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 :)

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
