Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.

She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.

whats the vibe about Parffit being a prick

Yes. I think its fine for someone to text in saying they are having a smear test think Danny was a bit rude or could’ve handled it better when they said they aren’t looking for those who having a smear test think Danny and their producer went for a very safe texter and couldn’t make it work. Think nothing wrong with mentioning a text of a listener saying hi I’ve got my smear test and If I was Danny I’d simply wish them luck and think thats how they could’ve dealt with it.

They probably will announce it within next week and expect for the first month that Global may use its digital billboards and screens It owns across the country to display some promotional messaging for Jordan’s breakfast show and launch a marketing campaign around it.

Bit different when think everything ABBA should be Radio 2 territory

I’m not sold on the new name.

I agree think having more live or original presenter driven programmes across the night schedule would be good I’d potentially allow Jaguar to have an extended time slot somewhere in the schedule. I wouldn’t want Arielle to be on a 1 am timeslot for her radio show and something she could easily do if Danny Howard could step down. I’d decide to scrap the Dance Anthems on Radio 1 saturday drive and move ‘Dance Anthems’ to Radio 2 creating a new ‘Radio 1 Party Starter’ show on saturday afternoons with new and classic pop/dance/indie/rap tracks curated with listener recommendations. I’d also have overnight the more niche and specialist stuff and have Tiffany Calver return to 1 with Casskid joining.

I assume the either Easter Monday or the Tuesday afterwards. With Global unless it is an unplanned departure they tend to just replace straight away.

Yes, feel like a mess very inconsistent it got the energy of a random computer folder with miscilanious bits and bobs. Think they need to have a BBC Y or BBC Fresh brand on IPlayer or something that feels youthful to collate that brand of content specific to the 12-30 approx age-ranges or possibly get rid of having BBC One, Two, Three and Four category folders and exclusively using the channels names featuring in the IPlayer programming schedule guide and live-stream options.

I doubt it. I do think they do have a good idea with the Global Player visualisation in the app. I think they need to look at simplifying the app design for Global Player as it looks bit messy and cluttered. If they had a separate app for LBC and news based content and the text articles that would help simplifying the user interface. But they do need to consider allowing people to watch the live lounge live as it goes out. It doesnt need to be on the app but could just be on facebook, instagram, X and TikTok. They could decide to just start by doing more YouTube videos uploading some of the interviews Clara or Jack does with music and non-live lounge session videos to visualising some of Matt V. Mollie features.

I mean doing a 24 hour feed on 5Live wouldn’t attract many viewers which makes sense that’s they closed it as it is in a nutshell what Talk TV is and they wouldn’t attract many viewers. I know they simulcast Nicky Campbell’s radio show on BBC News. I think it would be too expensive to do. But visualisation of extra content Radio 1 wise could I think expand the Newsbeat and Lifehacks stuff across radio 1 socials. Whilst we wouldn’t want social media influencers taking to Radio 1 airwaves but I wonder if they could hire social media content creators who to the stations social media content production and communications and those who produce multi-media podcasting content to market and promote live radio features and expand on air programmes and features. It was much in the pre BBC Sounds where they offered more live-streams, visual and innovative multi-media content and where Radio 1 had their own unique webpage design. I think there needs to be as the BBC will focus on more digital mediums targeting younger generations. I wonder if they could look at creating a unified brand for the content exported on Radio 1, CBBC and BBC Three that can be a brand that binds elements of the BBC together.

I can only assume since no more further details of the causation of his death haven’t been published his death must’ve been non suspicious. He was very private around his personal circumstances and think this is what must be remembered and respected.

Fair point. Their first album came out the year I was born. Then again when Foo Fighters were releasing music for a long time when they headlined before.

Suspect that in coming weeks we could hear new music and new album announcement from Coldplay. It’s goid that they managed to book Vampire Weekend great name to have for the line-up and one I’ll definately be watching on IPlayer so will with CMAT, Everything Everything and Coldplay.

They may have had issues filling the festival up I’m thinking at least any indie/rock bands and artists may be turned off from the festival as last years Royal Blood audience was less than enthusiastic that pissed them off. I do think they could’ve had both Raye and Charli on the main stage taking place of either Griff, Aitch and Joel Corry as think Charli currently in the peak of her career.

Foals is the headliner and main performers a station like Radio 1 should have. I hope we eventually have a British band like them headline the pyramid stage of a festival like Glastonbury. Nothing But Thieves or even Paramore could make for an additional good choices for the line-up hope they have a decent headline making names to announce for the sunday of the New Music and Main Stage closing performances. The fact theres only two six performers per stage on the days does make it hard to give it a big sell and obvious that some cuts have been made to this years festival.

Agreed, it feels very light there’s only Charli XCX and Raye I’d watch on IPlayer. They tend to do good with fitting it in to its demographic and sometimes as this hints younger than the daytime presenters target towards. It’s a more of a diet small portion of what they used to squeeze in on one day.

I think its strange that they ditched the ‘Future Sounds’ brand of the second stage when it should be a simple ‘other stage’ type of name.

Since they starting the big weekend right at the end of Matt & Mollie’s show I expect they get to do the duties of opening up the festival.

it would make sense to ensure both instagram and TikTok are treated as equals and kept in tandem as reels and downloads of instagram are growing when TikTok I think I’ve heard is stagnating. I mean it makes sense to do less with Twitter or X as it has change. There has been a lot of change in how its run and operate with focus on making it a platform people pay for and its been volatile for advertising with lots of loss in paid promotions on the platform and the business worth has been waining and any communications and marketing for any business and organisations are seeing that

Think Taylor would be too costly of a production now it was different in 2018 in Swansea but her stardom now is on another level and think could distract from the rest of the line-up.

I mean Calvin probably maybe not just because of Vick but closes ties to the station and someone they booked so often sounds likely. I mean it could be a surprise headline announcement regarding Fred Again. One that his team and the station could be keeping under wraps think it would be the right time and moment for him to do such a gig. Raye likely headliner bit I don’t know whether Beyoncé would cost too much and eat out of the budget for the festival. I just don’t see her doing a radio festival.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the Friday line-up think maybe someone like Fred Again.would be a good choice. Raye having not been booked for Glastonbury this year would be a good book post BRITs to boost listening figures and IPlayer/TV ratings. I still think Friday maybe dance heavy as since they are set to launch Radio 1 Dance on DAB+ radio it shows how mainstream and popular the genre is.

I don’t mind Coldplay used to be my favourite band few years back still got couple of their albums on vinyl considering this will be their fifth time playing its hard to find this as an exciting booking for them. I know papers and other different music sources were rumouring that Madonna and Stevie Wonder was top choices to play and if they were booked they would be that that something. I get that vibe find the stuff on the Park Stage, Westholts and the Woodsies (old John Peel tent) have some of the best acts. Do share that feeling.
