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

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.

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.

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!

    • 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?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • 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.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Just watched that advert and it made me realise quite how many 'big' specialist presenters there were back then
    • I've been reminded of this Radio 1 cinema advert. I remember being so excited to see it. The In New Music We Trust era. Everything felt so cool, even if they had Westwood.  
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.
