I thought it was an interesting thing just to share with the other UMers. It's certainly something I would perhaps like some change or improvement, but that's just my opinion. I think after Zane was on in the mornings last week it opened up the whole 7pm onwards/new music/speciality part of Radio 1 to a lot of new listeners that are used to the daytime when they are in the car or at work or something.

It also features an interview with someone from Radio 1; not sure who it is, but they help to clear some things up. What do you think? Does anyone else listen to NME Radio sometimes? I'm a big fan of that kind of music so I listen occasionally.

Quite disappointed by the article and the questions. It's unfairly critical of Radio 1 and Chris Moyles.

The specialist takeovers on both Radio 1 and 1Xtra were a refreshing change from what is normally expected from the stations during the day. It is no coincidence in my opinion that the best presentersand the most widely respected DJs on both stations are the ones who have a genuine interest and understanding of music, whatever that genre of music is - eg. Nihal, Trevor Nelson, Chris Moyles, Zane Lowe, Ronnie Herel, Huw Stephens, Benjii B, Jo Whiley, Gilles Peterson, Nick Grimshaw, Mistajam, Annie Mac etc etc.

Radio 1 should really find a way of incorporating the majority of those into the daytime schedules and give them a certain amount of control over the tracklisting (maybe 3/10 tracks to be non-playlisted). The likes of Annie, Huw and the rest have shown time and time again that they are more than deserving of having a daytime show.

By the way, a more direct link to the article - http://www.nme.com/blog/index.php?blog=10&p=9622&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#more9622

I did think that. They did hate quite a bit on Chris and the station generally. I just thought it was relevant to the forum.

Yeah, and from reading the article that's the general 'gist' that I got from it. It would be a great thing to see personally.

It's an interesting read but it's from a biased point of view, it's NME and they love Indie. Obviously they'll want to have more of it.

I think what would be better is if Radio 1 try to turf out the rubbish just because it is from an established artists (I'm Looking at 'Dirty Bit')

The Playlist is quite good but do we need Kesha, Diddy Dirty Money, B.O.B and Nelly? If they just had a bit more quality control it opens up more space for four other acts e.g Chapel Club, Hadouken!, The Streets, Koudlam, Darwin Deez or The National

Oh don't get me wrong I love Moyles. It's a blog post so it's more like the editor's or the writer's point of view rather than a news story which is what they usually do. Don't want to be defending them though; I don't work for them or wrote the article. Oh well. I need to stop being so defensive. I've been told before I'm too defensive. Maybe it's a good thing.

      Jack Saunders' new show

      By BBCAaron · Posted

      I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.

      Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them.

      Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter

      Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.

      Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.

      Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...

      Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.

      I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.

      He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot

      Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later

      I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
