I was lukewarm towards Jameela before, but being paired up with Scott only serves to highlight all her shortcomings. She's abrasive in the interviews, hogs the mike and puts no thought in what she yammers on. Pair that up with a weak sense of humour and internalized misogyny in her comments - she went from meh to really, really annoying in just two days time for me.

This is very well put. Radio 1's latest recruits, with the exception of Alice Levine, have been seriously poor. I would consider myself a seriously dedicated Radio 1 fan, and cannot listen to any of the new shows from Dan & Phil / Jameela.

I think it was Phil the other day who called himself a 'DJ' and it made me cringe slightly, because they really arent. It actually makes a mockery of the job. They are, for want of a better word, external talent who have been brought into a radio broadcasting role, and it really shows in their lack of skill of broadasting and ettiquette. When Jameela interviews pop stars I actaully feel a bit embarrassed. The way she manages to wangle every question about them back at herself is quite incredible. She doesnt have the raw interviewing skills that other Radio 1 presenters have who come from radio backgrounds. She cant even hold a microphone correctly when interviewing!

If you read Scotts autobiography, you will see the enormous amount of effort he put in to eventually land up at Radio 1, from doing hospital radio to numerous different radio stations, and actually having to proove to numerous people he is worthy of a job at Radio 1, brining with it a wealth of experience, and I'm sure we can all agree, he deserves it, and is an absolutely class broadcaster.

There must be such a wide source of incredible talent coming out of universities, who have actually shown a genuine interest in radio, and do it at university, and are passionate about music and can slot straight into a fresh role at Radio 1 much like Greg James did back in 2007. Radio 1 are all about new music etc, and there is Nick, Greg, Phil Taggart talking about the gigs they have been to on their show the next day. What is Jammela doing? Talking about herself. What are Dan and Phil doing? Making stupid videos.

I can see what Radio 1 have done, and see why they have done it: they want to draw in a younger audience, so bring all the 15 year old fan girls in from Dan and Phil and all the guys who fancy Jameela. But I guess the compromise is they have to lose their mantra of "In New Music We Trust" because that certainly isnt any part of their ethos.

Radio 1 can continue to take this direction, but I'm just going to have to step off the bandwagon...

Matt Edmondson did not have a radio back ground but I would say has done well, but with Matt he was given time and space to play around with idea on his Wednesday night show and time to build up radio skill covering lots of different show. Alice Levine is the other person that have made the jump from TV to radio this is because she been put with Phil Taggart how know what he is doing I am not sure if Alice is driving the desk yet but from a nervous start she built up the confidence to file solo.

Dan & Phil have a place at Radio 1 and there show is better then Tom Deacon was, but would say I feel they made a one trick pony and I can't see where Radio 1 are planning to take the show. I would say to Radio 1 keep then where they are and when a slot come free in Daytime (Scott) give it to Matt not Dan and or Phil. On a plus point for Dan and Phil Radio 1 have made then grow-up, they are slowly lossing the names DanIsNotOnFire & AmazingPhil and there video quality and subjects have got alot better.

Jammela I have nothing good to say about her show so I won't.

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
