Blond is more of a Judge Jules though, but he does fill in for DJ's who are sick, sometimes does the nightshift. He is on BRMB on Saturday nights. So I leave my PC on and record it, because i am out.

Still... what is Sara Cox doing there. Im sure the Dj on your local station can talk about stuff...it'll be easy to replace Sara's place and get the rating's up, coz who wants to know about her whistling at chappers? and her baby? and what time she had a bath? and what she bought in town the other day?

Iv'e been there a couple of years back. It's a nice place if you want to rest, or do some fishing n that. Couldnt live there though.

Admitedly, it is kinda out of the way, but Cardiff, my hometown, is clubbin heaven.. altho rent is so frickin high, you can hardly afford to go out :x it is the place to be.. spesh on the bay 8-) But Mumbles, in the Swansea Marina would be second choice... thats a hotspot for fishing.. i hate fishing tho..

Why couldnt you live there?!

I just dont get all of this get the DJ's from Key 103 in Manchester and send our rejects over there. BRMB has some class talent, untouched by any other local station. It is the best local around here. They would have somthing to say to Moyles and his comments about local radio! lol there is some talent on there.

Just like to say i'm loving this 12 hour Ibizia party. I have to take my sister to the airport @ 2:30am tonight so I am going to be up most of the night and so far the show is BRILLIANT :-D

Only another 9.5 hours to go

it sounds really good so far

I like Radio 1 because the DJs are so interesting and usually the best new music is played; great if you are young and have a broad music taste. Plus the DJs actually have a sense of humour, most local radio stations have dull presenters, even the young ones. Chris Moyles' Carpark Catchphrase provides laughs in the morning and Mills' Flirt Divert is a genuis idea to make you chuckle because the results are just amusing. And at the weekends we have Sara Cox with her bubbly personality and Spoony in the morning - both very good DJs.

Radio 1 is different because there's something to look forward to when you switch your radio on, rather than just some dull person playing music for three hours. You feel like you know the DJs because they talk about what they did at the weekend etc. therefore there's a lot more pleasure in listening.

And I just can't help myself, I really, really wish I could be somewhere else, than here...

    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • 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.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • 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.
