This week sees Mills doing the Eurovision semi-final stuff - BBC 3 Tuesday and Thursday.... always good for something to laugh at is Eurovision.

I can hardly believe 'Blue' are entering. I don't like the song, and Lee's vocals are as monstrous as they ever were. I noted on the chart show yesterday that his voicemail is answered with "LEE" in that high-pitched, I really cannot sing, but have managed to be in a Band, voice.

'Blue' have some really *splutter* serious competition, as Jedward (the X-factor rejects) are representing Ireland. With 'competition' like this, they may be very scared indeed.

Only ONE BBC radio station has actually playlisted the song.... at least this saves us all from being tortured to death.

Mills is also up for a Sony Award this week. The Awards are tonight, so look out for all the latest in hot Sony gossip coming soon to a radio near you!! Moyles was saying this morning that Scott will not get an award, as, even though his Show is good, it is NOT as good as his!!

Also look out for a Big Weekend prize of actual breakfast in bed with Scott Mills - apparently wearing clothes is optional!! Okaaayyyy.

Wow you certainly sold the show there. I shall be watching the Sony's closely as I hope that Scott wins, he certainly deserves it.

Good show today, heard most if it due to finishing at 4 this week :) I knew all the songs to the Big Weekend quiz too but as I can't go there is no point in entering.

The Eurovision stuff does my box in... seriously, what sort of person would watch this level of drivel, and actually enjoy it.

The only time I ever enjoyed it was during the 80s when Bucks Fizz were starting out, and ripping their clothes off on stage!!

These days Cheryl off of the Band advertises DIETS on TV. How the mighty have fallen.

Can't be any worse than X-Craptor and Cash-Cowell's other ripoffs of what used to be good Saturday Night entertainment back in the 80s...

It isn't, but it's had it's time..... nobody with any kind of brain cells honestly believes in it. It's the campest thing since tents were invented, and the fact that 'Blue' have felt the need to stick themselves in it is just total desperation of the worst kind.

Jedward, on the other hand, do not surprise me.

Weirdly after sitting through last year's borefest with Norton, I actually liked the winning song. UK's song last year was dire too, and had the most ironic title ever "That sounds Good to me" - yeah, well it didn't to anyone else mate! (I'm guessing he was deaf) :hahaha: Some of the other songs were OK-ish too, when Norton wasn't busy talking all over them, the whole deal was far more entertaining when they had Wogan (usually quite drunk) presenting it and they need to pick someone that isn't Norton, Mills or Cox to reach that again. Wogan presenting turned it into Comedy.

Exactly, but then Mills has always bent over to BBC wishes on various things, at times he might as well be a robot. Much as I sort of tolerated most of last year's show (with the aid of alcohol and MSN), I doubt I'll be watching this year, hopefully I'll be working that night and able to avoid it.

    • 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.
