Erm... Well...

I say quite a bit of negative stuff about Radio 1 but that's only my way of wanting certain areas of the station improved. Don't get me wrong, I love the station, there's nothing like it. Local radio is just rubbish.

Although I'm negative about a few DJs, I don't hate them, and in general I listen to all of the daytime DJs. But I think the general negativity of these DJs comes from those who are regular daily listeners and probably not those who will tune in from just time-to-time.

Radio 1 - especially Scott and team - have been very supportive of this website, which is a great boost for giving me the confidence and enthusiasm to update and continue this website. I very much doubt many other stations would support a website like this, or at least in such a professional manner.

Anyway, there's my two pence worth until I can think of something else to say!

What do you honestly think of the station?

I havent really been listening to radio 1 for long it was kind of an accident how i found it after loosing the signal to my local radio station,ever since ive been stuck listening to it although a couple of areas could be improved as jono mentioned but overall i love it.

I only really get to listen to chris moyles and scott mills on a weekday and Spoony and Coxy on a weekend.

Radio1 seem to involve the public alot more compared to other stations too.

There are no other stations like the national BBC stations and all of them are fantastic depending on audience. I listen to R1 over R5 because I like having the music. I like listening to all the daytime DJs and normally switch off at 7. I don't listen to Sara Cox or Trevor Nelson although thats normally because Im playing cricket.

Only real criticism is on the repeatitiveness of some of the music that does get tedious but that seems to be improving slowly even if that is through having features like the Friday Feel Good days or whatever they are called

Indeed, that does bother me - the endless promotion of events is a pain and things like Chris Moyles and his '82125' charity number. But if you compare it to local radio, I suppose it isn't so bad. They could do with cutting down things like this a little though. Dull radio for those not going/can't enter or whatever.

I agree about the music - it could do with being a little bit more broader but I suppose that does make the days like 'Radio 1's Summer Friday Thing' a whole lot more interesting.

Things like 'Your Call' could be a lot better, 'The Wonder Years' is slightly improving with the summer tracks although it feels very much like it's directed by the music department.

Radio 1 is good. You cant really moan about the promotion of radio 1 events becuase there are no adverts on the station which is such a massive bonus. all of the djs are pretty good. scott and chris moyles are probably 2 of the best radio djs anywhere in the world. i liked radio 1 more when i was at school and college, but i guess thats cos i listened more regulary. also i liked it when the djs were on for a shorter amount of time compared to now the seem to be on for just a bit too long. also i liked it when 'daytime' finished at 8 not 7. i miss mayo and mark and lard, and to a certain extent dave pearce being on weekdays on 'late drive' but im just strange! anyway radio 1 is easily the best station for me.

RRROOOAAARRR!!!!

it's a good station, but some improvements are needed, move Colin and Edith back to 10AM at weekends, sack Sara Cox, and give Vernon Kay her shows.

Thats about it really, apart from that, it's very good, no other changes are needed in my opinion

Cant wait to hear the 3 hours of silence between 1 and 4 ;)

I would definately get rid of Cox but I like C&E where they are

Radio 1 used to be better around 4 years back. But it's not bad now, i prefer some DJ's to others but I still and always will prefer it to "Chav (Galaxy) 102.2". But I cant stand it sometimes when the playlist has the sissor sisters like what they are playing now (although there is a "man", sort of in the band who has a higher voice note than the bee gee's). But i guess it has to play somthin for everyone so, I like it.

To be honest people will like who they want. But I never really have found Colin or Edith funny before they "replaced" the legends. I mean I didn't like them that much on weekends. But replacing MnL didn't boost them at all with me though...

I dont want Nemone to go.

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
