[Viv]

Hmm... So, Scott's in for Chris while he's on holiday then.

[Roy H]

I miss it when hes not on in the afternoons. Still, at least Dev isnt covering......... :

[Viv]

I'm glad Dev's not covering.

Every time Scott goes into brekkie, I often seem to wind up wishing he would stay there!!

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

I don't, I do think he works better in the afternoon and Moyles better in the morning, much as I loved Moyles when he was on in the afternoons too.

[Jono]

A bit of a messy schedule.

[abertom]

Dont think its any more messy when Scott covers breakfast just that Greg gets moved and Huw covers rather than Dev covering and Max or Twin B or being brought in

[Viv]

It's a bit messy... it's not great, but I do like where Scott and Greg are. :-)

[John]

To be fair its not that bad. Its just how it would have been a year ago really, if Edith and Chris was off. Its not a bad line-up. It works to me

[abertom]

just out of interest what would be "great" and not messy?

[John]

In Viv's case 7 til 7 Sara Cox. All Day Cox

[Viv]

That's disgusting.

No, Scott in brekkie.

Then Coxy 10-12:45

Then Zane

Then Greg - the perfect fun schedule

[augusta92]

Surely its messy to move Greg from 1-4 into the drive slot. But i spose its also messy moving Scott to mornings cos most afternoons I forget the changes, switch the radio on and then wonder where Scott is!

[Adam619]

I wonder is this a test for if Moyles leaves after July

[The Stig]

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!

[Chippy]

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?

[Viv]

I think it's bloody insulting as well... just goes to show the insecurity of Moyles, if he wishes to keep his name in the trailers no matter what.

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.

[Viv]

Fascinating, Stiggy!! :-)

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

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...

[The Stig]

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

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

[Viv]

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

[Viv]

So will you eventually be a Dominic Byrne type character??

[The Stig]

Umm more than possible I suppose. Broadcast Journalism gives you experience in lots of areas, so it's quite possible I could end up as a Newsreader, presenter, producer, reporter, and would be happy with any!
