  2. Grimmy to leave Radio 1

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    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.

  3. Beyond Radio 1 What schedule and station changes would you maks

    in Radio

    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. 

  7. Which commercial station is top of its game?

    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.

    If global were to snatch up anyone from R1 I think Arielle Free would be the best option but some of the new presenters that were on at Christmas would be a much better fit, E.g James Cusack.

    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?)

  9. Rickie Melvin and Charlie

    I thought they sounded good together today as a pairing, with Charlie going solo. 

    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.

    Jess Iszatt in for Annie (Mon-Wed)

     

    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.

    100% agree. Alice was much better than Dev.

    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

  13. Katie and Vick

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    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.

  16. Greg's 'massive announcement'

    It is always good radio - I wonder if the 9am finish is a start point - we know that Katie is on the chart and we know Matt and Mollie are planning something for it, last time in 2019 it was due to be 24hrs and Greg was due to cover for Scott on the day after however they continued until 4 and made it 27, the same as 2017 when they started at 4 after their own show 

    I reckon 9am is the minimum, and they will actually go to 4pm Friday making it 31

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

    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.

  24. Radio 1 Dance

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    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.
