  5. London Terror Attacks: Newsbeat 22/3/17

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    Here's an overview of how Radio 1 responded to today's terror attacks. Today's content on Radio 1 has been slightly different due to the developing story on the London terror attack which saw one confirmed dead, a police officer stabbed and Parliament suspended, with Theresa May being rushed from the House of Commons.

    Radio 1 elected to choose sombre pop to come out of all bulletins since the first reporting, which was announced in Scott's show by an audibly shaken Chris Smith. Since then, bulletins have been provided with myriad of reporting by journalists both on the ground and in the studio. Tonight's bulletin was described as a "Newsbeat Special" and ended without the Ten Minute Takeover.

    Nothing regarding the attacks was published on Newsbeat's website, which is soon to be retired. 

    You can hear tonight's Newspeat Special here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Cy0l9zVU5wVngweHp0NjlURWc/view?usp=sharing

     

     

    I am a bit disappointed that it took nearly an hour from the attack to the first time they mentioned anything on air. And after that Scott and Chris just continued as normal, talking about Innuendo Bingo and such stuff, playing all the normal nusic. I've read an article about Radio production on the R1 website where they said heavy news stories have to be reacted to by the presenters, but what could be heavier than the capital under attack? I really would have thought especially Scott would have reacted way better. At least they didn't play Real or no real.

  10. Mills to Present Radio 2 Show 10pm-2am

    in The Scott Mills Show

    Posted

    You forget, though, that Scott has changed his act and modernised to stay on R1 into his 40s. Also, his "kind of music" probably isn't the R1 playlist- I'd say he has a very broad taste in music and would adapt to the R2 playlist. And he obviously wouldn't be bringing Innuendo Bingo or Bangers across to R2- he'd be on a different station doing a different show and would come up with new features and games to suit the R2 audience.


    And I would miss his features

  13. Mills to Present Radio 2 Show 10pm-2am

    Just been reading that Scott will present a one off show on Radio 2 tomorrow as part of Sara Cox's 24 Danceathon. Should be a good show.
    Anyone else think this could be trial to see if he could fit Radio 2 as permant fixture in the future?

    Noooooooooo! I don't want to lose Mills! Even if he's 42, he still is the best DJ Radio 1 has got.

  14. Mistajam and Danny Howard to cover for Annie Mac from January

    in BBC Radio 1

    Phil's show is one of my favourites on the station- amazing chilled music, so perfect for a Sunday night. Was so disappointed when Annie left that show but pleased that it's continued in the same style. Hope he stays there.
    Can't agree with you there- Annie has taken to the weekday show like a natural, one of my favourite presenters on the station, great personality and knowledge. Has a broader musical knowledge than MistaJam from my point of view. Looking forward to her being back.


    I completely agree with you there. Annie is a much better broadcaster than Jam, but Jam is not bad. He can get back to 1Xtra.

    She said on Twitter she'll be back in "a few months" so I'd say May is more likely, possibly just before Big Weekend.
    Looking forward to her being back, I wonder where Mistajam will go- the original press release didn't indicate he'd be going back to his 1Xtra show so R1 would then have to find a slot for him. Really hope it doesn't mean Phil Taggart being dropped. Maybe Thursday 9pm replacing the Artist Takeover and Sunday 7pm with the Rock Show moving to Thursday 10pm?


    I think it will all get back to normal

  19. Clean versions of songs

    in Radio 1 Geek Talk

    Posted

    Radio 1 are a different ball game to commercial radio, which is seen with sexual being turned to sensual (but no idea where they source that kind of edit though) Most of the muted swear words are added by the promo companies and record labels, we have some email us for the community station I work at, they prove the original track and a clean radio edit, from what I can tell all these radio edits sound the same so if it's deemed ok by the music team they'll just use the version sent to them like we do. 


    I once loved a remix by WestFunk but I couldn't find a clean version to play on the radio, so I emailed him, he sent me a clean radio version and a not so clean club version (I played the club version and censored it myself because the radio version was rubbish quality), that's how it might work for Radio 1.
