New Year's Eve With Mills

Recommended Posts

If anyone gives a s***, or isn't already pissed beyond redemption, Mills will be on R1 on New Years Eve with the Floorfillers, blah, blah - the floorfillers will last an entire three hours.

He will also return to the radio on January 2nd with the Chart Show, and returns for his normal (whatever that is) Show on January 10th 2011.

Woo.

I'm just annoyed at the Xmas disruption to scheduling. I've been with local radio all week. It's time for things to get back to their normal routines.

Floor fillers isn't one of my fave things either. The Chart Show with Mills I may listen to though. Interested to hear who gets number one.

Yeh, well sorry, but the holidays and absences (with Mills in particular) are now out of control. You can so tell Mills is gonna quit radio, and there's gonna be no-one decent at 4 pm anymore. Moyles too is gonna go... good times are over, I feel.

Holidays are OK initially... well, for about 48 hours, then they become very, very annoying. If I got to be PM, I would actually BAN people from taking holidays altogether. *

* I mean it.

Yep, just not every 5 minutes!!

My local radio, whom I have been with over the holidays, did a better job at being consistent. DJs in their regular slots, not too much Xmas, or celebrity stuff... everything going along nicely.

R1 over Xmas is a bloody joke, and it's shocking thing really that a local station can pull stuff off better than a national!!

err I think Scott only had a week off on actual holiday didnt he?

He had Uganda (non R1 related); Australia (non R1 related), then a Xmas and New Year Break - now he's in L.A.

Seriously, why bother gracing us with his presence, as, next thing, he's off again, and I have to get my head round someone else.

L.A. also means he is gonna come back with a vast array of L.A. "Celebrity" stories, and bore me to death. Time for some new material. And, as I said before, new features. *

* Then I will be happy ........................ (maybe).

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
