Past or present, Whooooo’s your favourite Radio 1 presenter? Is there anyone you would love to hear back on the airwaves?

For me one of my favourite radio presenters of all time, Quite controversy is Chris Moyles. I’ve always loved the laid back format of his show. In a fictional world, I’d love to see Chris do a nighttime show on Radio 1. 

My favourite radio 1 presenters at the minute are of course the big man himself Scott. Jordon North- So underappticted by the BBC just stuck on a Sunday show. Arielle Free( technically not an official presenter...) Whenever she’s on, it’s great. I really love her   Enthusiasm, she’s full of high energy always. She needs to be singed soon otherwise I’m sure she’ll get poached by Global or Bauer for our show! Greg James- He’s got a lot better after his holdiay. His breakfast show is one of the few good ones left in my opinion

Scott and Chris obvs, but yes I agree Chris Moyles was fantastic. I’d like to hear Matt Edmondson go back to his old late night slot with the risky themes - his late night interview with Ross Kemp was hilarious!  Also, the big man Charlie Sloth. Shame he lost it at those awards. I didn’t listen to his show but he was funny when he came on Scots show: You’re fattest, no, your fattest!!

Current I would have to say Dev and Alice together. They work so well off each other and their show often sounds quite different to anything you’d hear anywhere else. 

In the past I would also have to say Moyles although I only starting to listen to R1 about a year before he left so I didn’t get the ‘golden years’ of him!

Scott of course and Chris has revitalized his show

Moyles from yesteryear - I would also say Sara as well in her later years at R1

Currently Dev and Alice are upping their game and I really like the new three from Kiss they've fitted in really well and I'd take a punt that it won't be too long until they appear on daytime

Suprised by the fact non's mentioned the big man himself Zane Lowe. His show when i listened was always great. Mind you his format on beats 1 is a lot more new music heavy.

I picked up Radio 1 about 2005-2006 time. Then found it again years later in 2017- Around the time of their 50th birthday celebration.

Dev and Alice are great together. Its not fake, it seems they generally get on and they have the same sense of humour which boosts the show greatly

Has anyone noticed recently how Scott Mills is more open on air about his sexuality? For years he used to say that he “doesn’t have much luck with the ladies.” But now now he sometimes mentions his boyfriend and I think it’s great how he doesn’t hold back like has has done over the years. Everyone knows Scott is gay and when he revealed it many years ago, it didn’t change a thing for him working at Radio 1.

Good on him. ?

Hadn’t noticed it, but now you say it, he has started being more open about his life.  As you say, good on him ?.

I suppose there’s quite a few LGBT ?️‍? djs on radio 1 now like Grimmy and Adele Roberts as well, all on daytime! So that could be more comforting to Scott?

Maybe, although I do wonder if it’s more a case of everyone being more open about these things in 2019, compared to when Scott started in the late 90s, and I think he feels much more comfortable and himself on air these days.

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      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.
