You make entire cases of resorting to personal insults... I asked a serious question and even pointed out the lack of sarcasm. Just saying. Go back to your new lows in jokes.

I have just had a slightly different thought on Moyles, I'd rather see him leave a station that is being forced to not want him anymore on top of his game in a way than have him fade away in the knowledge he'll be leaving soon but uncertain as to exactly when. That kind of uncertainty could lead to a dip in form, and I'd rather hear him go out with a bang.

Quite frankly, i could say the same about you. as to moyles' position now.... Well, in a way, he could almost have seen this coming, and done a dlt. as it is, it leaves him in a rather awkward position, and, after so long at the top, i feel damn sorry for him. class it as the day the ratings died.

I'm not being funny Viv, but you're really starting to pee a lot of people off. In the past few days, I've been told to get a life and been compared to something from the exorcist. I'm not really paying attention to this 'insults' because frankly, you don't mean a shit to me, but have you thought about the possiblity that the reason this forum is quieter is because you're putting people off by resorting to personal insults over the smallest things, and CONSTANTLY spamming us about Madonna?

I don't think so about Gemma, cos she's only just started her new slot hasn't she? Maybe Annie or Huw but they tend to cover if Zane's not in, so I don't know.

True about Gemma although you never know. With schedule changes coming thick & fast its anyones guess. Watch this space haha

Yeh. Heard this speech on r1 newsbeat. Weeks ago, when he would not give an answer about moyles' future was very telling. moyles and mills BOTH needs to get their arses elsewhere. They are talented men, and they can do better than this. the only thing i agree with about grimmy and greg is that they both came in via student radio.

Yep, At uni..

I think it's a good replacement perhaps a little too early maybe they should have let him have his 10 years.

It's bittersweet for Scott, Bitter as he didn't get the breakfast slot, I'd have put him on breakfast for 6 months minimum but sweet as he's got a 3 year contract on afternoons and Moyles in comparison has been treated badly as it looks like he'll end up with a weekend show. I fully expect Huw to replace Grimmy and Moyles to replace Huw.

I wonder when Cooper made this decision, it is bizzare to change drive and then get a new breakfast presenter six months later! I think it was rather out of the blue as I think he'd have kept afternoons open for Moyles and happily shunted Mills. But Mills is secure at one now (phew).

Grimmy needs to grow a thick skin because listeners will drop and he'll be criticised but I think he is a good choice. Finally Greg's multiple interviews saying how desperate he was for breakfast just make me laugh atm. He might still end up there if Grimmy is the fall guy, who ever replaced Moyles would struggle which is why I'd have let Mills ride the storm.

i really wouldn't want to be grimmy. i won't be listening not because i dislike the guy, i don't. but he's going to have a hell of a battle to pull people round. colin and edith tried but failed to take over from mark and lard, and in the end the whole afternoon structure was altered. this is kind of a similar situation but on a bigger scale.

don't think it would of hurt or caused the end of the world to let moyles get to 10 years on breakfast though.

on the grid.

one good thing.... This should see the demise of cm.net. every cloud....

not really. they have an archive of moyles gold on there, the last thing i'd want to see is that disappear offline. i think moyles will be doing more tv work, he's well and truly got his foot in the door with that. so i guess the site will start to focus on that.

I love CM.Net! The site is more about Chris himself than the show so I doubt that'll go away. There are a few regular posters that'll keep it going.

i think radio 1 should give him a good proper send off. love or hate him he's been one of the best servants the station will ever have, i would love to hear some archive footage from the old afternoon shows and early breakfast etc. but im not holding my breath, this is a station who seem to be ashamed of their history afterall.

Over on Chrismoyles.net there is a ton of old archived shows going back to when he was on Radio Luxembourg, afternoons, early breakfast shows, everything near enough. http://chrismoyles.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=22764#p374470

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Greg is doing Breakfast from 7am-11am on 23rd May which is a thirty minute extension of his usual Friday show and consistent with Big Weekend timings. Also it looks like from the 1st June, Radio 1 Chillout Anthems at 4am is being replaced by Radio 1 Anthems with Maia Beth and will also air at the same time on a Sunday.

      I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.

      I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.

      I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.

      Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok?

      I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.

      Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.

      These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!

      Probably got fed up of the usual moaning bastards all over it, asking for Ken Bruce and Jimmy Young back on air.

      Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national.

      Although a lot of their target audience do seem to be moving across to Instagram now.

      I suppose it's because not a lot of people use Twitter (or X) so maybe it's not worth their time, surprised about Facebook though.

      Surprised to learn Radio 2 and 6 Music are moving away from X and Facebook, I would have thought there's more appeal in Radio 1 doing that instead. Their target audiences still use Facebook, and it's still a key way to reach a good mix of audiences. Agree about X though, don't see any need for it. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2024/05/bbc-radio-2-and-6-music-quit-facebook-and-x-publishing/

      Just wondering…has any DJ got the answer wrong yet? I’ve not heard one and they are pretty tough questions! 😆
