Scott looks at the site doesn't he? They talk about it an awful lot on his show! Do posts get read out on air? I think it said sometimes they did somewhere on the site?

Do you think radio one bosses look at this site? I don't know what the membership is but I know alot of big businesses pay $$$ for feedback from 'customers'.

Or is there too much anti-Fearne stuff?

a few dj's have been seen with UM on on one of there monitors in webcam pics, Aled, Scott, Beccy, TOWDS, Coxy & Greg look at the site, Moyles knows about it, Edith has mentioned it also, i would think the big R1 bosses have had a look at UM from time to time though.

Is this actually proven or are we winding up Alan and I'm being a bit dim?

I think its serious, I can't quite remember the history, but it has something to do with her either 'ignoring' or 'refusing' Jono on Twitter because of comments about her show on here. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Oh yeah that does ring a bell, did anything go off Jono?

Yup I do seem to recall Edith "blocking" Jono on Twitter. Not much of a loss really. For him.

Anyhow, I reckon those poor researchers at Radio 1 (and TWTDS) do have to trawl through a certain amount of the crap we come up with on here, much like 'bottom feeders' *sniggers*, at the bottom of an ocean.

I'd say UM is a very useful resource for them indeed. This is why it's important to keep it all relevant, lose the text speak, and, just a suggestion, avoid the petty bickering.

Having said this, it would perhaps be nice for the Lord to grace us with his presence every now and then... HINT!

B) SCOTT MILLS! Honestly??! The real one!???! Wow! Does he read private messages?? If I send him one, will he read it?? :woo:

Yeah it's the real mills. He does post occasionally, You'll see them if you click the link on the "Statistics" part of the profile page.

And i doubt it, you'd probably be better off sending him a email. Whether he replies or not depends on whether it's a genuine question.

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.

      Just watched that advert and it made me realise quite how many 'big' specialist presenters there were back then

      I've been reminded of this Radio 1 cinema advert. I remember being so excited to see it. The In New Music We Trust era. Everything felt so cool, even if they had Westwood.

      Arielle Free's wedding

      Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.

      Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.
