Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week?
Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
My perspective when saying ‘alienating’ was from a listener , a new listener to a new music show where every track is unfamiliar can be alienating.
When I used to run a music blog website and took my eye off the ball it could be hard to get finger back on pulse. I remember first listening to after 7pm on radio 1 and it feeling like a different world of music completely as a teenager- I think this format knocks them barriers down and makes a smooth transition from daytime playlists to new music show taking listener deeper down as show progresses
yeah you are bang on with setting the agenda - what a great influential role to have

Jack has smashed it
He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music
if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync .
i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter

I was really impressed by the Capital Breakfast show. Had been finding Greg a bit stale - he's a great DJ but there's only so long you can listen to the same features and same sort of topics
Where Capital's show had that familiar feel with Jordan & Chris being ex Radio 1 plus Sian Welby is great. It felt a light, fun and pacy show which I sort of feel Radio 1 has lost recently but used to have say when it was Scott & Chris, Katie, Jordan & Vick and Matt & Mollie
Even the music choices are more to my liking so far. which has surprised me given its reputation of the same 5 songs all day. And it’s not as if you’re not getting Tate McRae, Dua Lipa and Beyonce on every show on Radio 1 anyway.Radio 1's playlist is really not vibing with me at the minute - some shows like Party Anthems or Future Pop have some great new stuff that should make the playlist but too often doesn't or if in the off chance they do it's just on the C-List and heard once in a blue moon. Whereas Capital actually surprisingly seemed to have got some of that on their playlist already like the new tunes by Becky Hill,Paul Russell and 5SOS.
The music is great , I’d only wish they’d mix the music up more , the playlist is too small and therefore same songs on too often - benson Boone has been on twice in the show today

I hate to be that guy but we all know the Greggs thing was pre arranged days if not weeks in advance? It wasn't a spare of the moment thing by Chris and the convo about it was pre panned and not in the moment thing. It was an ad deal. One big ad for Greggs which they paid Capital for. This is why radio should state Product Placement just like TV. Radio 1 can't do these things for a reason. For me this what makes the show sound fake because it's a false thing pretending it all happened over night. Greggs would have to order on extra stuff to make it happen. You can't do that in 24 hrs. There will be more of these deals. I bet there will be a few Gregg "surprise" things happen over time. Other brands as well.
If it was - Happens a lot
alot of Scott and Chris stuff was built with end in mind of big final idea where they wanted to take it and working backwards to lead up to it.
Greggs was already sponsoring a competition this week so if it was an “on the fly” add on it would have just been a few bottles of mustard and some next day signage printed out to add onto their trucks and advert space. Global own a lot of advert spaces billboards too so easy for them to do

I’ve loved the new show this week, can really hear how original capital listeners and original radio 1 fans have been brought together and united in this perfect start to the day show. So fun and a great listen
What were the stress dreams before starting the new show?
Did it ever cross your mind Jordan and Chris you would be working together again after been together when you covered scott? And how’s the reunion been
most surreal moment so far?
-
This is so overdue, although almost to the point where the limbo listeners between radio one and two may already have been lost to commercial
I think they could do with a brand new naming and brand approach across the whole radio estate opposed to extension names.
Interesting discussion - Like a fantasy schedule - if you had to rename the full bbc radio estate including these new proposals - how would you approach it? -
I can only think the reason this hasn’t been announced with others in the shake up is because it’s somebody new who announcing early would be a conflict on interest as they are on other stations
James would fit this bill as he seems to do cover for global and radio 1 at the minute with no permanent show as of yet
I can see the swap with Sam and danni however as ash said

The More I think about it
the more I think it’s possible Roman could return to radio for a less demanding role than breakfast which could work alongside his one show commitments and other work
it seems him and vick have busy schedules, be a great move by bbc to get him on board Radio1’s maybe presenting a Friday afternoon show with vick - what a switch that would be

What's the likelihood that Roman will announce his departure on Monday with Jordan appearing in the studio to be unveiled as his replacement live on air?
Near on 100%
-
I can’t see it been so late
When sonny left it was almost instant
i think we can expect an announcement Monday morning with Jordan been brought into the studio and perhaps romans last week
Reading between the lines on global marketing of the show from capital breakfast with Roman Kemp to “with Roman , Chris and Sian “ was a subtle hint to less focus on all been about Roman
when a bbc show changes it gets a whole new feel, capital seem to like a gradual approach to keep listeners already established
global seems a more long term plan for presenters now, nothing to say he couldn’t go to radio x in a few years to succeed moyles after the capital breakfast gig
Ironic that commercial radio was just a few years ago awash with celebs without a radio career crowbarred into one, now it seems a little of the opposite

Yes that’s what I would like to see happen quite a shock that she passed I would have loved it she appeared on more daytime shows he Moyles show was a highlight for me back in 2011 she was reallly funny and Moyles Himself said how much he loved doing a show with her
Be great to hear that again .
I liked the when Annie met nick interview they did for radio one vintage tooa true legend and inspiration- always looking to future of music
if anyone has that link of the moyles show would be great to hear again

I’d not be upset if it were to close, it’s hard to keep up or find topics discussed in there after they’ve been posted a while. Thanks for all you do Jono keeping this website alive and us radio nerds a place

I know it’s not radio one but I can see Roman leaving capital breakfast and someone else joining Sian and chris stark
rumoured last year and subtle changing to the branding of the breakfast show to
“capital breakfast with Roman Chris and Sian” opposed to the previous “with Roman kemp” make it sound like they are pushing the continuity of Chris and Sian . Global never like big schedule shakeups
-
I get the feeling he’s been offered the ‘if ever you want a job ‘ line and with Scott going has used this chance to call back and go , yeah actually
-
I’m sure last time a large amount of donations were coming after it was completed . I hope they beat the last result! It’s been great and they’ve put so much into it
-
Can’t see Scott going anywhere in a hurry. Maybe in couple of years when schedule has stabilised and R1’s have more upcoming talent could see him and Chris going to weekends before touching r2 but right now there’s no reason to concider him for R2 , he’s still top of his game on R1’s and the only reason anyone could suggest R2 is because of age but that’s hatdly relevant when the content he puts out is relevant to target audience
-
Game of Phones was also a feature of Saturday night takeaway but since that’s going to be off for a year I’m sure Ant and Decs version will be forgotten about by time they are back

I think every presenter is allowed ‘their thing’
Greg - geeky stuff
Dev - his unique self deprecating sense of humour
And for Grimmy - it’s showbiz - that’s his thing
it got him the breakfast gig and he was friends with the stars that had a lot of influence in the show
bringing entertainment news and almost co host seems right it’s the right ingredients for him to thrive. I genuinely think Nick has a lot more energy in this show from what we’ve heard so far, it sounds like he actually wants to be here which is more than the last year of breakfast. He’s involving callers and their stories and looking for input with a format. Personally I wasn’t thinking it would be much but actually really enjoying Grimmy in this new slot, an excellent swap for him and Greg - both in their right places
-
Listen to Greg’s first show and Grimmys last you can definitely hear their strong music tastes throughout. A lot less rap and rnb this morning

Has the podcast episode changed? I listened on the iOS Podcasts app earlier and the full theme was there. Listening through that link now and it's just a bed.
Leaked a little early perhaps?
Strange. You’d of thought greg would have got the all clear to put that up with all the imaging rather than changing it. Sounded good though.
hopefully recrecording the voiceover guy
roll on Monday!

Scott v Matt and Mollie

I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life.
for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2
As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old.
The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for
radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image
the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “ moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital
a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
