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.

Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies...

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.

Who Is She?! Who Is She?! Where Did You Find Her?!

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.

    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
    • Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.
