Since were talking about zoo formats (and apparently Scott doesn't have one), I've always wondered why Cara or Chris Sawyer don't speak on air- I can understand why they wouldn't want to replace Beccy immediately, but after a year I thought Cara would've built up an on air presence. Maybe they wouldn't want two Chris' on the same show, but Sawyer seems to be quite funny, I'd like to hear more from both of them.

I just dont think they are "on-air" producers. Just because Beccy was, doesnt mean her replacement has to be. To be honest, not many producers are heard on air. And actually he does often ask Cara a question which she answers on air, she just doesnt contribute to conversations actively. Its not like she is as tight lipped as TOTDS! Also since Chris Stark got involved, they probably dont think it is neccessary.

Going back a few posts, I think it would be good if Cara and Chris Sawyer were to have a little more airtime than they currently do. Chris does Real or No Real when Chris Smith can't and is really good. As a follower of him on Twitter, his tweets are hilarious and I think would be on air too. Cara chips in when asked the odd question. The show should have a set up as per Greg's show when Pippa or Travis makes an appearance when Chris Smith is on after 6

Having listened to 5 out of the 6 shows in full that Huw has done in for Scott while he is in Denmark, the more I'm beginning to realise that Chris & Huw's partnership just doesn't work. When Scott phoned in, it was clear how much Chris is missing Scott and how much he is missing having a decent chat and laugh during the show! The general chat just doesn't seem to go anywhere compared to when Scott's on.

Even Real or No Real with Charlie Sloth today seemed very dull and lost it's humour and zest it has when Scott's on. This only highlights how successful Mills is and if/when he moves on what he will be to the station

I still think Huw and Chris have a better chemistry than when Matt Edmondson is on- at least Huw can talk naturally with Chris, as opposed to Matt when it always sounds very stilted and forced. Even if Huw is boring, at least it isn't awkward like it is with Matt.

      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.
