He can either load them from the Hotkey Bank (touch screen) and put it in the log, or load them in the Hotkey players at the bottom of the Screen. NERD OVERLOAD!

so it's just the presenter's personal preference how they choose to do it?

I don't think people realise just how slick Scott is. He sets such high standards that when he makes even the smallest mistakes, it's more noticeable. He is the only Radio 1 presenter who can introduce the news properly IMO and as mentioned, the "whooooos" are done live because he controls the amount of echo and the loudness of them varies. Also, things like Bamboleo Wednesday sound really tight - the use of the Delia clips and how he reads out texts are timed perfectly within the instrumental bits.

Also, in terms of production and use of jingles, his show is probably the most interesting. He's the only daytime DJ who still uses the Pure Tonic sweepers (which sound brilliant) and he varies up the idents and beds so it sounds fresh and isn't repetitive. Grimmy's show isn't particularly exciting production-wise and Fearne and Greg mainly just use the "Where It Begins" idents, one or two of the generic station ones and one or two of their DJ idents.

He is also the best DJ in terms of the ramps (before the third song of the hour) because most presenters tend to just do a "that was, this is, here's what's coming up" link while Scott tends to give some content and get a funny bit in before the vocal starts. Plus he usually nails the vocal on them. Oh, and he has the best taste in beds. *NERD MONOLOGUE COMPLETE*

I agree with all of that, I do love his bed taste. I love Dev's cheesy beds as well. You're right, but he's definitely sounding worse than usual in terms of back timing, vocal hitting and the podcast ramps.

I dunno, maybe I'm just being over fussy. Love you Scott

The jingles are really annoying me now. There's some standard BBC Radio 1 idents, some Scott Mills idents and some old Radio 1 Breakfast Show idents. It sounds really sloppy and ugly.

I agree about the imaging. There's so many old voiceovers that creep through on the breakfast show, Mills or not. They obviously didn't make any generic breakfast show imaging when the four new voices came in last year. The beds and opener that Grimmy use still have the old voiceovers too.

I know these things are so nerdy but the breakfast show imaging sounds inconsistent with the rest of the station, and that's supposed to be the number one show. Too much of a mish-mash between old and new.

Broadly I think the handful of Where It Begins idents are getting repetitive too, and there's pretty much no point in the Pure Jingles idents existing considering it's only really Scott and Dev that use them.

new opener for the Breakfast Show.

I heard that this morning too, put me off a bit humming along not going to lie. I noticed they've made it all shorter as well, is this to cut down on the amount of talking in the show? Or at least at the start anyway!

Listened to it this morning. Sounds pretty sloppy if you ask me; to say they hired a full orchestra to do the bed and then to just cut and slice bits seems ridiculous (and it sounds rushed). The ident at the end that's slopped over the end of the bed is sure to cause Grimmy some confusion (he'll talk over it), and it just doesn't do it justice. I liked waking up to that orchestral music, I felt like a king or something.

On the new breakfast opener, I feel like it's not a bad thing that they've shortened it because on the few occasions I've listened to Grimmy and heard his opening link I can't help but notice that he says nothing in it, other than the usual DJ crap "Thanks to Gemma, this is Nick Grimshaw on Radio 1 doing the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, here on Radio 1".

From an imaging standpoint it's edited horribly throughout, from the whoosh at the beginning trying to cover up the opening to the sharp cut 10 seconds in and the bit after the voiceover.

On topic though, I can't comment on Scott because I haven't heard the live show much and I haven't heard any cock ups when I have listened, I mostly listen via the free download (download it for free).

I totally agree here, you can hear where it's been sliced, stands out so much. I've decided to take on the challenge of Re-editing the opener again and see if I can do a better job.

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
