You know... something is bothering me, and it's this....

This topic took more hits in under 2 weeks than the Sport Relief topic did in a number of weeks. Just goes to show the sort of topic people really wish to view.....

This is making my head fizz now. I created this topic, and now I hate it.

Absolutely.hate.it.

And this surpirsed you how exactly? As a regular Radio 1 listener I am more than aware of Sport Relief due to how much Moyles, Fearne and Mills have been talking about it. Until I saw this thread however I wasn't aware Radio 1 were going to be running a documentary on masturbation. I know which thread I'm more likely. It's ironic that one of your more decent threads you hate!

I would personally think the awareness of Sport Relief is one of the reasons for this - I personally haven't looked at the Sport Relief threads because I am aware of the charity and had already donated.

I doubt that Radio 1's documentary about masturbation has received as much TV Coverage, and people would look at the topic to find out about it.

Or they were just so enticed about 'Wanking off' with Aled.

Good to see they're doing their usual shove-everything-down-the-listener's-throats job of that then... :rolleyes:

So you actually believe a topic about lying wanking off is more valuable than an S.R. topic? :rolleyes:

This is the worst topic I would say, with the worst ever title. :-/

Actually, I now feel throughly ashamed of this title. It's lost its humour and sparkle 2 weeks on.

I agree totally... there are moments (e.g. when cash is badly needed), when topics need rammed unceremoniously down people's throats.

If some people WANT stuff rammed down their throats, fine, but I don't want or need that to be aware of whatever campaign it is they're running. It's one of many reasons I barely listen to Radio 1 anymore.

No, never said that. I said that people are more likely to look at this topic as more R1 listeners will already know about Sport Relief as that event has had considerably more coverage on the station than the story of Masturbation.

If I see two topics in a Radio 1 forum, the one that catches my eye most is the one I know least about, I want to learn more about the topic. This was the case with this, I was more than aware of what R1 were doing for Sport Relief, but not aware about a potentially contrversial surgery topic.

I also personally read this thread cos i've found it funny, to a thread about SR as it's every year and it's rammed down our throats everywhere...

See I'm completely the other way around, I didn't mind so much when it was the U2 stuff. Sure the charity events are worthy etc, but they seem to think their listeners are stupid or something at times...

I'm sure all the listeners are aware of and care about these things without being reminded every single link, or do I just have too much faith in some things?

So you don't admire the passion/enthusiasm.... That's one of the things I do

love about R1...... many things have annoyed me over the past year, but one thing I do like is the utter enthusiasm when a project (like S.R. or the Big Weekend) does get underway.

Enthusiasm and passion is fine... what these DJs etc do always feels more forced to me. Also I don't need an endless unrelenting campaign to tell me what a good cause is, I already donate some of what little I have spare to charity.

Also, terrorists and other extremists also have passion for their cause, and use that passion as an excuse to kill, are you saying that's good? (not that the BBC is at that level... yet:P)

I meant, passion in a good way.... not to go and blow up the town!! :-)

Some of these charity missions can feel a little self-indulgent, I would say... the exception being someone having to walk through a sewer. In which case, yep, it can definitely feel forced .....

The thing I enjoyed the most was a couple of years back, when Chappers + Dave went on a tour around the UK, and, even though it must have been Hell, Chappers got utterly transported away with himself a la Bob Geldof... that was beautiful. :-)

That said, I do like the whole Danny Baker Shirt Of Hurt thing that 5Live has going, but maybe that's partly because they don't feel the need to constantly thrust it down the audience's throats, although they do have guests like Chappers on talking about it.

Basically it's for Footy fans (although I guess it would apply to any sport) but means a fan wearing the shirt/strip etc of their favourite team's fiercest rivals. Mainly famous fans, but I don't see why us normos could also do it and get sponsored.

http://www.sportrelief.com/whats-on/news/danny-bakers-shirt-hurt

EG: A Man United Fan wearing an Arsenal or Chelsea Shirt.

For me, it would probably mean wearing a McLaren-Mercedes Shirt to a Grand Prix or something...

I'd be careful about saying you love things forced down your throat around here though :P

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
