forde52 44 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 So it’s been talked about since Last Summer... Scott seemed to hype it up a lot so unsure if it’s just a lolathon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono 55 Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 Makes sense due to restrictions - a whole week of DJs doing their own thing and then a 24 hour show on March 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anothernerd 22 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 So the DJ’s are doing it for a week. Then the lads are doing a 24 hour broadcast to end it on the 12th March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan18F1 31 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2021/radio-1-lolathon Press release with all the details, nice to see that it involves all the presenters and good to see that it looks like lots of money is being spent on it. Very intrigued to see how they’ll do some of those things with Covid measures too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it dose start at 9am on the Thursday, with a due to end on the Friday. I am going to hazard a guess that it will carry on till the start of the Chart on the Friday. I am also glad it seems that pretty much ever presenters is going to be involved, I am guessing there is going to be a lot of zoom, so also a lot of zoom failures are going to happen I guess in the middle of the night.

Jono 55 Posted February 23 Author Report Share Posted February 23 I've only just realised why the press release has MAKE UK LAUGH AGAIN with random capitals throughout. It took until Scott and Chris said it on the radio to get the reference...! JamTriv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourcandles 5 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I think it's a shame they do these things on a weekday night, if it was a Friday or Saturday night I'd stay up to listen to parts of it. Is it due to the higher profile specialist shows being on the weekend nights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it due to the higher profile specialist shows being on the weekend nights? I am guessing a couple of reason here. One around the specialist shows at the weekend, as you say. also around that there are probably more listener during the week, and with more listeners more chance for donations. 4 hours ago, Ash101 said: Currently stands at 66 hours https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/longest-marathon-hosting-a-radio-talk-show-(team) Probably reached a point where it’s unattainable It is only 2.75 days. when the sole record is 88 hours, I think that record is very much breakable. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/longest-marathon-hosting-a-radio-talk-show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren m 11 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Yea I spose with Covid etc they maybe didn’t want to Do it I think it will be good radio I would think it will be Scott and Chris on with Clara etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee E 54 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 It is always good radio - I wonder if the 9am finish is a start point - we know that Katie is on the chart and we know Matt and Mollie are planning something for it, last time in 2019 it was due to be 24hrs and Greg was due to cover for Scott on the day after however they continued until 4 and made it 27, the same as 2017 when they started at 4 after their own show I reckon 9am is the minimum, and they will actually go to 4pm Friday making it 31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if they burnout with a whole week of buildup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeh 4 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I've just realised that it is Chris birthday on the 12th of March. So are they going to do anything for that I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
