Hopefully they'll bring the listenership with them when they join Radio 1, the station could do with a boost in listeners.

I wouldn’t be too sure, the proper fans of their show should, but mostly Kiss listeners, even at Breakfast I’d imagine, will be listening for the music, which will be much less and not the same on Radio 1.  Their show so music heavy it was unreal, at least when I heard it, it made Capital daytime shows sound full of chat compared.

Do we think these guys will go any further than 9-11pm?  Like take over drive to something like that.  I kind of doubt it but you never know, if they do well.

I think they could be the next answer on Breakfast after Greg maybe, in 3-4 years time, or being lined up to take over for Scott if he leaves? I could see Grimmy leavign and Scott doing drive again to allow these 3 onto daytime maybe

That’d be good, but I really doubt Scott returning to drive.

I've read they had a breakfast show for 10 years before this, that's impressive, and kinda explains why they didn't introduced themselves that much yesterday. As someone who has never heard them before, the first impression was not that great, but overall positive. I also expected much longer links, especially after the "we can talk longer than 20 seconds" promos.

The big downer is the music: mostly playlist songs (why...) and 8th style depressing mumbling rap (please no!) so it's still miles behind Annie or Jack.

So it’s nearly been a month since they started. In my opinion their show expects you to known who are they are- they seem to be trying too hard, their socials are flooded with “Don’t forget to tune in!” a few times a day even. I’m stating to miss the 8th a bit, They’re struggling to fit in I think. The humours good but at times feels a bit forced- Oh and they basically stole bangers of Scott and Chris with their Run RMC feature.

Though I do look the random chit chat and their bouncing off each other for laughes. I do feel tho the girl Charlie stands out, She likes dance/house music the other two like pop/hip hop. It’s just a werid Show imo

I think they suit that timeslot - but agree if they want to move into daytime they'll need to broaden their appeal. 

I agree, they must have ambitions to move to daytime though, otherwise why would they have taken a late night show after doing the number 1 commercial breakfast show.

    • 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
