If you just bought a tv from the shop and it has digital channels it'll be freeview you're watching it on. I'm watching it on freeview, so glad I bought a booster aerial last week cos without it I wouldnt be watching any of this.

I only had a few hours sleep last night and I feel so sleep deprived. How the hell are they coping?

I have absolutely no idea how they are coping either. I was gonna try and get a few hours sleep overnight but that ended up being 6, and I felt very tired all morning as well.

I'm confused by something. I thought Chris had to drive the desk for this record to count? How was he in the truck with Greg and then the song started playing? surely someone else would have had to be at the desk in order to hit the buttons to get the song playing, and Dave doesnt know how to work it does he?

Have I perhaps misunderstood what "driving the desk" means?

I think the Olly Murs impression is about the time when Chris finally cracked haha

Tip for anyone watching the live stuff in the UK, if you can watch it on the red button do that instead. In my experience from the 24hr Panel People stream a few weeks ago you can quickly rack up a huge download usage. I forgot for a while that it was a live stream I was watching then discovered I'd used up nearly 4GB that afternoon.

Did I miss a total or did that jump by over 100K in an hour at 1 point?

No you didnt miss a total it did a 120k jump between two updates.

Im a bit concerend as on other forums people seem tho think this is the record their aiming for http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/Search/Details/Longest-marathon-hosting-a-radio-talk-show-(team)/73108.htm but on air they seem to tink the current record is 50h .

Edit: according to a person on chris's forum the jump is because they added the online donations for the first time.

Edit 2 : anyone else sick of eminem needing a doctor and Black and Yellow (black and decker), this marathon has made me realise how repetitive the playlist is

Sorry if for any spelling mistakes, I'm dyspraxic.

Thanks for that, I was sure there had been a huge jump but wanted to be sure.

I'm a bit confused by the numbers as well. I hope they get it right and go the the right amount, would hate to see them falling short by an hour or even half an hour although they all seem fairly certain as to what they are doing. I'm convinced the red button coverage must be eligible for some sort of record as well, interactive television broadcast or something like that perhaps?

37 and a half hours on air and over a million pounds raised... truly awesome stuff. Massive congrats to Chris and Dave. :D

Anyone want to start taking bets on whether they'll last through to tomorrow morning and break the world record?

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

    • 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.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
