Jordan Greg and Scott (I’m on a fan site dedicated to him after all) Though Vick Hope and Sian Eleri are very good as well. the only person I dislike at the station at the moment is Gemma Bradley. I don’t like her show. She always sounds like she doesn’t want to be there.

Finally. I was never a fan of his. But can’t deny his importance to the station. His work with Annie was decent. And his breakfast stint.. was ok. Just shame he followed Moyles’s stint. Vick and Jordan on drive. Perhaps noticing heart and hits strategy of male female pairing. Nick will slot nicely into Heart. Or even the Hits Network if they want to give Fluer East a new co-host again.

Absolute- Fire Berry. Put Bush and Richie (my go to drive show) on breakfast. Keeping newsreaders on air. Fix their guarantee to play different songs each day. Maybe mix in some new stuff with some older stuff a bit better. Maybe hire someone like Alice Levine to fill their drive time slot. Virgin- Stop being a Radio 2 wannabe. Hiring Graham Norton and Chris Evans. I thought their output was good before Evans signed for more money. Their branding is awful. Why use the old virgin name? Anyone who can get Wikipedia knows that’s now Absolute. HITS- Hire some bigger more talented names. Fluer East isn’t a good Radio host. They need to hire someone who’s a big name and good at radio. I feel like Grimmy would be good on breakfast there. And I could also see him doing some sort of throwback show on the pride spin-off station. Capital- Simulcast Coco Cole’s show on the main station as well as Dance. I think their breakfast show team is very charismatic especially Roman and Sian less so Sonny. I don’t listen live but often watch clips they put on Twitter or Instagram. I’d say maybe find a better third wheel there.

Feels like the BBC have definitely taken notice of Global’s 24 hour playlists/ stations now.

I’d bet good money on it.

Oh RMC on mornings. That’s a waste:(

From Gloabl- Capital Dance is arguably the best station to launch in a long time IMO. The DJ’s are all brill. (Coco and Jam especially) From Bauer- I’ve recently fell back in love with the absolute network. Their drive time show is brilliant. I don’t like Grimmy- so that’s where I go at 4PM. Their breakfast show is bad, The other shows are meh. Also shout out to Union Jack- A niche station. But very very good. I like the mix of Music there.

A swap would be nice- Coco Cole to R1, Arielle to Capital Dance. (Unlikely- as Coco is also a Club DJ- but I can dream right?)

Oh I agree completely. Rickie and Melvin seem to be doing lots together without Charlie. Like they not long ago competed on some Reality TV program together. I do think perhaps once the world starts to move back to normal, they’ll quietly take Charlie off of evenings and keep her solely on dance anthems. They do sound better apart in my opinion. Charlie sounds more comfortable doing her dance anthems, whilst the lads seem happier on the night shift.

Honestly glad she’s been on quite a bit doing cover. She’s brilliant. I’d like to hear her takeover the introducing slot from Gemma soon. Really enjoy when she covers for Jack.

I agree, she was the stronger comedic personality out of that duo, i do hope another station picks her up soon. Also whilst on the subject of unpopular opinions- Adele isn’t great on Weekend breakfast. I don’t know what it is- but her show always feels a bit off

Greg James should still be on drivetime. Anthems is quite a good weekend listen (especially with Jordan!)

I could see Annie leaving to focus on family. Could move Jack up in to that slot with his future artists in a prime time slot? I think I’d push RMC back to a 10PM slot. Maybe you could slot Clara into that 8-10PM slot. And move Vick(with Katie) to mid mornings and hire someone new (An Xmas presenter?) to take over Life Hacks/Chart first look.

The Five or Fake game with Jordan is brilliant ?

Pretty sure that’s on YouTube.

Most likely. Depends if they burnout with a whole week of buildup.

So the DJ’s are doing it for a week. Then the lads are doing a 24 hour broadcast to end it on the 12th March

Starting 5th March!

It’s official! Lolathon 3.0

He could swap studios with Nadia Jae ??

I hope it is another lolathon. Feels like the last one was forever ago! Or I’d like to see them tackle a marathon broadcast! But, with all the COVID rules in place, maybe wouldn’t be so great without someone walking in as a surprise guest or being able to play many games.

Why are they only using Sian for one night? I get it was probably a test run- but still normally they’re on for the full week right?

I hope he makes a full time return to radio. There’s an opening at Virgin I saw as their drive host (Kate Lawler) is off on maternity leave.

I hope it goes. It’s just awful. If I need a dance station.. my go to is capital dance. R1 Dance is just replaying old Pete shows. And producing the odd few hours of random dance content here and there. I don’t think it’s that popular either.

I disagree here, I think she’ll stay as cover for RMC.
