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.

      Dean and Vicky - what happened?

      By lochnessa · Posted

      Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.

      It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.

      Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name.

      Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me.

      Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.

      The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!

      The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      When Scott and Chris announced their departure from R1, I remember there was lots of speculation about who would take over the 1pm slot. Matt and Mollie were talked about a lot on here, and at the time I really didn't rate them as a replacement. A few years on, I see that I was totally wrong. They are such a good pairing, and it's the same kind of duo as Scott and Chris, in that they are real life friends, who spend time together in their real lives, which really does come across on air. True friends having a laugh together, and everyone is invited is how it feels to me now. I never thought about it before, but I agree with @coffeeandgin that Mollie is the Scott of the duo - pop obsessed and maybe a litte ditsy, but so funny, and in need of someone to anchor to or bounce off.  It seems that Matt is the kind of Chris of the duo then in that comparison, the one with the ideas, but also needs another person to make the magic happen. I know I'm outside of the R1 demographic, and maybe Dean and Vicky were meant to be younger and fresher, but I'm sure in my younger years I would have preferred to listen to two people who had a genuine connection and could really make each other laugh, as well as have the listeners laugh along. That was the Scott and Chris factor for me, and I think the only pair that come close to that now are Matt and Mollie.
