BBC Radio 1 have released another advert for the new Radio 1 Breakfast Show. I can't help but chuckle at the end bit "now with added music."

Greg James is off to Africa for Comic Relief. Read it here, r1newspost.wordpress.com.

aaaand the pointless prejudging before it's even given a chance continues. I expect this kind of crap from Viv, but the rest of you? Massively disappointed in every single one if you unwilling to give the guy even a listen :|

(especially since quite a number of you, INCLUDING VYVYAN told me at one point I should give Coxy 'another chance' when I'd already tried to listen to her and just hated everything I heard... but I at least gave it a shot, f***ers)

Professional eater of puppy dogs, baby heads and killer of grannies...

By 'more music' they probably mean 'more money for us'

What a ridiculous statement. Radio 1 has to pay out more money for royalties, the more music it plays.

Although Chris Moyles is end of an era I am excited about what is coming. Its new, fresh, and exciting. Chris Moyles format was getting tired and the evidence shows that by drop in listenership. As MrDH says above, give him a chance for god sake! Everyone thought Chris Moyles wasnt going to be around long and look how far he got.

I think you are missing the concept! Radio 1 PAY the record companies royalties for paying the songs, not the other way round. Also the playlist is basically a opinion by production team of what should be played on Radio 1 to fit the brand image/target audience. But the record companies do visit to say why they think they should play their artists song, as the more popular the record company can convince them its going to be, the more popular itll be on radio, therefore more listenership hopefully blah blah blah.

Hope this is helpful:

Finally some people seeing sense, VIV... please be quiet. Yes Moyles was this and that and lots of other stuff *blah* *blah* *blah* but let's be honest his show got boring and his listeners were too old for the station, finally Grimmy comes in and is going to genuinely play GOOD MUSIC, as well as fun chat etc... i'm going to give him a really good chance, plus why are you all complaining about music, scott plays music all the time.... and this is a SCOTT MILLS FORUM.

anyway rant over, good to get that off my chest.

oh and another quick thing, Moyles has been a real dick to grimmy, yes i like moyles before you ask. he would probably say it was tongue and cheek but tbh most of his listeners won't take it that way and already aren't, i'm sorry but even if you don't like the decisions that are being made you shouldn't abuse the person who has no say whatsoever in the decision...

hello

Do you have a clue what you are on about?

On the day Grimmy was announced, him and Chris went for drinks, and ending up kissing (as per the pic on twitter). Doesn't sound like he's being a dick. He's having a laugh, get over it, and yourself.

yes, i didn't deny that they got on well and as i said it was said in a tongue and cheek way but moyles did regularly say that grimmy was going to be crap which actively encouraged his moyles fans to behave like dicks to grimmy...

Moyles was not being serious when he was talking about Grimmy. Like 90% of the things he says, it was tongue-in-cheek/joking. The trouble is people take him seriously and think he's being serious. I don't think if Moyles hated Grimmy he would go out for drinks with him.

exactly what i was saying, it's just a lot of the moyles fans won't see it as joking and will give him so much shit on his first few days on the text, twitter and Facebook like they already have been! i actually think the changes are good, it's good to refresh the station, as upset as I was about scott moving, it has dare i say it... IMPROVED HIS SHOW... he now gets an uninterrupted 3 hour show and with chris stark full time it's just so much better, he has regular features, so it's been a good thing, even if it means having to listen to the podcast more now.

hello

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • 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!
    • 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 ?
