Rave Up with Arielle Free

[fathomer90]

I really don't know who will replace Moyles. I would say Mills- but I think he has to make more of a name for himself. In 2003, you could walk down a street and ask 10 people if they knew who Moyles was, and they would know straight away. I dont know if it is the same for Mills. To most people he is just "A Voice".

If he wants to do Breakfast I think he should get some TV Work in.....I think for most Scott Mills is a big "wwwhooooooooo?!".

Or he seems to be at my work- they know the voice, but not the face. Which Radio 1 management seem to like on Brekkie:

Moyles, Cox, Ball, Evans etc.

[Jono]

I disagree, I think if people know who Moyles is they know who Mills is. As these days it's what Radio 1 revolves around - Wake up with Moyles, Get Home with Moyles.

You say "if he wants to do breakfast" - I don't think he wants to do it, but if he was offered it he would take it. He's quite happy on afternoons where things are much more free to do things.

[Andy B]

Have often wondered, can Moyles get away with more because he's only a contractor whereas Mills is staff? In my job get away with a lot more being a contractor.

[matt_32510]

Isn't Mills a contractor as well

[demonhorse]

That's not actually exactly what he said. He set up a poll asking who people think are the best at 'filling in for Chris' and he says that the management think Scott is the best person to do that (obviously, as he is doing just that). Nowhere does Aled mention that they feel he should 'take over' from Chris (I don't think it would be a wise move for Aled to suggest something like that). Anyway, I don't want to burst your bubble, but just thought I'd clarify things a bit.

Good point well put.

is chris moyles quitting the breakfast show

[Great Messiah]

Scott is going to be the top dj in radio 1 soon but not yet!

[stupid_sexy_flanders]

To be honest I don't think Scott could handle the breakfast show. If he did start doing it then there is a good chance I would just flick over to Terry Wogan because the kind of stuff Scott goes over is not really the stuff I want to hear at that time of the morning. If he did go and he was to be successful he would need to change the whole structure of his show, look at the difference between Moyles now and the Moyles from drive time, completely different.

I can see why they might want to move him though because he is up against Evans on radio 2 now and I'm sorry but Chris Evans is a fantastic broadcaster, was listening to him yesterday and he is going to be the new king of drivetime, which is a pity for Scott.

is chris moyles quitting the breakfast show

not for a good few years

[Guest Guest]

i think that scott will be replacing chris on breckfast when the time comes. He is more acceptable than moyles who some see as quite offensive.

[Kelly]

When the time comes, I would like Scott to be moved up to breakfast but not for a while yet.

[Anne O Rack]

Yeah, I don't want to be getting up at 6:55am every morning if I don't have to. And it's hard to listen until 10am when I've got actual things going on.

But perhaps one day it is inevitable. But for now, I like Scott exactly where he is (normally, not this week).

Getting up at 6:55am in the morning? Not unless you live a stone's throw away from Yalding House. I would guess that the team are in from much earlier - maybe 6 ish to do a bit of show prep/briefing etc. I think I have it bad sometimes, having to get up at 6:30am but spare a thought for breakfast TV and radio presenters!

[Jono]

I'd imagine Laura is there much earlier, she has to make calls to get them all up!

[matt_32510]

having to get up at 6:30am but spare a thought for breakfast TV and radio presenters!

No because they get paid thousands of pounds, I would be happy to get up that early for lots of money.

[Jono]

I bet you wouldn't though Matt. Spritzes and early nights

I think she meant to listen in, not talking about the team :-)

Footballers still complain even though they're on stupid wages... and DON'T usually have to get up particularly early... but then most of them are moneygrabbing egomaniacs.
