    Acelink got a reaction from Helen.a12 in Katie Thistleton to join Going Home   
    Vick still has a lot of work outside radio where she may need cover, same for Jamie.
    makes sense to make Katie a permanent fixture so the show has its intended presenters most of the time, she will be great loved hearing her pair with Jordan and vick

    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

    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

    A load of archive content has arrived on bbc sounds, including grimmy’s show with Annie that they did to celebrate 50 years of her on the station.

    Actual LOL at Jordan and Scott just now:
    Jordan: oh god, they're gonna send me back to local radio - oh wait, all the jobs have gone.
    Scott: it's all coming from London now babes, Rock FM's not on anymore.

    Acelink reacted to THIS IS THE BBC in Radio 1 Podcasts   
    Is anyone else listening to the comedy podcasts?
    I quite enjoyed the Ed and Lauren Get On podcast (which has recently finished) due to their funny but down to earth style. It just feels very relaxed and I could see this being brought back as they seem to be quite natural on the radio. General discussions about the funny side of life in a great partnership of real-world comedians. Niki and Sammy's Peachy Podcast however hasn't been great as they spend most of the time talking about themselves and often have to have guests for the show to sound entertaining - it seems very similar to Grimmy's show - forced fun, reliance on guests and awful features (description friction in this case). They are just run-of-the-mill youtubers though so no great expectations here! Scott and Chris' Best in Show is great, replaying games and features from the past couple of years, I t would be better though if they went back even further to things we won't all remember or have heard before bu overall, it works well and is a great idea as a lot of radio is never repeated but Scott's show deserves to be promoted in this way due to its long history for being so entertaining. The Kench podcast will feature many shorter series', the current of which being Ray Moss - No Stone Unturned. This is very different from the others as it is a fictional, light-hearted detective series in which he tries to investigate mock-up cases sent in by listeners. It seems very good in the way the stories are quite funny and interesting and he is a great character. So all in all these new podcasts are a great addition to the R1 collection and I would recommend them to people who enjoy the existing podcasts. In my eyes a much better idea than the constant documentaries and R1 takeover's we were bombarded in this slot before!

    To be honest, this is probably going to be good for Matt as they both worked really well together when she was on. I'm looking forward to hearing more of this!
    Maybe that toilet gag persuaded the bosses of R1 to add her to the schedule!

    I mean as far as schedule changes go this isn't as dramatic as I expected this year's overhaul to be - no one has been binned!
    It seems to say a lot about Radio 1 that Scott's had a boost from this news, he seemed a natural fit for the chart show from his cover stints in the past. Not sure what to make of the fact Maya lasted only a few months working with Scott and Chris though!
    Will the chart show now return to a 3 hour show rather than the weird reboot it has been in more recent years?
    I wonder if this is Ben Cooper's way of getting the wage bill down - presumably Grimmy will be getting less now unless they're expecting the usual Friday hosts to do some more elsewhere. 
    Jordan is great, it's a shame we're not hearing more of him, but Mollie King and Matt Edmondson are a good match.

    How'd you guess? I should probably lay off, she's not the devil. Although she has now been bumped from Rage for Molly King.

    Loving Sophie's recent appearances. The overeating thing was very funny. She reminds me of Beccy. They should get her on more. Weird that Scott seems to make his APs sit outside the studio now, unless it was just for effect on the radio. Otherwise I don't see why they'd do the whole thing through talkback instead of getting her on a mic.
