Interesting podcast with Comedy Dave about Radio 1 -  https://play.acast.com/s/chat...om-chris-moyles-radio-1-show

Talks a lot about "Moyles" but doesn't address him by his first name.

He admits he went into a bit of a "wasteland" after Radio 1.

A shame the pair never reunited.

May be the case that they may not hear from eachother these days and living different lives assuming as ‘Comedy’ Dave Vitty was a team member not a secondary presenter that Chris Stark is think they have different friendships. Think Moyles’ team was relatively large where as with Scott and Chris for the duration of the afternoon era of Scott Mills’ Radio 1 Show history are only constants on the show. Think Moyles seems to do stuff on social media and in any media relatively exclusive for Radio X got his own team over there. His foot into podcasting is only radio highlights and wrap up of his radio x show and James O’Brien podcast one of for a LBC Global Podcast and few tv appearances. 

Find only time if ever he’d do something of reunion is for a reunion thing if there was money involved. As Moyles only really does things for money I think these days (opinion, could be wrong).

Do feel that maybe when 3 years-ish after Radio 1 when the Radio X Breakfast show came around Dave Vitty didnt quite get the look in think he did a short stint on Hits Radio with Dom of sports news and think maybe one ex producer joining him on Breakfast maybe he didnt get a look in and work dried up.

Thin maybe the relationship after Radio 1 wasnt the same as maybe Chris Moyles didn’t see Dave as close as some other staff.

Even after 10 years it still seems raw how it ended. Shame really as they used to spend a lot of time together, even outside of the show. I was listening to an old Chris Moyles afternoon show from 2001 on mixcloud recently, they were chatting about a few years previous when they first met on early breakfast in 1997. Talking about how they literally spent any other time outside of Radio 1 in this particular pub nearby. Even on Saturday morning sjows they spent the previous Friday nights out together somewhere a lot of the time. 

on the grid.

I mean it will be 10 Years this September. Whilst any sort of large reunion is unlikely, don't rule out them doing something, as it was a key part of Radio 1's history.

DC, I too was listening to some old stuff on the archive and on YouTube where various clips have been put up, only now when I listen to it back you realise just how brilliant they all were together as a team.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
