Dev in for Greg

Recommended Posts

Dev sits in for Greg next week 15-19th March.

Matt Edmonson will sit in for Dev.la

I'm surprised Greg is having a week off just one week after the launch of the Chart Update.

Since he started on this show he had a week of for Christmas during which Nihal filled in and other than that he's had no time off, so I think chart or no chart he deserves a holiday!

The time off is more to do with moving into a new flat/apartment/house than taking time off for the sake of is it and he has had a couple of days off here and then

Yes... Also, he is training for S.R. - he will shortly be setting up a Sport Relief page, where we can all sponsor him!! :)

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

I do hope its not "Hi I'm Dev I normally do early breakfast" every link!!

It's more likely to be "Hi I'm Dev off of earlieeees.."

I actually gave Dev a listen this morning and I thought he was really good! Made me laugh out loud a few times waking up the mother in the process. :* He's definately getting better which, quite frankly, early breakfast is all about. After all, he is the next big thing at Radio 1 ;) He's getting a lot better and sounding more confident and comfortable than he was a few months ago so if his recent performances are anything to go by he should do a good job covering for Scott.

in my opinion i think they should put Matt on gregs show!

I still don't see what all this hype is about Matt. I have listened to him on the 'Big 5' and don't really find him that funny...

Anyway i'll keep an open mind for Sunday at 10....

I liked him but I can tell it's a sense of humour that appeals to few.

I like the name drop feature. I sense Fearne Cotton might be a major perpetrator of this. I actually think Scott won't be far behind.

I dont have a problem with him saying who he is, its just not necessary to keep saying 'I normally do early breakfast' I've only heard it once up to now today though. ;)

    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
