Internet Takeover only recently moved to Mondays so it won't be.

Ben Cooper says:

I'm working with the people at CBBC on creating something that will take some of the best content from their channel, and some of our great content, and really focusing on a young, teen audience.

I hope it's not that Cel Spellman kid- having seen a few minutes of Friday Download on CBBC, I can confirm it is godawful. Stilted and awkward don't even begin to describe it. The last time they tried CBBC on Radio 1 it didn't really work - Dick and Dom only lasted about a year. Matt Edmondson is the only one that's made a good transfer, but he'd branched into showbiz stuff from CBBC before he joined R1.

I'm predicting some kind of new format in that slot, but I wouldn't mind too much if Gemma got it. It would reduce her hours significantly, and put her on a fairly irrelevant show, once a week (at a time I don't listen anyway). Meanwhile, someone new (and good) would get Early Breakfast, so it's a win-win. If it does turn out to be the case, I can understand why - Gemma couldn't hack the earlies, and Ben Cooper wasn't happy with her show.

With all the talent emerging, and Radio 1 clearly being the hub of it all, you'd think that there would be more changes to late / early stuff on Radio 1 - Stories, Gemma and Daniel P Carter are all things that are a bit... WRONG.

I don't like the CBBC idea. I would of given Danny Howard that slot. Danny does seem to enjoy the games side of Radio 1 (like Innuendo Bingo and that) so I would like to see him doing that sort of show. He might not want it though considering he is more focused on his dance music.

Yeah, he's a dance DJ and not a radio presenter. I don't like his weekend slot, it doesn't seem to be appropriate to play dance music from 4pm on a Saturday afternoon.

Three hours to Cel Spellman. THREE HOURS.

HE'S A CRAP CBBC TV PRESENTER NOT A RADIO 1 PRESENTER.

"I just hope I can return the favour and help make those car journeys a little more memorable for the listeners with a mix of fun, top tunes and a little bit of cheeky chat!"

Cheeky chat. I think that says it all.

      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.

      Just watched that advert and it made me realise quite how many 'big' specialist presenters there were back then

      I've been reminded of this Radio 1 cinema advert. I remember being so excited to see it. The In New Music We Trust era. Everything felt so cool, even if they had Westwood.

      Arielle Free's wedding

      Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.

      Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.
