Oh dear...these are awful and cheesy. The breakfast show is about to be ruined! The current ones are fine, I can cope with minor tweaks like voiceovers which they changed recently, but this is too much.

Grimmy is back on Monday the 23rd. I fear we will hear these new themes then.

Not very Wise from WB. :cry:

I agree. Why bother fixing something that's not even barely broken?

This is perhaps why people question the License Fee. I bet it cost an arm and a leg, and they're not even any good for local radio. Bring back the days of Emergency Production Music!

Apart from this morning, Scott Mills has been doing the Breakfast Show all this week, and also Christmas Day. I've noticed that the opener of the shows music has now reverted back to the old jingle with the "This is - the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, with Scott Mills" male and female voices. This was the one used between September 2012 and about July 2015 when Scott covered the show. Radio 1 finally updated a tweaked version of the main Grimmy jingles during the summer, and Scott's jingle is now a cut version of the new girls voice over the jingle.

Whereas the older ones are better in my opinion, the new ones do work well to bring it inline with the 2014 branding of the station. However, I cannot understand why they keep reverting between old and new jingles when Scott covers, surely the old ones would've been deleted, preventing them from being used? It's been a while since we heard the old ones, bearing in mind.

Hey @RyanPannell,

I made this point back when Scott covered breakfast while Grimmy was away on holiday. It REALLY infuriates me that they use some bang-up-to-date idents, and some slapped-together-in-5-minutes-using-audacity idents in the same 10 minutes, why can't they just order a few "The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Scott Mills" idents and get it over with?

It's BBC Radio 1, not local radio!

Sidenote, I really really enjoyed the show this morning, but I'm missing Nick!

    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
    • Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.
