We're looking for more international visitors! We know you're out there as I had a nice e-mail off of a Canadian today. Tell us how you got listening and visiting!

Thought I would just drop a line and say hi to everyone...

Phil here from the absolutely wonderful Vancouver, Canada!

I was born in Hong Kong (ThunderPanther - so ex-HK resident count?) and I've been to the UK a number of times.

I've been listening to the beeb for a quite a long time now (good ol'Internet)

I suppose for me, it's Scott Mills in the morning with Chris Moyles at night. :P

Cheers,

...Phil

That must get slightly confusing...

So how did you get into listening to the BBC?

Because he spent time in the UK perhaps. And because you can get it ONLINE or on Satellite Radio?

Ok, but surely they have radio stations in Canada? So why english radio over Canadian radio? I've spent time in Canada but I don't now listen to Canadian radio.

I'm listening the show from Toronto, Canada and unlike other UK listeners who listen to the show while they are almost time to go home or on their way home, I listen to Scott while I'm working. And I have to tell you his jokes is a big boost for me when I'm half asleep at work, it works exceptionally well on the bleeeeeey friday. I've tried to get my colleagues and my mates to listen to it but they don't seem to like it, perhaps its because of the accent.

I'm on pretty much the same boat as guitar freak above. :) I am from California myself and listen to Scott at work using the on demand online stream. That way I can pause it when I go on breaks or get interrupted with work things that take me away from my desk. I love the show cause it always makes me laugh and plus I get to hear lots of cool music that they don't play here sometimes.

Bit of a thread rival here, but it's great when people register from outside of the UK... If you're an international listener or visitor why not say hello here?

International listener oh I like that.

Well here i am stuck in a tiny place in The Netherlands.

With the BBC being a true life saver.

The country is lovely but their tv and radio are pants with a capital p. You can take the geek out of Bristol, but you can't take the geek out of the girl.

Hi.

I'm from Herning, Denmark. I love scott mills, he is so funny.. and very cute too.

I listen everyday and cant get enough.

I dated an english guy and heard scott when visiting England. He dumped me but i'm still a fan of scott and always will be :-)

josefine- denmark.

I'm from Adelaide, Australia - home of the best beaches and wine in the country. So if you ever need to get tanned and drunk, give us a yell. :D

I think I started listening to R1 to hear the chart show, but in all honesty I don't actually remember. I do remember hearing Scott fill in for Moyles on morning and that was it, hooked.

Scott's normally on here around midnight (although its about 2am when we're in daylight saving) so the podcast is quite handy...although Scott being on at breakfast means he's on here about 5/6pm...perfect end to the day!

    • I'd very much like it to be him too. Would be the most logical option, As far as guest/celebrity stand ins go, I like mind Ellie Taylor... she's definitely one of the better stand ins. I can't see them getting her to cover the slot in the interim period if she is to become the full time presenter in September though. She's doing the following 3 weeks of Saturday lunchtimes. I wonder if she's Emma's replacement during Strictly season?
    • I'm liking what I've heard so far. She was brilliant on tea time and whenever she covered Scott too. Glad she's brought some her jingles/songs with her, but shortened/updated them for brekky.  PS was she as silly and bonkers when she was on R1 as she is on R2? I don't really remember much of her old shows on R1, although I do remember listening to her covering for Fearne.
    • There's already a scheduled livestream on the R1 YouTube channel 😁 
    • I hope it's OJ but I am liking Ellie Taylor at the moment.
    • There's also Feedback on R4, the radio version of Points of View: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006slnx I like the blurb for this random episode I've just clicked on from 2012, "Does Radio 1 have too many celebrity presenters? Are they too old?" 😂 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jxw4s
    • I have no clue why you thought a complaint and FOI request would go anywhere?! And I maintain what I've written elsewhere, that the 'Jamie problem' is one that exists mainly on forums and isn't felt by the wider listener group!
    • Could be Rickie and Melvin?
    • A couple of months on and still no announcement on who is taking over teatime. We know they're rotating 'interim' hosts throughout the summer, so presumably any permanent host will be taking over at the start of September at the earliest. I'm starting to wonder if it's not OJ Borg after all. There could've been delay in the logistics of him agreeing to a London based show, or production moving up to Salford, but surely they would have announced him by now? That said, I'm surprised he's been nowhere near teatime since Sara finished. Radio 2 rarely go for outsiders when it comes to their main weekday slots, they usually promote from within so will be interesting to see who they go with? I'd be surprised if they parachute in someone that hasn't broadcast on Radio 2 before.
    • Freedom of Information request – OOS2026/01183 Thank you for your email of 22nd June. The BBC is replying under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOI Act”). You asked: I am asking with regards to Jamie Laings contract to present the Going Home Show on BBC Radio 1. Going Home is titled as Going Home with Vick Hope. Katie Thistleton and Jamie Laing and is meant to be on Monday-Thursday 3.30pm-5.45pm on BBC Radio 1 1. Please can you confirm does Jamie have a contract to be a presenter Monday- Thursday or is he paid a fee per show. 2. Has he had his contract adjusted in the number of shows he is expected to present and/or value of his contract in the last year? 3. Do the presenters who fill in for Jamie/Vick Hope get paid the same rate as them or is that rate different? We have carefully considered your request and concluded that it is clear from your description of the information you are seeking that if the BBC held information of the kind you have asked for, it would all be held for the purposes of journalism, art or literature. The FOI Act does not apply to information held by the BBC for any of those purposes. This is explained in an information sheet enclosed with this letter. To be clear, in this case we have not searched for any information since any that we found would be non-disclosable, and the searches would not serve any useful purpose
    • It's just Rickie & Melvin today.
    • A message has just been played saying: 'Ready for a game? Tomorrow morning at 8' or along those lines.
    • Nat & Vicky have just said it's Ore & Swarzy next instead of Danni & Ore.   Edit: They've just corrected themselves, it is Danni & Ore.
    • Regardless of their routine, it's incredible how they all ended up parents in a short space of time of becoming a trio. Quite the baby boom at Radio 1!
