  1. 1. What Will He Do?



Recommended Posts

Baha I laughed at the idea of Scott doing commercial radio, there's no way he'd go back to that tripe, he's said so himself.

I think so long as he can keep coming up with new ideas and making a good show every day, he'll want to renew it (assuming Radio 1 don't try and push him out). He might go to Radio 2, but I'm not sure I could see him doing that either.. I suspect that the day he leaves Radio 1 is the day he leaves radio.

I think the contract ends early next year. He might well have been hinting he's leaving with the whole last play of World Cup/ Christmas song thing but I'll think he'll stay but he's over 40 and if what they wanted with moyles is true he might go.

I actually think he'll agree to swap with Matt and move to weekends so he can focus on TV projects and do the Strictly tour !

I think that's unlikely for several reasons.

I don't think Matt would want to go five days a week, because at the moment he does more TV than Scott does, and TV is his main thing. He wouldn't give up TV work to do more radio shows I don't think.

Plus, I highly doubt Scott would go back to weekends. It's an obvious demotion, and I think he should go out at the top of his game (whilst still on daytime) and not slowly be phased out from Radio 1 by going to weekends. Plus Scott barely does any TV apart from the Lottery and Eurovision anyway, and that doesn't take five days a week.

Just a thought here, Scott could do his regular show 1-4 Mon-Fri and then do Saturday 10-1, like moyles did between 98 and 01. Matt can then just do Sunday.

Well, if they really want to get rid of him because of his age, probably not a good idea to give him even more airtime, isn't it?

That's silly. Considering the amount of preparation it takes for a show, would you really expect Scott to do six a week? Plus, when would he have time to do stuff to actually talk about on air? Then, why would R1 want an older outgoing DJ to more shows per week, displacing a younger DJ on his way up to just one show a week? That would never happen.

Plus Moyles only did the Saturday show because his weekday show was just 4-5.45.As soon as he got an extra hour he gave up the Saturday show

I'd like to see this happen

0400: New DJ

0630: Greg James

1000: Gemma Cairney ( I do believe she's becoming the new fearne)

1300: Matt Edmonson

1600: Nick Grimshaw

( New idea here after newsbeat, the slots go like this)

1800: Scott Mills

2000: Zane Lowe

2130: Documentary Slot

2230: Phil Taggart

0000: Simulcast With 1Xtra

I don't like the idea of Zane having a shorter show & starting later in the day, I think he's great at what he does and he's one of the best DJs on the station (plus Ben Cooper promised they wouldn't have less specialist hours than they currently do).

I think Alice Levine could do Fearne's slot, although Gemma would be alright (I don't like her personally but the management seem to want to give her a chance).

Although I loved Scott on drive, I can't see him doing it again personally for a number of reasons, plus it doesn't make sense to create new teams for two hour shows when the current format works perfectly well.

If they were to give Matt a week day show (which I'd love) I think this would be what Radio 1 would do:

04:00 - Gemma Cairney (or maybe someone new)

06:30 - Greg James

10:00 - Alice Levine (she seems to be covering daytime shows in the week and since she's now got a daytime show at the weekend it's possible)

13:00 - Nick Grimshaw (although I'd like to keep Scott)

16:00 - Matt Edmonson (they might put Matt on 1-4 instead but I'd prefer it this way round since Matt has more potential with more production in my opinion)

The rest of the day would continue as usual...

However if I was PC this is what I would do:

04:00 - Nick Grimshaw (would cover drive when Matt's away)

06:30 - Greg James

10:00 - Alice Levine

13:00 - Scott Mills (would cover breakfast when Greg's away, as is already in his contract)

16:00 - Matt Edmonson

Then Zane at 7 etc etc

I'd also like Aled to produce Scott again since he did good things for both Mills & Moyles on their shows, although I'm not sure if he'd take the gig.

If Scott swapped with Matt it would actually be a sort of promotion because the weekend 10am slot is the most high profile weekend slot where as his current slot is lower than breakfast or drive,and he can always say he chose to move because of all the tv stuff he's doing!

Weekdays >>>>>>>>> weekends

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
