Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[OohErr]

Thought the show was great today. Loved the Attenborough interview particularly, Dial A Carol was great, and enjoyed Chris's carolling story.

Enjoying the classical Christmassy beds they're using as well, but can't help but feel it sounds a bit Radio 2-ish.

Dial A Carol? I remember BBC Radio 2 having a very similar feature a couple of years back called "Christmas Carols", where listeners could call in and request a song, providing their names were "Carol" and they were requesting a Christmas song.

I never thought I'd say this, but I think... I'm starting to like Nick Grimshaw. What are your opinions on him?

[OohErr]

Meh, he's not bad. Technically not brilliant, but nowhere near as bad as a certain early breakfast DJ... (and I don't mean Dev). Quite amusing, but ultimately I'm fairly indifferent to him. I like him, but wouldn't go out of my way to listen. Just about sums it up.

It's always funny when they post on Facebook or Twitter that Scott and Chris are on breakfast- I'd say about 90% of people are happy it's him instead of Grimmy, and only 10% are disappointed. Shows how loved Scott is on Radio 1.

Yup! Scott's the only Radio 1 DJ who has his own forums and website named in his honour!

That would be because Facebook wasn't very big when the forum took off..

Some good shows so far, I'm able to listen from the moment I leave the house for work

[OohErr]

By the way Jono, nice little walk-on role on Newsbeat the other day. Are you in charge of the whole Save BBC3 Campaign?

The main campaign, yes. There's little breakaway campaigns too but my petition has the biggest numbers [emoji4]

Only time will tell. As of the moment, the BBC plans to get rid of BBC 3 and make it a "digital-only channel", and bring in a BBC 1+1, and extend CBBC by an houur, so that it finishes at 8pm. I think these changes are planning on being made in Autumn 2015.
