Jono 38 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 We've had two years of Greg James on Radio 1 Breakfast. I've been listening to a lot more since the whole pandemic forced me to work at home, and I have to say it's still as refreshing as day one. It's the sort of silliness the whole family can listen to - which I didn't think Grimmy's show achieved (although I think that was intentional). The last few days of Jordan, Scott and Greg on daytime has been quite male-dominated but the nonsense has been a bit of a joy to listen to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's been brilliant Going to miss Scott covering next time, but i'll be tuning to R2 next week as this could be the start of him covering weekday shows, not sure he'd get to cover for Vine though, but I can see him covering for Ken and Sara and maybe Zoe Greg is great on breakfast, and they did the right thing putting him on drive for 6 years so he could come in and refresh it after the Grimmy era, imagine if he had got it after Moyles, then he would probably have finished now and we would have a new host, although I still maintain that Scott should have been appointed in 2012 and maybe Grimmy getting afternoons But if Scott had got it then where would he be now? probably out, the reason he's been about so long is not only his relevance but also he's not in the prime slot, so in the background as such I can see Jordan getting 1-330 if Scott moves to R2 full time, i'd say he would be lined up for the big show if SW retires, but with a schedule change to 2-430 and Sara starting at 430 instead of 5 If I was the controller of R2 I would remove the Vine slot if he went to TV full time have Zoe 630-10 Ken 10-1, Scott 1-4 and Sara 4-7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren m 4 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I agree about Jordan getting 1 till 330 I was thinking earlier I think Grimmy is still popular with the teenage audience which is why he’s on from 330 in the changes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anothernerd 13 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Grimmys been there for years. He’s done breakfast done drive done nights. He’ll be out in the next couple years. His drive time show isn’t great tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger Fan 0 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 The BBC could save a load of dosh, and have a smash-hit breakfast show on their hands, by giving Greg James an R1-R2-6Music Simulcast show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anothernerd 13 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 They’d never do that. Could see Greg doing more for Radio 2 In the next 5 years, but’s that’s it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
