Like I said in an earlier post Scott should take part lol as he’s never done it before only pressed the buttons 

Something's sticking in the back of my mind that he did do innuendo bingo himself once? (possibly with his Strictly partner). I do agree, I hope they get a few more bingo's in... with a big name guest or Scott V Chris as a finale.

My current practice is to listen to Scott M on R1 2pm-3pm, then Steve W on R2 3pm-4pm, so I'll just give that a slight tweak when the time comes, for whoever is gonna be on R1 at 2pm ...

Fingers crossed the same quota of entertaining (albeit, different) features will be used, throughout ...

The one thing I certainly won't miss about Mr Wright is his continual breaking of one of Radio's most sacred principles - that you don't pass off pre-recorded stuff as live. Heck, even the studio 'applause' which greets the pre-recorded guest was itself pre-recorded, years ago! 

The trained ear can of course spot when this happens, but, for casual listeners, he is gulling them into thinking that he is a much smoother, wittier operator than he actually is (all the glitches having been ironed out already).  All he ever had to say was something like 'I spoke to [celebrity] earlier, and here's what they said' - Not (straight out of record): 'It's [celebrity], everyone!' - There is just something fundamentally dishonest about that ...

My final predictions or punts on it will be:

Matt & Mollie in the afternoon’s (til mid-2025) 

James Cusack *WildCard* for the chart

as think the chart high profile slot but with very pre-formatted links and text tweets and rigid format. Kind of great show for newer presenter.

Maia Beth becomes the new  Future Pop (Presenter when it launches)

Katie Thistleton on weekend afternoons. Maybe do more Lifehack blend of conversation in her show

Life Hacks with Sam & Danni

See Rakeem Omah, Kerri Cosh, Vicky Hawksworth, Matty Chabi, Connor Coates continue to cover. And take shows in next shuffle.

Chippy out of interest why did you stop listening. Around the same time Moyles left?

It's a good question.

Sometimes you can just have too much of a good thing and need a change. Plus it's around the time I went to uni...

I might have stopped around the time Beccy left so I think it might have felt like a good time to move on. End of an era sort-of feelings.

I stopped listening to Scott back around 2012 after being an avid podcast listener for years and years.

This could be a good opportunity to rediscover him again and make the transition to become a grown-up who listens to Radio 2...

Im similar, although I never fully stopped listening. Just not as avid as I was around 2006. If I was in the car for a long trip or near a radio he would be on. It was really the post 2010 Radio 1 playlist that pushed me away more than anything else. And I was 22 years old around that point too. Scott's content has always been great, although Chappers and Laura in my era helped make it what it was. 

on the grid.

Just thought I'd pop in to say a farewell to Scott on Radio 1. I've caught a few moments of this final week. How wonderful was it to hear Chappers yesterday? It really brought back memories of the days when Timsk and I lived on UM. So I want to thank Scott and UM and all its regulars for bringing us together - still together after 15 years! Thank you Scott for being your lovely self. I notice not much is being said on air about the mass exodus of all his fans who plan to follow him to Radio 2, but I'm definitely one of these. I'm really looking forward to his new show - and finally accepting my age demographic! All the very best.

      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?

      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.

      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.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      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.
