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.

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
