How much do you listen to Radio 1?

I thought this would be really interesting to see.  How much do you listen to Radio 1 on a daily basis?  How does it fit into your daily routine? Does anyone listen through the day every/most days?  I really look forward to finding out.  Let’s see who listens the most.

I used to listen much more, but the lack of daily routine you have as a student isn't conducive to regular listening.

I never miss a Mills podcast, and on top of that his show is the one I most often listen to live as well. Greg I hear a bit of as well, although I alternate between him and Capital Yorkshire so don't listen every day. Clara I hear a fair bit of but again, not every day and Grimmy I listen to depending on what else I'm doing. At the weekends I usually catch Matt and Molly in their last hour, then most of Maya/Jordan and a bit of Dev and Alice too. So basically I don't listen that much at the moment except for Scott - which I didn't quite realise until I wrote this post. I used to listen much more - breakfast and drive every day when I was at school.

Yeah, Capital Yorkshire is really funny in the mornings sometimes.  I always find Greg a bit bland in the mornings, (he was amazing on drive) but still listen most mornings, same for Matt and Mollie, from whenever I wake up (around 8am).  Scott I hear a lot live, never a dull moment during that show, Clara too, but I swap over to Will Manning sometimes, because Clara gets a bit boring.  Grimmy I hear a fair amount, even though that show isn’t the best, it’s gotta be a temporary thing, bring on Jordan North drivetime!  I listen to Annie, Dev and Jack a bit in the evenings sometimes, depending on what I’m doing.  Weekends, Dev and Alice I seem to catch a lot,  Jordan too, and Maya, but I can’t believe she’s got such a prominent slot over people like Jordan and Matt.

Up in the West Midlands we get a local station called Free Radio the breakfast show on there is brill so sometimes listen to that sometimes Greg maybe Moyles.

Call me sad as its 2019, But I actually still own a radio So virtually it’s on when I’m home if I’m not on here or listening to old radio shows or random shows. I used to listen to the 8th with Sloth than Dev but that bores me now it’s so awkward it’s not funny anymore. It’s not Dev he just doesn’t suit the format. So I’ve been listening to random stations off DAB like Kisstory or Virgin Anthems(New) 

I used to catch drive but don’t listen anymore now Grimmys there. Sometimes catch it in the car but only sometimes. Last time I heard him he had his reporter Sinead at the NTAS so about 3/4 Weeks ago now. Normally dip in and out to Mistajam on a sat.  If I’m not busy that’s is

If im awake(It’s the weekend lol, Who wants to get up early?) might catch an hour of Matt and Mollie. Sometimes I put Maya on as background noice.

Cant stand the rock show don’t mind Pete or Tiffany if I’m in bed tired so on Sunday normally I flick over to Kissstory.

Im at work most days so miss Clara ,Scott. But listen to the podcasts for Mills.  Rarely listen on a weekend apart from Matt And Mollie sometimes other shows in the car.

When Ricky Melvin and Charlie finally arrive I’ll give them a listen and if they got Rid of the rock show I will listen to more R1 at night.

I suppose they need the rock show for those fans, and it’s on a very off peak slot. Dev on The 8th, I go back and forth with, it’s not great, but it’s nice having him on weekdays, to be honest I’d have preferred him to get drive for an interim period rather than Grimshaw.

    • Roman Kemp 😜 I think Will was at radio 1 at one point wasn't he? 
    • Hats off to Chris for leaving a challenge for Greg.  To plan that out was great detailing and proves what a talented guy he is.  The post he posted on Instagram also links into it which is great to.  There is loyalty to Greg there so I don't think he's joining Capital.  Persephonica was looking for an 'experienced entertainment producer' a few months ago. I wonder if this is where Chris might be heading? 
    • Jordan North… Seriously though, out of the commercial stations I only really listen to Capital but I do think Will Manning is very strong (and could quite easily slot into R1). I also think Jimmy Hill is a very good commercial DJ (but probably wouldn’t be as good on R1).
    • First link made me blush 
    • Who do you think is the best commercial presenter? This is your view, doesn't have to be who has the most ratings 
    • Starting off strong. 
    • I remember Chase and Status being added to the line-up for Coventry after a drop out. At the time it seemed a bit random, but they seem massive again now!
    • That is a bit strange, yes. Fair point. Oh yes, I'd say both are equal. It's just they'll have been on Instagram for some time, whereas TikTok will have been a new addition in recent years, so something probably has to give. Us anoraks like to see Twitter as important, but I find myself putting much more time into those other platforms. Incidentally when I applied for a social job there probably four years back (wasn't successful!) I did say I thought the audience wanted more insight from the station rather than just content around the stars. I think they've moved a lot more in that direction, especially with the visualisation in the studio. You see more of Greg James than Harry Styles. I don't envy the PR machine at Radio 1 going straight from Mollie King's challenge to Big Weekend announcements without a break!
    • Since they starting the big weekend right at the end of Matt & Mollie’s show I expect they get to do the duties of opening up the festival.
    • Matt and Mollie and Sam and Danni have DJ sets on Friday of Big Weekend, still makes me think they are really keen to push both pairings in a hole left by Jordan.
    • Broadcast wise it’s going to be interesting to see how they handle the performances starting at the same time as the chart show.
    • Yes sort of, although it’s still weird that they tweeted when Mollie was halfway completed but did not do so when she crossed the finish line.
    • it would make sense to ensure both instagram and TikTok are treated as equals and kept in tandem as reels and downloads of instagram are growing when TikTok I think I’ve heard is stagnating.    I mean it makes sense to do less with Twitter or X as it has change. There has been a lot of change in how its run and operate with focus on making it a platform people pay for and its been volatile for advertising with lots of loss in paid promotions on the platform and the business worth has been waining and any communications and marketing for any business and organisations are seeing that
    • I feel like all ATB songs started with some sort of airport in their video
