For me, a big well done to Radio 1. Greg covers drive time brilliantly, I think we should be hearing more of Huw on daytime, and I don't think Radio 1 have anyone more suibtable to cover at the moment than those two. Perfect decsision for me, I suggested they do exactly that in another thread but said it would never happen!

Why does Scott in the mornings still have to be called The Chris Moyles show with Scott Mills?

Ok it's a joke, I guess but isn't it a bit insulting to Scott?

We've been through this so many times it's untrue. But here we go again.

When Moyles first started on breakfast and Scott used to cover Scott did a lot of Chris's features. Therfore The Chris Moyles Show with Scott Mills came about. However in recent years Scott has stopped doing Chris's features and now bar a coupele of Moyles jingles out the news and the odd bit of Moyles backing music Scott does his own show, leaving many to ask why it sill is the CM Show with Scott.

However, the reason it's still done is not an insult to Scott, it is keeping a corporate image for the Radio 1 Breakfast Show alive. I study Communication within the media and it is this sort of stuff radio stations do. It is corporate imagery, not an insult to Scott or Vernon when he fills in. The Chris Moyles Show is more than just Chris's show, it's Radio 1's breakfast identity, a essential part of any radio station. Keeping this in tact while the regular presenter of this makes sense.

Well when someone fills in for Scott it's still called the Scott Mills show isn't it? same difference. Same happens on the other stations too... last week Richard Bacon was off and there was some guy filling in but it was still listed as Richard Bacon's show...

Fascinating, Stiggy!! :-)

Sarcasm? What happened to everyone trying to get on Viv?

Yeah exactly, happens all the time especially with key shows on networks.

That wasn't sarcasm... I put a smiley at the end to show that. I did find your post very interesting, because I'm not a media student.

Ah well in that case I take that back and thank you very much. I study Media, as well as Media Communication and Culture. Not saying I'm an expert but it's that sort of stuff we look at in minute and a geek like me finds it all very interesting. Off to do Broadcast Journalism next year which will be more of the same :)

    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
    • Jess Iszatt is in for Jack on Monday 27th May.
    • The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni
    • Vick, Katie, Jamie, Charlie and Melvin will be on at 11am. Then Matt, Mollie, Charlie and Jamie at 1pm.
