Greg has just replayed the highlights reel from this on the breakfast show! Starts 0839. Amazing nostalgia to listen back to, I remember being totally hooked to this when it was happening. Some R1 presenters of old on there too.

Tee in for Free sounding good this evening

Also, and not to be forgotten, compere of Matt and Molly's "Initial Reaction" 😁

I'd like to see it given to Joel Mitchell, who's really grown in confidence since his earlier cover stints. Emil and James are great too but tbf have been around on various stations for a few years now, and it would be good to see new talent be given a chance.

I like Arielle as a stand in for Greg - wish she'd get used for more cover!

In both senses of the word!

Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

How are you finding the early mornings, and having your afternoons free? Was it easy getting to grips with a different desk and play out system? Do you have any upcoming OBs and anything else exciting planned for the show that you can exclusively share with Unofficialmills? 😀

I prefer Vick and Katie as an on air duo, wasn't quite getting the same radio spark from them

From what I've heard so far this week, the new show is a really decent listen. The theme music sounds slightly Dancing on Ice though, maybe?

Charlie Tee in for Jeremiah on the Soundsystem Party tonight

Whatever happened to the simple days of Yasser (whooooo?!) being the weekend stand in? 🤪

Matt Edmondson on The Matt Edmondson Show

Yay! Very well deserved.

This is brilliant news. I'll miss them on weekend afternoons though!

Hard agree with Jack Saunders, he's worked his way up from student radio too.

I was gutted when I heard the news yesterday, almost as much as poor Katie sounded. 💔 I grew up close to Rock FM's broadcast area, and although we didn't regularly have Rock on as the signal was poor, sometimes we got in the the car or heard it in shops a bit further from home. I remember hearing Jordan on Rock FM and thinking at the time what a brilliant presenter he was (Mills level of radio brilliance!), so was really pleased when he became the supply teacher on R1, and later given regular shows. I'll miss him on R1, but not sure if I'll retune from Greg at breakfast if he's on at the same time elsewhere. Perhaps the bigger shock in yesterday's announcement was who would be Vick's new co-host! My afternoon go-to station might have to be R2 now, for Scott and Sara (and Jo), although the thought of being an R2 regular makes me feel old...

Lauren and Katie together will be an interesting listen. I did quite like having Cel on Life Hacks just for his perspective on things and balance, so I wouldn't mind a male presenter back on at some point. Sam and Danni were good back when they covered, but I'm happy with them on weekend breakfast at the moment!

Iconic Chris Smith with the news moment ?

Sad that Chris Smith is leaving but glad that Greg is on to sing to him a final time

It's a bit sad knowing that this is the last ever time Alice will be on R1. She's always been one of my favourite presenters and listening to her show has always manged to put a smile on my face and often had me laughing out loud. Best of luck to her in whatever she does next.

I don't think it's necessarily due to VT'd content, more that someone less slick is driving the desk for whatever reason I've noticed this a bit recently too, mainly on Matt and Mollie's show, where I suspect Mollie is driving the desk

DANGERWANK!

Early breakfast is also a possibility although Jordan's more likely to get a weekday slot first. She could just be making more podcasts and documentaries for R1 though, rather than more radio shows.
