Hi all,

Has anyone else noticed that since Fearne having a change in production team it has really changed the vibe of the show? Or is it just me?!

I cant BEAR that new producer James and how he constantly speaks "off mike". He is just so loud and shouty and irritating and a massive fan of his own voice.

I'd rather listen to Capital from 10-1.

Bring back Phil Stocker and Alex Full (Cornish!)

Hmm...I know what you mean harrysmyth, he is a bit annoying. He used to produce Tom Deacon's Sunday night show. I am still enjoying listening to Fearne Cotton though, she used to annoy me at some point however I like her again now. Oh and I do a great impression of that producer JC!

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

Which is making me think Huw may be Scott's replacement if he leaves that slot soon.. :(

I can't see that happenning to be honest, I think they use Huw as a utility man when Scott leaves they'll be looking for a new young DJ someone who can replace Grimmy or Greg in the future whether that be Gemma Cairney, Phil Taggart or a new signing. Huw is too old and if he gets the slot it will be as a placeholder. I think Scott will be there until his contracts up and some bright young thing will replace him.

Moyles was an anamoly doing 8 years on Breakfast most people manage 2 or 3 so Cooper needs new faces on daytime who could look at taking over breakfast. Grimmy could well take Greg or Scott's slot when he leaves Breakfast.

Sorry for veering dramatically off topic

Huw is only 31 same age as Fearne so in those terms he's not that old

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
