Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[brandz]

any ideas what will replace oh whats accuring at 5.20?? maybe something from the past returning?

[Jono]

They're only resting it, I don't think they're planning to replace it?

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

as long as it's not a constant run of '(so-called) Best Of Oh!'

[Tom.]

is flirt divert banned now?

[Viv]

I don't think it's "banned"... the feature just went out of fashion, that's all.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Surely the Mills decides what's in and out of fashion? (like he has with bumping off Oh! for a bit as he's getting bored.

Yeah, probably.

I thought the bbc trust banned things like flirt divert...

[Banto]

First post!! Gonna miss a bit of OH! in the afternoons!!!

Oh? Not seeing why, it's not like it's a competition with prizes or a prank call that someone could be offended by etc? :?: It's also a kinda low-cost feature too. Did they state a reason for that?

[Tom.]

I think they did a blanket ban on all prank calls (I suppose they make an exception for internal calls, or maybe those that agree to be aired)

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Ah so a case of one idiot ruining it for everyone as usual... (or in this case 2 idiots and a pianna?)

[Lucie]

They banned calls in which they made the person seem 'inferior' or 'victimised' didn't they? Not sure of the exact wording.

I suppose Flirt Divert can be seen to be that type of feature, but since Radio 1 didn't actually call the other people then they might be able to escape the wrath? Not sure.

They'd need a new number to do it anyway. I love the feature but I doubt it'll return
