a good few weeks ago now!

I dont think the website needs updating either really. It already has all the features you are likely to need. Tey should put more time and money in to things that do need changing like the station sound. These new PTM Ra-di-o 1 things are awful

Capes :)

Ye Olde Sam Bailey (Use to be Sam from Online) has hinted at big things coming Radio 1's way in September, possibly including a new radio 1 website. Hopefully some of these features will add even more interactivity to Radio 1.

I like the R1 Site - I would like to see the DJ Record of the Week online faster, because I have to specifically tune in and wait to hear what Mills has to say, before I can get a topic out of it.

Also, I would like to view far more shows online. The red button idea is genius and it should be used more and more...

I thought R1 had live webcams.... How come people on twitter were commenting on Olly Murs in with Scott.

Also, Records of the Week start on a Monday, so they really should be put out there on Monday... I had several people asking me on Twitter last night what Scott's record of the week is... See!! It causes a lot of confusion because it is being posted at a point where the record of the week is pretty much almost finished.

They go up on Wednesday after playlist.... The newsbeat site needs updating, and the site needs to be coded in html 5...

Live webcams are probably the next big move, I think radio 2 has live webcams...

5Live definitely do, but they've expanded it to more shows now, used to be just the 2-4 slot so Richard Bacon mon-thurs and then Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode on Fridays, think even Up All Night uses it now.

They have the live webcams, but only turn them on if a guest is in, or for Innuendo Bingo I think :) And I really like the red button idea.

Red button is impractical as they need an OB truck and satellites dish etc. on the road, and is expensive to hire the road. BBC sold a freeview red button channel, so only have 1.... And, if they were to build a satellite it would only be working for a couple of years until they move.

So much sense and knowledge in such a small paragraph.

I think it's safe to assume the new site will closely resemble the nice Teen Awards and Big Weekend pages. Still can't get used to the fragmented Radio 1 logo though - I understand that they don't want two BBC logos in close proximity, but it makes the branding look like completely different from what everyone's used to. It's the same with the rest of BBC Online.

    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
    • His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
