The plan means BBC Switch will be shut down - along with radio station BBC 6 Music as well as the Asian Network as a national radio station.

It seems so. Unless they go back on the proposals. BBC 6 Music may, though its unlikely, be saved but Switch won't I'm 99% sure.

BBC Swith is finishing up next year so I'd expect to see this years September's changes beginning the phasing out process of the brand.

I forgot that. WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE CUT?????????

Axing Switch is an odd decision tbh, I'm not really a fan of their material (I don't tune in to the tv/radio to be patronised!) but surely either

A) It will stay in all but name

or

B) In a few years time people, as they did 3 years ago, will moan that the BBC don't cater well enough for 12-17 year olds and another Switch esque brand will be launched.

Btw, anyone else think Tom Deacon, despite being lumbered with the awful remit/format of the Switch show, is actually pretty good at radio? Much better than Edmondson and Dev imo.

It will be cut. :D I thank you I'm here all week try the veil.

That's not fair. I'll complain. I tried to about the cut of BBC Switch but got half way through it and Internet broke :L I mean, there is Cbeebies, CBBC and then it's just normal BBC. And the BBC isn't that amazing. I watch Doctor Who on it atm and that's it. God knows why Eastenders is such a well liked soap. No one in it can act. They didn't deserve TEN awards at The British Soap Awards. Danny Miller was fucking robbed.

I hate the BBC, I have now decided. The only thing I like about it is R1.

Oh, very funny btw. *rolls eyes*

I thought you liked Waterloo Road? That's BBC.

My goodness, that's a pretty funky donkey!

I like matt. dislike tom and dev.

All of them are likeable people but thats part of the problem they're all pretty boring. I think Matt's good on Fearne's show and maybe he'd be better suited as a side-kick. Tom Deacon I've hardly listened to, but I imagine he's good for the audience and Dev is ok but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to him. It's no coincidence that there's millions of people who hate Moyles...

Dev is amezzin'! I have to get up early every day before Moyles is on air, so he's kind of my breakfast show. He's doing a very well job, he often makes me laugh. I like him.

"I like Franziska. Sounds mad as a box of frogs, but we like her." (Dev)

Fair enough, The only time I listened to him live in the morning I'd just come back from a night out, but mainly listen to him when he covers in the day time and I don't think he suits him but maybe his easy going style suites the small hours well.

    • 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!
    • 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
    • Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
    • 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.
    • Moyles spent most of the 52hr sgow calling him that lol
    • 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  
    • 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?
    • Maia Beth is doing Friday Early Breakfast on 7th & 14th June.
    • Joel Mitchell is in for Nat on Sunday 9th June.
    • Ore Olukoga is on 13.00-16.00 on Friday 31st May and Friday 7th June.  Nikita Kanda is doing Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
    • 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.
    • Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.
