    I enjoyed their short stint at Radio 1 too. It was unfortunate there was a bit of scandal while they were at Radio 1.

    I've seen quite a few friends saying how much they enjoy D&D on Virgin, so I could see them joining permanently. 

    What was the scandal?

  16. Matt and Mollie to replace Dean and Vicky

    Very interesting when we all were certain Matt would leave this year. Tbey will be great on weekdays and i would have gone with them from the start Radio 1 took a gamble and it did not work in D&V, I wonder where they will end up perhaps a straight swap? As others have mentioned what happens with the Salford broadcast. Well the article says the coming days i guess we will find out soon and i think it will tie in with Jacks new show.

    Disagree. I think Greg is top of his game, the listening figures reflect how well he's still doing. There's nobody more obvious who can bring in those numbers.

    Radio 1 will be keen to keep hold of him for stability right now.

    Spot on Greg is on fine form lately

  22. R1 Succession Planning

    What a great thread this is. And i cannot see what the vision is anymore. I cannot believe they would let Jordan go. I fo want to hear more of the young talent see what they can offer as that will tell the story. Big fan of Sam&Danni get more like them i am sure the station will be fine. 

    Greg surely now stays longer than expected because they have nobody there to rival Capital Breakfast. Time to really find out who is the best of this bunch Radio 1 get on it!

    Interesting… according to this clip, Radio 2 asked Steve Wright if he’d consider bringing back his afternoon show a few days before he passed away https://twitter.com/StalledMovie/status/1758977108288667960

    WOW What a clip i assume they meant as part of the new station not replacing scott?

    Same as you, I’m a long term lurker and made my first post here today! 😆 I would agree this is some of the biggest news to hit the station since I’ve been listening as a teen (well over 10 years ago now). With Scott it was a real shame, but I do think we all expected it at some point.

    Interesting point about the ages of the presenters. I mentioned this earlier, but I do think there needs to be an honest conversation about the demographic/age of who is actually listening to radio in general (and Radio 1 currently) and the target audience currently set by the trust. In 2012 bringing in Grimmy to the Breakfast show worked - I was 17 at the time and loved the evening show he did and I know a lot of my peers loved his breakfast show too.

    However, I think making a similar move now would do very little in bringing in younger listeners - if anything I think it would make things worse. Young people just aren’t consuming music/content in the same way they used to. I’ve noticed that Capital has changed its approach recently to playlist typically Radio 2-ish bands (Take That, Alicia Keys, S club, Busted etc.) as well as chart music. It makes you wonder if the BBC just need to take a step back and reassess how they’re targeting their music stations. I’m not saying anything needs to change content-wise/music-wise but I really struggle to see how they’re going to bring in a younger generation who just aren’t interested in the radio format full stop.

    By desperately trying to bring in younger listeners, they risk losing their existing listeners whilst also not bringing in any new, younger listeners at all - leaving very few listeners altogether. Simply because they have different ways of music/media consumption now. Maybe they will have more success with the remit of a “new music station” and not just the 16-29 year old demographic that they have historically fixated on. After all, that demographic was outlined at a completely different time, when the music industry was also in a completely different place. Is it still relevant now?

    Here here really well said
