I have to say, on TV I liked her. At the moment she doesn't ever sound like she knows whats going on. The competition over the last month or so was a really good concept... but never has a presenter talked to any caller less, or sounded less pleased, it was all 'I'm so relieved this has worked - here's a song'. There was even one caller where I didn't catch the name or who they wanted to see, it was over in a flash!

I think if anything it highlights that to work on radio, you have to be good at RADIO. If you're good at TV, that's great - it also works the other way...

At times it feels like Radio 1 are completely underestimating the power of a good radio broadcaster and the brilliant positive influence they can have, in order to look trendy. It's radio, I want to like the presenter & music, get to know them a bit, have a laugh... Not look like them and admire their make-up choices...

Sort of on / off topic rant over!

I have listened to the chart for a while, bus since Jameela has arrived it seems to be like she sounds so un natural on-air and for some reason embarasing. It's just not sounding right, unlike Grimmy who I have grown to like, #bringbackreg

I heard some of the chart on Sunday on the drive home and she sounded bored when doing the run down for some of it. No enthusiasm at all

A part of me thinks that this will be Scott's next role on the station, he always does it brillaintly and could represent the chart really well on other shows.

I can't think of anybody else on the station who could make a go of it based on the essential interest in music and visualisation element. It feels like it needs a spark / new lease of life fairly soon. Unless they use another daytime DJ like Greg, but I can't see them doing that as DJs haven't done regular 6 shifts a week for ages.

In my opinion the whole of the weekends are starting to feel disjointed and confused. Some of the newer shows especially seem to be fitting a really set format.

What should be the weekend schedule then?

Just my suggestion

7.00 New Signing from Student Radio e.g. Pete Allison

10.00 Sat: Matt Edmondson Sun: Coxy (Although I can live with just Matt)

1.00 New Signing from Commercial Radio e.g. Eoghan McDermott

4.00 (Most Difficult bit) Sat: Huw doing some sort of new music show maybe & Scott or Greg (perhaps even a rota) on Chart on Sunday

(Sunday Evening stays the same)

Well it was about this time last year that R1 announced the new weekend schedule so if it hasn't worked out maybe they'll announce more changes for the new year any day now.I doubt they'll give Coxy her old slot back though somehow. Now she has her sat night show on R2 she probably wouldn't do a weekend show on radio 1 as well anyway because I think she wants to spend more time with her kids

Shows how crap she is when they have to get Scott in to do the Christmas chart show as she can't be trusted to do the most important one by herself... Scott excels as a radio presenter every day!

Someone tweeted her to ask if she thought she would ever get promoted .She replied 'you know that's never going to happen' and added she was amazed that she's still working on the station. I couldn't possibly comment... :|

      At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.

      Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot

      The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?

      What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.

      Adele Roberts' new book

      Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!

      Did it take a lot of tempting to go to Capital Jordan? Did you feel like you’d achieved everything you could at Radio 1 (other than breakfast)? Chris, how did your Capital move come about? Did Radio 1 want you to stay after Scott moved on?

      I never expected to be enjoying a commercial radio Breakfast Show, but this is a good listen and less adverts than I might have expected.

      It's got more of a Fri/ Sat feeling to it, for me. But there's nothing inherently wrong with the show.

      Think it's a lot more fun when they don't have guests and have to find ideas to fill a show.  Them doing some calming traffic reports around the most stressful part of the day. I wonder if there's more they could do with that - 8.15am being the most stressful time. Anyway, I think that of most radio shows, I'd rather hear the creativity than an overhyped celebrity. Greg had it right yesterday with Tom Allen, he wasn't really just there to promote The Apprentice, but to do comedy too.

      Got to admit I only heard a bit of it tonight whilst driving but I loved it! Will definitely be listening back to this one and in future. Just what Thursday nights needed! 💗

      Right, despite what Jordan may say now, I think he (and probably Chris) would rather be doing R1 breakfast but seems he was told that wasn't at all imminent so made the understandable move to go elsewhere. Doubt Greg will move off breakfast anytime soon as he's got a new contract and anyway no obvious replacement in line... They certainly have thrown some energy behind competing these last couple of weeks though.
