Radio 2 Line-Up

Hi everyone was just thinking about what would convince me to be a full time Radio 2 listener. Im not a big lover of channel hopping so would like something i can commit to. For me i have thought up a fantasy line up.

Early Breakfast- OJ Borg

Breakfast- Moyles if ever possible or Mills

Mid Mornings- Jo Whiley

Midday- Newsbeat style show with lots of listener interaction maybe Colin Murray

Afternoons- Coxy

Drive- Mills/Christian O Connell

Evenings- Edith Bowman

I know it will never happen but what does everyone think/ your own dream line ups?

I'd personally want (and tbf expect if he wanted it) Vernon Kay to be offered a full time role at some point. Social Media reaction is in reality a small snapshot of overall audience, however... it's very rare a cover presenter gets an overwhelmingly positive response as Vernon does.

 

I think this wouldn't be a bad lineup in a few years

 

Overnights Owain Wynn Evans (from Salford)

Early Breakfast- OJ Borg (from Salford)

Breakfast-Sara Cox

Mid Morning- Ken Bruce for a little while longer... succeeded by Vernon Kay

Lunchtime current affairs show- Tina Daheley

Afternoons- Scott Mills

Drivetime-Zoe Ball

 

Jo Whiley and Trevor Nelson's show sit perfectly where they are

    • Roman Kemp 😜 We don't know how Jordan is going to sounds on Capital.  It might not work as he will be restricted. Something that sounds good on paper doesn't always work out.  Not long ago Jordan was taking the micky out of Capital.  Can't do that now like he did at Radio 1 because the new place hate criticism.  I think Will was at radio 1 at one point wasn't he? 
    • Hats off to Chris for leaving a challenge for Greg.  To plan that out was great detailing and proves what a talented guy he is.  The post he posted on Instagram also links into it which is great to.  There is loyalty to Greg there so I don't think he's joining Capital.  Persephonica was looking for an 'experienced entertainment producer' a few months ago. I wonder if this is where Chris might be heading? 
    • Jordan North… Seriously though, out of the commercial stations I only really listen to Capital but I do think Will Manning is very strong (and could quite easily slot into R1). I also think Jimmy Hill is a very good commercial DJ (but probably wouldn’t be as good on R1).
    • First link made me blush 
    • Who do you think is the best commercial presenter? This is your view, doesn't have to be who has the most ratings 
    • Starting off strong. 
    • I remember Chase and Status being added to the line-up for Coventry after a drop out. At the time it seemed a bit random, but they seem massive again now!
    • That is a bit strange, yes. Fair point. Oh yes, I'd say both are equal. It's just they'll have been on Instagram for some time, whereas TikTok will have been a new addition in recent years, so something probably has to give. Us anoraks like to see Twitter as important, but I find myself putting much more time into those other platforms. Incidentally when I applied for a social job there probably four years back (wasn't successful!) I did say I thought the audience wanted more insight from the station rather than just content around the stars. I think they've moved a lot more in that direction, especially with the visualisation in the studio. You see more of Greg James than Harry Styles. I don't envy the PR machine at Radio 1 going straight from Mollie King's challenge to Big Weekend announcements without a break!
    • Since they starting the big weekend right at the end of Matt & Mollie’s show I expect they get to do the duties of opening up the festival.
    • Matt and Mollie and Sam and Danni have DJ sets on Friday of Big Weekend, still makes me think they are really keen to push both pairings in a hole left by Jordan.
    • Broadcast wise it’s going to be interesting to see how they handle the performances starting at the same time as the chart show.
    • Yes sort of, although it’s still weird that they tweeted when Mollie was halfway completed but did not do so when she crossed the finish line.
    • it would make sense to ensure both instagram and TikTok are treated as equals and kept in tandem as reels and downloads of instagram are growing when TikTok I think I’ve heard is stagnating.    I mean it makes sense to do less with Twitter or X as it has change. There has been a lot of change in how its run and operate with focus on making it a platform people pay for and its been volatile for advertising with lots of loss in paid promotions on the platform and the business worth has been waining and any communications and marketing for any business and organisations are seeing that
    • I feel like all ATB songs started with some sort of airport in their video
