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.

    • Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.
    • I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience. 
    • Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?
    • Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different. 
    • They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.
    • Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.
    • Yes and thats the huge selling point after 6pm as always has been in the evening. As when I started listening to radio 1 about eleven twelve years ago its the station that got me into music new and familiar artists and bands. I think the issue with a lot of the new music shows being crammed in length of the shows and not all is live there’s less chance for a presenter to tell you about the band or artist or have the impression of chatting to the listener by reading out texts and emails or including voice notes. I’m really enjoying Jack Saunders’ new music show as thats how you do a show like that on Radio 1 good mix of genres but from 10pm onwards you don’t have the presenter chatting to the listener or that live feel as sometimes you need at that time.
    • Given one of yesterday’s ‘bangers’ was Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, I doubt it.
    • No chart show on the 24th May because of Big Weekend.
    • How has it been working early mornings as a parent, Chris? Is it harder to juggle than the 1-4 slot?
    • I still think Dua Lipa could make the line-up. She's in the Live Lounge soon. Would be a scoop if they had two of the key Glastonbury performers.
    • Is the three bangers after nine idea meant to compete with Ten Minute Takeover? 
    • Connor Coates is in for Charlie Hedges on Saturday 18th May. Kerrie Cosh is in for Jess on Sunday 19th May.
    • But if Radio 1's big selling point is new music it's strange. Clara fell a bit flat in comparison to her predecessors because she wasn't shaped in the same way as Annie or Zane.
    • Yellowcard. Simple Plan. Obie Trice.
