I do wonder who'll do the Chart Show if Greg is still ill on Sunday.. Scott's away to 'The Hotel' and Reggie's busy.

Last time that happened it was Dev, but I think he is off as Deacon is covering Huw and covering for Dev next week..

Wow, what a kick in the nuts for SM. I only listen to the radio when at home in my garage, so time of day is no issue to me. However, I download every single SM daily podcast and listen to them religiously when I'm working - I work abroad and it helps keep me sane when on long trips driving round Europe, I hope all the features are still there.

I'm 6 months behind with the podcasts, so this hasn't been announced yet, I heard on Chris Moyles show this morning. I'm still unsure what "Go On Pigs" is about too!

I like Greg, but it certainly looks very disrespectful to Scott, his show (podcast) is the only one I bother with.

Anyhow, I'll keep doing 40 of those & there will also always be a place in my heart; for a horse for one bin. Who can forget CJ Cans off of stupid street?

So, in summary.... [bBC]If it's not broke, break it[/bBC].

40 of those

Apologies for the lateness of this reply.. Upon hearing the new's that SM was swapping with GJ I was very dissapointed as with the exception of SM and Moyles (and possibly Vernon). Every DJ on Radio is bland, boring and talks nonsense (in particular Cox's). I have never enjoyed GJ and just don't get it.

At 37, I get I don't fit into the Radio 1 demographic. Which I find extremly odd as I don't fit into the Radio 2 bracket either. IMO, I thought Radio 1 extra was more geared towards the younger generation (15-25)?

Now here's the facts. Radio 2 has the bigger audiance because there is a larger audience of 50+ listening to the radio than any other demographic. Going by this logic, is there not a bigger audience of 30-50 than 15-30? Assuming so, why would you turn this away by aiming for a younger demographic? Also, the 4-7 show is called the drive time show for a reason. i.e the majority of listerners are driving home from work. The biggest proportion of people driving at the time are not aged 15-30!!

So with SM you had an established DJ who people actually like, just as you have with Moyles. Go on any forums and you will see where the majority of luv sits. I have yet to see a high proportion of followers or forums say how good the likes of Cotton, GJ, Cox are (in fact the opposite).

I didn't want to do the usual knee jerk reaction and not give GJ a chance, so I have listened to see if he can deliver. Unfortunatly, he hasn't and his style is the same nonsense as it was before - which no one liked then and no one likes now.

I'm sure Radio 1 will not miss 1x 37 year old listerner, however I do not think I am alone and I hope the figures reflect this and show them what a big mistake it was. How the management team thought this was a good idea is totally beyond me as not a single part makes sense!

I guess the next question is, how long does Moyles have before Radio 1 decide he is too old?? If you lose him, then I am guessing Radio 1 goes back to days of Mark Lard, Zoe Ball and Cox's. And just in case you don't remember that, their listening figures plummted so low, that Radio 1 was close to being shut down! He aint called the saviour for nothing!!

Have to agree with every word. it is just ignorance on behalf of mr ben cooper. think i said before that this is a time period which will go down in radio one history (for the worst reasons).. i cannot imagine how cooper simply thinks he is gonna get rid of listeners over a certain age. if you like new music, you're gonna stick around. and, like you say, a lot of radio two's output IS too old.

My guess is that they haven't actually listened to Greg's show. If he gets the breakfast show, they better have some personality implants ready for him.. Don't think people want to be getting bored in the mornings.

Been listening to Radio 1 a lot over study leave and the half-term, and have noticed how crap the playlist is at the moment (There are quite a few good songs on the PL, just not played enough, and there are far better songs at the moment - Grimmy has been playing some great songs (him and Annie on Sunday is hilarious).

In terms of presenters, Chris is great (as per), Fearne is even more vapid than I remember, Scott has been vastly improved (compared to 4-7),and Greg is just unsuitable for Radio 1 - his 1-4 show was good and a bit mental, but the new show has nothing going for it, sadly.

I just saw this thread and read the title as 'Scott Mills to Wife Swap with Greg James'. That would be amazing. Greg could spend a week with Bradley, Scott's bf, and once Greg gets a girlfriend who doesn't immediately dump him for Skrillex (WTF???), Scott can spend the week with her.

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

OOOoo ... definitely a bit of the bitch there. I LOVE it !!!! I felt Mills was totally sarcastic earlier in the week when he was saying "I love all things BBC" (or something similar), when he was actually going out for dinner with Stark.

Sarcastic? Really?

"What am I doing at 9?" "What are you doing at 9 Scott?!" "I'm listening to x, and what about 10?" "I'm listening to x, and do you know what else I'm doing at 9?" "no" "Watching Britain Unizziped, I love the BBC!!"

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.

      I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
