I really like it! A nice refresh, the logo is good too! I wasn’t really a big fan of the Alt version of Scotts last package that they did for Jack (apart from the Drone and the Number 1 Ramp). I hope the 8 different cuts get some airtime!

I can’t help but think maybe Sam and Danni are being lined up to take on the Chart Show, or to be the main subs for it? I thought they sounded great today and they even had a proper Opening chart show jingle (that doesn’t happen for just anyone).

Brand new Imaging for the Chart as well today!

I do think the last 4 main VOs were the best in a long time (probably why they made it 6 and a bit years), but from what I’ve heard today it does sound like there’s only 2 main VOs now.

I was just about to say sounds like a new set of voiceovers and imaging is creeping in today

Scott and Chris, I still have no words. I have enjoyed every bit of your show since around 2004 and have seen it grow from strength to strength. You guys were one of the reasons behind me and a group of mates setting up our own online station, it might not have gone anywhere, but we have a laugh doing it as I’m sure you guys have a laugh doing your show. And that’s all that matters. You’ve helped so many people get through these past 2 years, myself included, so I just want to say thanks for everything and good luck with your next ventures, I’ll be listening! Go on pigs! Love you bye, Joe T.

I'm sure a few of you will be excited by this, so here's the Radio 1 2022 Intro Ramp for Newsbeat. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Atr7MvNqhr5yhkUk-BPKvaArdUlj?e=T8cUqj

So the new Newsbeat beds. Personally I like the beds themselves, including the unique openers for each station. But, having listened to all 3 station outputs, the lack of an out stab is really apparent, and sounds bad. There's certainly something missing! But I'm also not keen on them starting the beds again after ever story, it sounds a little rough sometimes. The last package (5 years) was great, but it was time for something new.

I’m a little disappointed that Newsbeat hasn’t had an update with the new era today. Still a great package but has been on since 2017!

Been digging through my hard drive today and stumbled across this little gem that I thought I'd share with you all. @wwcreative It took a while but (hopefully) I haven't let you down! May I present, Reggie Yates 2010 Chart Opener! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ryx3vsmzv11dvty/TOCS 2010 Opener_Reggie Yates.mp3?dl=0

So it’s been talked about since Last Summer... Scott seemed to hype it up a lot so unsure if it’s just a lolathon ?

I'm actually a bit gutted she's leaving. She's improved massively in the last 2-2.5 years she's been on Radio 1. Whilst still not perfect, she appealed to a certain group of listeners and brought them to Radio 1, the BBC Sounds statistics prove just that! As much as I like Jordan, I don't think he's quite ready for Drive full time just yet. I think give him Friday-Sunday on a permanent basis for a while to get him into the routine of constantly doing 3 shows a week, then a potential switch for Jordan and Grimmy in the future. Although I get the feeling Grimmy might leave rather than go to weekends. If night times were offered again though ?‍♂️

* MONTAGE ALERT * Admittedly I'm a few months late with this one, but here's The Sound of "The One" - 2019 Edition! https://www.dropbox.com/s/g8qqpuct8tkmxtp/The Sound of The One - BBC Radio 1 2019.mp3?dl=0 This one is very "One-tro" heavy as I felt they were on top form last year. I've already made a start on 2020, so that might one get posted on time ?!

I don't think it's time for a complete new one as I think this and the one previous are the best in a while, but I feel a slight refresh is required!

All day! Newsbeat Simulcasted across R1, 1X and AN all day today, including breakfast!
