I guess its different with specialist DJs as it's their knowledge, experience and musical output that matters. Fabio, Grooverider, Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Mary Nightingale, Rob Da Bank, Ras Kwame, Westwood, Gilles Peterson, Trevor Nelson, Ronnie Herel and even Nihal are all at least in their mid-late 30s/early 40s. As they're not necessarily chasing ratings and the 15-29 audience, I guess the management don't see their age as important as those who represent the stations mainstream image and are apart of R1's daytime schedule.

You make a very valid point here, although I think ratings are considered important for specialist shows as well as the daytime mainstream. Yes, I think maybe a lot of the 15 - 29 audience will not listen to much on R1 when Scott's show finishes at 7pm.

Weirdly though, if you think of when most of those DJs actually joined Radio1, a lot of them were early-mid 20s at the time, hell even Jo Whiley joined quite young, she kinda started out specialist and went mainstream though much as I would like her to be more specialist at times (as she did it well)

I agree it would be great to make Jo Whiley more specialist...I am thinking say 3 in the morning in a locked room with no broadcaste equipment.

Does it show? I met her once and she was the rudest person I have ever, ever met. That is beside the point though. I always hated her DJ style and the way she thinks she is so on the ball.

:shock:

WOW... I just noticed this... you met actual Jo Whiley!! WOW. I find it hard to believe she was this rude actually.

Hi Viv. I promise she was. To name drop in a shameful way it was back stage at a Rufus Wainright gig. He was lovely and so was Lard off of Mark & Lard but Old Whiley pants was just awful... I bet her Mum loves her though. I am sure she will loose no sleep over it.

:P

If you read Moyles' book he says that Whiley pretty much blanked him for a year or so when he first joined Radio 1. Seems like the sort of person who's nice enough to friends and VIPs but will struggle to give you the time of day otherwise.

You know what, I've actually heard many people say this. At first I found it hard to believe that she's that bad but after hearing so many people who've met her/seen her in person say this you begin to realise there must be some truth to this.

Man I am glad it's not just me...well not glad it's not a good thing. She must just think all people outside her circle are plebs. At least radio 1 knew to retire her to the weekend slot. I always got the feeling she hated Greg james. She would always stick in little digs about him. I know Fearne got her slot but she def thought something nasty about lovely Greg. XX :*

I'm not a big fan of Jo Whiley but all that clip says is that she was fed up of having to sleep in a tour bus and gets stressed out quite easily. I think most people doing her job would though, I'm not saying she's not rude but I think that vid is a bit of an exaggeration.

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By onlyME · Posted

      On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones.

      The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
