Computer

Recommended Posts

Not sure if I can cope with Zane first thing. Mind you, I probably wont surface till after 10 anyway............ ;)

ahh so you'll be waking up with Fearne and next door's ginger pussy?

which I mean she's obviously bound to talk about... :P

(or is someone also covering for her on Friday?)

Zane and Matt Smith absolutely nailed it.

And not a playlist in site!

I expect Zane to be the next R1 breakfast host when Moyles finally goes and a bloody good one at that.

Can't really see him going from his evening slot straight to Breakfast though... and he wouldn't really fit into a regular daytime slot.

I really don't as Zane doesn't like playing the playlist and has other things to do. Plus he's off for about a month every year and with Zane and Scott competing for amount of days off sick, the breakfast and Drivetime hosts would be off an awful lot together.

I really enjoyed the show this morning, but I think it should be a once in a blue moon thing. However, Zane is very witty and very funny. If he didn't mind going mainstream, I think he'd do a very successful show. I wonder whether Zane would want to though.

he's not doing a linkup with Jake Humphrey for Grand Prix coverage like Moyles usually does the Friday before a race this year... gutted.

Yeah kinda missed it... Don't see why Zane couldn't of done one, maybe it would of lacked the convo and laughs ?

Maybe Zane just ain't interested in F1, Moyles seems to have actually become a fan... (hopefully NOT one of those Gloryhunter Lewis Hamilton fans)

Zane is a small part of the F1 coverage on the BBC he has voiced over some introduction packages to the tracks so even if he is not a F1 fan it would have been nice to see him chat to Jake

Zane's show was just music then Matt Smith chat leading to the versus. Would have seemed a bit out of place to cut away for some F1 chat.

Anyway, I thought the show was excellent regardless. Really refreshing.

This is the difference between Moyles and Zane, Moyles has to interview all kinds of people and has to sound reasonably interested, whilst Zane is 100% music, obviously it was a one off show so he could have done it given he is a tiny part of the coverage but it's the reason he will never be a daytime DJ, can you imagine him interviewing Lewis Hamilton, Holly Willoughby, Louis Spence, Jason Manford, Jamie Oliver etc. and playing quiz shows like carpark catchprase and OWO and talking about what was on TV last night....which is mainly what you have to do to be on breakfast (or drive).

As for his holiday doesn't he has a month off every year which is less than Moyles albeit because he only works half as much as him.

About the show....Listened to bits of it on iplayer it was a great show, you got to respect what he's doing:)

    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
