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... :|

      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.
