Dan18F1 reacted to Toby_Radio in Future of Radio 1.
A few points here. What I would say, is Radio 1, due to its target audience, is at the forefront of attracting a new generation of listeners, and is up against the likes of streaming services, YouTubers, podcasters, and commercial radio. It’s a multi platform youth content brand/provider, with the live linear station as the bedrock of the output, the live moment, the petrol that fuels the engine. I agree, if the content was made more on target, and less safe and predictable, then they would be more successful with the target audience, and I’d imagine by the new year a weekday shakeup is imminent, not just a shifting around. Especially with the new Pop Controller coming in. Otherwise, 30 something white blokes or 40+ presenters get swapped around again and again with no change, obviously with exceptions. If there aren’t some big changes in 2020, then there’s a serious magagerial problem. My second point, one thing to remember is Radio 1 doesn’t live or die by RAJAR, and a decline in audience could be nearly older listeners deserting the station, and if you aren’t 16-24, in theory, Radio 1 doesn’t care if you listen or not. The core 3 million under 24 listeners is who they’re aiming at and broadcasting to, with 3 million weekly listeners, all 16-24, Radio 1 would be seen as succeeding.

Dan18F1 got a reaction from Mike123 in Scott and Chris sounding top of their game
I don’t want them to do that tbh, Scott and Chris’ current slot is a lot better than Matt and Mollie’s, think if they got moved it would seem like a demotion

Hello everyone
Aled here, Head of Programmes at Radio 1. Thank you for all your passion for Scott, Chris and Radio 1 - the station’s success relies on fans like yourselves caring about radio and what we do and all of us at Radio 1 really appreciate it.
Don't worry - I’m not planning on hanging around and cramping your style, I’m trying to get hold of Jono. I’ve used the ‘Contact us’ section but I’ve heard nothing yet, if someone on the board has his contact please ask him to email me.
(It’s nothing bad!)
Keep up the amazing work everyone, be as critical as you like, I’m sure Scott appreciates it.
Thanks,
Aled.

Good to hear What's My Age Again and Game of Phones this week. It's added a bit of variety to the same old features.

Dan18F1 got a reaction from vorti in Scott on daytime BBC Radio 2
I’m guessing from the tone of it, that the whole thing is a joke and is based on the fact that Radio 2 has changed quite a lot in the last few years and the fact that quite a lot of people aren’t that happy about it. I don’t think it’s anything to get too annoyed about.

THIS IS WHY I LOVE RADIO. None of that dull shit that's so safe you want to cry. This rude af film quiz is something else.

Dan18F1 got a reaction from OohErr in 24 Hour LOLathon with Scott and Chris
This last hour and a half has been the best radio I think I’ve ever heard on Radio 1. It’s nice to see all the DJs being able to show their (rude) personalities. And Jordan has really really stood out tonight. A shame that’s greg won’t be on until the morning as I enjoyed him doing the rude bits last time!!

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.

Hate when Scott is associated with a ‘big announcement’ because it always gives me the fears he’s leaving

Dan18F1 got a reaction from robpotter in Chris's Friday Extra Podcast
On Chris’ podcast last week, when he was speaking to Scott, Scott seemed to announced that’s Innuendo Bingo would be back before Christmas but with bigger celebrities than they used to have!

Dan18F1 got a reaction from OohErr in Matt & Mollie
I did originally think it was a shame that Matt was given a co host as he was perfectly able on his own.
But, as Mollie has been here a while, I’ve got to really like her. Her and Matt have very good chemistry and I really enjoy the content on their show! As much as I hope he doesn’t go any time soon, when Scott does leave or move, I think them or Jordan would be a very good replacement.
I do actually quite like Dev and Alice on their weekend show. I don’t think they have great chemistry - but that awkwardness is what seems to work. I did think they were missing features on their drive time cover though.
I do think it’s a massive shame that the natural double act, Matt and Alice never happened apart from a couple of shows. And I very much doubt it will ever happen again!

Dan18F1 got a reaction from Greg20 in Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James - First Thoughts
I think he meant to get listeners involved in with the guest which is what he managed to do. I think they’ll be a bit more flexible with guests once the show has settled in and once they’ve got rid of the summer mix so they have more time!

He DID manage to get the Red Arrows involved then, but no idea what on earth they’re going to do!!!!

Dan18F1 reacted to Chris D in Grimmy and Greg Hide and Seek
Could they be in Denbigh? There was a school there that they did the show from for the pedal to the peaks challenge, plus it was mentioned on the show yesterday when Greg got it "muddled" with Tenby.

Also, Sophie of of Scott Mills has tweeted to say are there any music teachers missing a gong? Could just be throwing us off the scent but still

Finding it slightly annoying that the live stream is only showing the performances and not the presenters like it did before. I miss seeing the presenters live as well.

Presumably it’s his normal team then rather than grimmys team.
