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.

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.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
