Yeah you do realise earlier today it said some cover presenter from The star in the north had got the gig, it's wikipedia for crying out loud! As for people talking about it on cm.net???? Someone on digital spy said ant n dec were getting capital bfast gig but that doesn't make it true. Capital won't go national until at least after 2012, contracts and that innmost stations sorted in September an are a year min, so they'd have to pay off 7 different bfast shows and drivetime presenters nearly a years worth of wages........won't happen.

well it would be a massive step down, there is no station bigger than radio 1 in the uk to be honest with it's coverage n' all. i don't think it's true but if he ever did leave there would be no reason for me to listen to radio 1 in the day.

on the grid.

After tweeting about mills, capital have unfollowed laura sayers now on twitter. what is that all about. like someone else said, best to wait until official announcement is made. i have now put a digital radio on my xmas wish list, so i can still listen to scott...

Have to wonder why the rival station were even following her at all to be honest?

Btw, if nothing else, at least um is busy again. every cloud, o every cloud, lets sing it loud, o every cloud...

I think they unfollowed her because she tweeted that Capital was rubbish..

she's right. we have capital birmingham here and it's dire, it's like they took anything what was good away from galaxy and called it capital/chavital/crapital/calpol.

The thing that got me this afternoon when i switched capital on for first time to get impressions was that it sounded exactly like radio one. In fact, if there hadn't been the capital fm announcements, i would have thought it was radio one. shows how much r1 has dumbed down over the years.

You follow rivals on twitter, so you can watch what they are saying and doing.... of course people will follow laura. i follow about 500 peeps i cannot even stand, as well as keeping an eye on other accounts.

Meh maybe I'm doing it wrong but if people really annoy, I don't wanna read their BS in my timeline. I suspect I have people following me for those reasons though, despite me regularly advising that they don't have to follow etc. But then, I'm not there for numbers alone or anything.

As stated before: The Capital Brand is available nationwide now, and all it's sister stations will merge into one come January, the first commercial station to do so I believe. (so far only their chart show is broadcast nationwide...

so, indeed, the Capital "gig" is gonna be a big one to get !!

From celebritain's website: apparently Dave Berry and Mills are BOTH in negotiations to get the job, with an announcement expected IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

Let's not forget that all important thing!! Money!! And moving to Capital would mean Mills would be paid more !!

Continue to watch this space.... !! :-0 - Mills, meanwhile, continues to remain silent on Twitter.

    • 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.
