Does anyone know when you can find out how many listeners Scott and Greg are gettting?

It's too early to say yet, as the RAJAR data hasn't been collected, but Radio 1 should know which is the most popular show by May 16th

The finding a seat thing is a bit like Laura going out as a nun, or pushing to the front of checkout queues because "I'm a Lesbian, I need to go to the front of the queue". Good stuff.

I dont't even know what that is. Have to go. Too stressed to talk.

Wi-Fi? Wireless Internet. Basically like using 3G (mobile Internet) but less expensive. Most people at home either have that, which they access through something called a router, or 'ethernet', which is through cables rather than wireless. You'll often see Wi-Fi in places like cafes, libraries, train stations, places like that.

Greg's show sounded better yesterday then it did Monday/Tuesday. The chart update heading up drive-time sounded really weird though.

I think the best part was that Greg tried out some new things, i.e the link with Grimmy (sounded like something straight out of Scott's show). Although he did rudely cut over Grimmy in the first link and I think the reason it was good was because he interacted with somebody else and it doesn't hurt it was the hilarious Grimmy. (Think he ought to have been given drive not Greg if they insisted on moving Scott)

Still Scott's shows into Greg really highlights the difference in quality.

NB: Will be interesting to see if Grimmy and Greg do a 4 o clock handover (like Huw and Scott did!!)

I think things have been ok so far. I've missed a couple of shows though, and I have to admit... I'm not listening to Greg as much as I used to since the swap. I can't quite put my finger on why yet. I used to live to Greg, then Scott. So why can't I listen to Scott, then Greg? o_O

Ah well. Less Radio 1 for me. I rarely listen in the morning as it is. I do love Chris, but I'm usually not feeling "awake enough" for his very loud and energetic show. It's a great show - I just need some quiet time most mornings. ^^;

And it's even rarer that I'll listen after 10. Eventhough it's a time when, if I'm home, I'm awake and ready to go. And it's a time I feel more "in the mood" for some good music... I just can't stand Fearne. I find her extremely irritating and I was really disappointed to find out she hadn't been moved. =/

Glad to see the PR4L is still on the show.

Do Scot's team ever look on here, I know they did in the past which is how I found you guys but that was years ago.

Sorry if for any spelling mistakes, I'm dyspraxic.

Also noticed Scott Mills Daily is currently #3 on iTunes! That's the highest it's been in ages and the new one isn't up yet!
I'd expect so given the amount of tweets he's given it ;)

    • 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!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • 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 
    • 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.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • 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.
    • 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 
    • I’m thinking the same redding and Leeds etc 
    • -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
