A lad I follow on Twitter @oliverdean21 has been exclusively down to Radio 1 to meet actual BEN COOPER. He has been to grill him about all things Radio 1, including changes us listeners would like... !!

This programme is called "Feedback with Roger Bolton", and will be broadcast on Radio 4, this Friday, June 22nd 2012, at 4:30 p.m.

Think this could be well interesting !! Really, really interesting !! I am wondering just how he will come across, and how willing he would be to actually take on board some of the listeners' comments/ideas for the future.

Don't miss this !! :hahaha:

This was good towards the end. One of the younger listeners did not like presenters like fearne cotton coming in, as she felt she could not relate to tv personalities winding up on the radio. also, ben cooper said mills was a brilliant broadcaster but he felt james was for the younger generation. he would not be drawn on moyles future.

I thought Cooper was a bit pathetic tbh

They asked him about Mills and James he said he thinks James 'represents the younger generation' and Scott's funny features and stories are best suited to afternoon.

1. So what does he want from Drive stories which are not funny, if so James is a good choice

2. The reason why they moved is because he thinks Mills is too old why not say that rather than the exscuse he thinks he is better on afternoons

3. The assumption that James is for a 'younger generation' as he is younger baffles me. If you listen to Scott's show with features like Innuendo Bingo you realise his show is more silly, immature and young than Greg's

I thought he was patronising saying something like "Mills had built up his career on the funny stuff and innuendos" (something like that). It was like he was saying that was ALL he had, and nothing new to offer?!

Oliver Dean tells me it was VERY HEAVILY edited. I think that came across really. I felt Roger Bolton was quite cheeky with Cooper at one point, but he STILL could not get any real information out of him.

What came across was listeners will always prefer DJs who come in via Student Radio, or are very talented, compared with "celeb" types, like Fearne, who are too far away from their own lifestyles.

Would NOT be surprised if there was something else entirely behind all this.

Yup. Cynical, but I agree. The presenter even seemed to emphasise Moyles' age at one point, saying Moyles at THIRTY EIGHT. Every where you turn, Moyles seems to have a different age !! :hahaha:

www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/ - go to Feedback - it's still there for another 6 days.

BTW, that makes Chris the SAME AGE as Scott. *ahem*

No one of my age I knows really cares how old presenters and DJ's are, its just about what theyre like. For example I dont care that Westwood is 50-odd I just dont like him cos I find him annoying and the way he speaks annoying.

Although since Britain Unzipped Greg has earned himself a lot of new teenage girl fans which may help with his ratings (probably wont though. I know very few who still voluntarily listen to radio)

And I won't sit down,

And I won't shut up,

But most of all I will not grow up <3

I have never liked westwood either. Drove me mad on r1. dunno about radio popularity going down. jeremy vine had a bit on his twitter about radio remaining popular because everything is FRESH. you listen to songs on your ipod, well, you put them there. whereas radio is choosing stuff for you, and you can randomly hear stuff you have not heard before.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
