Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

[Tom.]

It would be hilarious for them to replace Scott's voice on the Sports Relief Vernon Kay trailer with Greg's...

[y0david6]

I'm assumming Becky and one that doesn't speak are moving with scott

[Tom.]

I think there is about to be some horrendously awkward radio now...

Shall deffo be catching up on this show!!

[y0david6]

Do you think they will even discuss it on air

[Jono]

Scott's tweets from last night say it all for me really. Clearly f*cked off.

He'd clearly just had a few. Often people dread reaction like this more than the actual proposal.

Clear hint there that Greg James will be the next man on breakfast. Wondering whether Ben Copper seriously is unable to find someone better, because Greg is alright, but never in a thousand years will be be able to handle a breakfast show. I find him rather boring.

Shame to see Scott being pulled away from drive. I assumed his ratings were rather good, so he doesn't really deserve being demoted. I sincerely hope that he finds a great opportunity for a career after Radio 1.

Personally, I won't bother tuning in to Radio 1 often. Radio 1 without Moyles, Whiley and Mills on daytime won't be my cup of tea, so good riddance, I think, puts it quite well.

What did he actually say on twitter?!

GUTTED is not the word!! Scott is clearly THE best DJ on there...I only ever listen to Scott, the rest of the time it's boring. Greg James is like a cardboard cut out...no personality whatsoever!

I want to cry a little bit.

It IS a slap in the face. I agree. i won't be able to listen to most of this. Ben cooper is a prick, imo. james is younger, and it fits in wiv radio one's yoof obsessions. Assholes. Just blast the station into space next.

[Viv]

As to a few? had a few? a few bottles judging by some of the tweets last night. I am convinced this is why he is going to see a psychic lady.

[y0david6]

I just hope they keep the show like it is now - fun and lively . Got a bad feeling Scott won't be on the air for much longer which is a travesty as I think he's amazing

tbh that's what Cooper is doing. Circumstances for Radio are getting more and more difficult by itself. Then there is Greg, who's just not up to it and will deliver a ratings disaster. I guess he and Cooper will be out by 2015 after having failed completely.

Another rubbish shake up. Don't agree with moving Scott, and why is Fearne still on!

Aw come on it's the biggest radio station in the world and after nearly 10 years he's still going to be in the afternoons! Pretty good going I'd say. It's going to be a new challenge for him and hopefully will allow him to branch out into new projects too.

First step, afternoons, second step weekends, then night time.

Greg is just rubbing it in now:

So...this is the best day ever. I can't wait. Thank you for all your messages. We're going to have a lot of fun loverrrrs

[the_grove]

If Cooper wants to freshen things up a bit, get someone new for early breakfast, put Greg on weekends or somewhere and find someone new for 1-4 as well. What Cooper is doing makes some sense, but Greg James simply isn't the future of Radio 1, no matter how hard he tries and now matter how much Cooper believes he is.

[tweetie]

why couldn't they leave things the way they were.

It's so wrong for Scott to be demoted. I wouldn't be suprised if he wasn't to go to another radio station

[Tom.]

I love Greg James, but he is cut from the same radio cloth as Scott and Chris so it will never liven up the station by promoting him...

[Tom.]

This news is not being well received by the listeners:

https://twitter.com/#!/search/"Greg James"

[the_grove]

swapping champions league for league one. of course people notice that there is something wrong with that...

[rosie_posii]

Can't believe they're moving Scott... And Jamila Jameel for god's sake!!!! ARGHHHHHHH

[the_grove]

the only good news is getting Gemma Cairney on Radio 1. She's well lively.

(there may be some more good news, but it's all hidden behind the massive bad news)

[rosie_posii]

I think I might cry.... can't believe this. I was on twitter in maths, and saw this... practically started to hyperventilate. STUPID RADIO 1 BOSSES.

And Fearne Cotton is still there!!!

[y0david6]

not being taken well on my timeline - i like greg but scott is amazing - 8 years he has been in that slot - that not count for anything - majorly pissed off here

[Akita]

I think Greg's original promotion from Early Morning was a good move but they should have just left it at that. He has not developed from there that much and he is not entertaining enough to replace Scott. Plus his features are quite poor. Scott's slot and Breakfast Show should be reserved for teams. Radio 1 are obsessed with changes - any change seems good change to them.

It will be interesting to hear the Dance Anthems but I think it should be on at 7 instead of replacing the Request Show.

I think most people are...

[Lee.]

do think the backlash against Greg James on twitter isn't fair and i suppose should be aimed at the bosses, the generation of Mills and Moyles will be hard to top or replicate without ruining radio 1's reputation and the bosses are so stretching them out to keep everyone happy until they find a suitable replacement for them both.
