look into the huge newsroom. Don't know anything about Moyles.

A generic R1 mug wouldn't go amiss, if I ever visit London, thanks for the info!

Ahh okay, I thought Music4 still had an involvement with the Paul Turner V/O. The TOTH's though seem to be new each day/few days though
-
I was aware of that news story, which I think is why that there's been no new imaging for a while, Moyles mentioned earlier in the week that they do need to get the Out of Ad Break jingles updated, the same ones air every single show pretty much.
-
I just remembered that I used to go on this site a lot, 2/3 years ago maybe, and since then, Chris Moyles has returned to the radio, on a rebranded version of XFM, Radio X. When the show launched in September 2015, Chris got together with Sandy Beech, the head of Music4, the company that produced his Radio 1 Imaging for many years, to create a new audio imaging package for the show. This has never appeared online in a clean form, would anyone be able to send me this? Here's an example of what I'm on about:

Scott Mills: Thursday 8th November 2007, 9 years ago this year. My god, seems like yesterday.:-

It'd take me an age to upload everything I have, over 70GB in shows. But I can get away with a one off like this. That for example at 170MB took me the best part of 35 minutes.
I find it amazing Radio 1 play Led Zeppelin on here, and of course Zane goes on to play an entire album. There were things about Radio 1 that were hit and miss for me in the mid 2000's, but there'd be no chance of something like this happening today.
Thanks! How about sticking anything worth uploading on a usb stick or sd card and posting it to one of us (whooooooo!) to upload it for you?

The BBC said in a blog post that this was to unify the BBC stations under the same look, which hasn't fully happened before this AFAIK.
Grimmy to leave Radio 1

Looks like Monday 6th September for the schedule refresh now
