This week began with the Birthday Show and a variety of surprise messages for Mills, including one from Britney which he very genuinely seemed to love. Scott shares his birthday today with Lady Gaga!!

A lot of effort / organisation clearly went into the birthday show, but I still found it a little 'flat'.. Didn't enjoy the guest, Matthew, off of 'Glee' (tedious), AND he used the 'S' WORD. OMG. OMG.

My highlight this morning was former Big Weekend stuff, and actual Madonna being played out, in all her glory and supreme brilliance - 10/10 for that.

Didn't like the boring 'Census' talk, which Scott seems bizarrely stressed out about?!? So much so, he is even bringing the form into Radio 1 tomorrow.......... why doesn't he just sit down, give himself a target time of completion, and bang it into the post, without involving a whole load of listeners and colleagues, and half of Planet Earth.

Overall, so far this week 4.5/ 10. - mondays definitely don't work that well, do they ...

hmm frequently when covering Breakfast TOTDS or Becky has time off - you think on Breakfast (the prime time slot) you'd want to be at your strongest or is this a resignation that they won't get breakfast anyway so why bother? PS having met Becky with Matt Fincham she's lovely :)

No, I think he just stresses about everything. I gave myself 1 hour to complete the form - no longer - and just got it done!!

The only bit I failed to 'get' was the fact the Government would be reading, and I have made a short note about "government pointlessness" next to one of the boxes.

The Big Weekend stuff was making my head fizz this morning. Must have been good to have been presenting to a big bunch of school kids, but from a listener point of view, very irritating.

And, as Jono says, the very worst kept secret on Planet Earth. It's been all over twitter for days and days. Get ready for weeks of BW stuff, even when it's finished. #r1bw - well pleased about Lady Gaga though * screams *

0/10 for this morning.

Good shows this week so far, haven't been able to listen to them in their entirety due to smelly work but don't worry everyone...I have downloaded them :)

I like Chris and hope he will stay for a while. Come on BBC R1, keep him!

Still not enjoying this particular week that much - 4/10 :-/ Did enjoy Gaga being played out this morning!!

I think the thought of the BW from now until May may mean I have to have a temporary break with local radio.

It's VERY interesting how many characters there are on Scott's show now. The addition of Chris and Dan is making the show sound more like a proper breakfast show and not something we've witnessed before. There's also TOTDS, Beccy and Posh Radio 4 Lady. Simon and Tulip are also quite active on breakfast too.

I find it very telling about what direction they're trying to take things in. No complaints mind you.

Catching up on the podcasts at the moment.

Don't do it! I tried local radio for drivetime didn't end well, couldn't stand the adverts for more than couple of minutes did classic fm and radio 4, but most evenings just read book or podcasts instead!

Don't have to keep listening though if does get too much as you check your number "We will email you to say if you have been lucky or not between Tuesday 12th April and Thursday 14th April - please check your spam or junk mail folders if you do not hear from us by this time. From midday on Thursday 14th April you will also be able to check online if you have kept your personal registration number."

Not getting too much yet, although I am finding the ability to get "Carlisle" on the air more than tedious. "Lambing Live" comes from Cumbria, so we have to hear about that - a feature suitable far more for local radio I would say.

and the Cotton drew something that looked like the Carlisle football team symbol, so we "conveniently" had to hear about that.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      By Lee E · Posted

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      By NathanS · Posted

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
