How has it been working early mornings as a parent, Chris? Is it harder to juggle than the 1-4 slot?

I still think Dua Lipa could make the line-up. She's in the Live Lounge soon. Would be a scoop if they had two of the key Glastonbury performers.

Is the three bangers after nine idea meant to compete with Ten Minute Takeover?

But if Radio 1's big selling point is new music it's strange. Clara fell a bit flat in comparison to her predecessors because she wasn't shaped in the same way as Annie or Zane.

What's your morning routine when you're working?

I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!

Do you spend more time with the other Global presenters or do Capital keep themselves to themselves? Like Moyles or Theakston

This is exciting! Do you both still listen to Radio 1? Presumably you have to spend time listening around for creativity.

Very similar to Greg ! 1712587714688.mp4

£10 a day for car parking! Council making a neat little profit!

He was impressive. Hope he does more like that.

Who was the first Radio 1 DJ to get you into the station?

This has been referenced in a thread on Pink News https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/03/20/jordan-north-sexuality-truth-about-vaping/ Trouble is you can't feel they've done this for clicks

Spoke too soon, Coldplay is old school!

Sunday is much more quality. They should have left Friday alone as a DJ night and kept those artists for Saturday.

Just weird to launch a third day but water down your weekend offering. Everyone's struggling financially as it is without needing to try for three days.

Made me laugh

Apart from Raye there doesn't seem to be any names that would convince large numbers to travel across the country to head to Luton for a weekend. Is it budget cuts that prevent them from bringing in the massive names? Harry Styles? Taylor Swift? Muse? Foo Fighters? People would pay crazy money for acts like those in previous years.

So strange to see this from 2013. So few of the key figureheads now remaining at Radio 1!

From 2005! The opening link talks about a "tranny night" which you definitely couldn't say in 2024! Nor Rate My Listener!

Miss you Chris! Well from the Radio 1 family.

Either this is James or you need to start Unofficial Cusack

Also Katie seemed really upset by Jordan's departure, it helps keep her on side. She is an important asset.

She's just announced she's pregnant so I guess it might mean just Chris and Jordan on the breakfast show in the future?

Perhaps Aled will redeem himself yet. Greg and Matt and Mollie are two of the strongest presenters at the station so it makes sense to renew one contract and bring the other two to weekdays.
