  1. All-new Nick Grimshaw Imaging Dropped

    in Radio 1 Geek Talk

    Posted

    Alright. I've listened to all of them.
    First: it's a bit too full on. Imagine waking up hearing that. Your day starts the way you want it to end. It's too clubby for a breakfast show.
    Second: it reminds me of that "this is heart" stuff for the other station that rhymes with Weart (WHOOO?). That private station feeling is just not what I want to hear at Radio 1!
    Third: It sounds a bit like they're trying to be Dance Anthems.
    Fourth: That opener is the worst! While the old one gave you energy for the day (by the way it was best very loud), this one seems completely out of place and when The Breakfastshaw starts talking it seems even more out of place.
    In a nutshell (WHOOO?!), it's bad and seems like trying to be some other show like Dance Anthems or Annie Mac's Friday Night, but it's not.

  6. Jordan North

    in BBC Radio 1

    Yes. I would keep that constellation. I boycott Claras show because the only thing she does is read out texts and announce music and every now and then a Live Lounge. But with Adele (I'd definitely miss her on early breakfast) it was much better, she even brought up a few games and stuff. I don't know what to think about Jordan North. I like his way of presenting, but he didn't seem as motivated as Adele on early breakfast.

  7. Resurrect the Radio 1 Breakfast Show

    Absolutely, the main reason the kids aren't listening to the Radio 1 Breakfast Show anymore is cause they ditched the opening bed and have bad imaging.

    There's nothing teenagers love more than a well produced bespoke audio imaging package.

    Sarcasm aside, they seem like pretty constructive suggestions. 

    If R1 really wanted to keep Grimshaw but go nuclear, maybe they could introduce a cohost to freshen it up a bit. (Yes, I know, the same thing is being suggested on both another thread on this forum and DigitalSpy, but not with Grimmy staying on). But seriously though, it could work - a "new" breakfast show but without having to ditch Grimmy. They've done it on 1Xtra a couple of times - giving Trevor Nelson Gemma Carney, and giving Twin B Yasmine Evans. Again, I'm gonna suggest the same name that's come up again and again - Alice Levine. Only problem is what to do with her when Grimmy does leave breakfast - would she go solo, get paired up with his successor, or be moved to a different slot? Could create a potentially messy divorce but hey ho.

    Mills for breakfast!
