I'd rather have actually heard more from the Electric Proms rather than the equivalent of a 'Radio 1 presents Oasis' which is all it seems to be. There's a special show tomorrow night but it seems all the other bands have been pushed aside for this, and they will only focus on the indie side of stuff.

It seemed a bit pointless putting Grimmy and Annie on late when the kids will be in bed, anyway.

Well, yeah, me too. I remember three years ago the coverage was brilliant. I remember we were hearing The Good, The Bad, and The Queen's material for the first time and they kept having to stop and start singing again. They were like "Oh, but now you can sing along now!", it was a very good listen, cheered me up when I was sitting there ill in bed.

They've been putting a lot of the material on the shows before Early Breakfast, I think it would have been great if they just had them all live as I would have liked to listen to Burt Bacharach. The thing is, maybe a lot of this wouldn't suit the Radio 1 audience.

But Oasis have been particularly always on Radio 1, even Noel did that whole Established 1967 thing and when Stop The Clocks came out, he did that Live Lounge. He has a whole history of being friends with Jo Whiley and I bet if she wasn't off having a baby, she'd be doing their introduction. I guess they shouldn't be calling it their own thing, but it's not like they're not doing commentary and everything between it.

And yeah, I agree, there wasn't a need to have them on that late.

I like the idea of the Electric proms, but watching the audience it does seem to be a bit elitist, and listening to R1 talking about it almost all the audience seem to be employed by the BBc or friends and family! I wonder how tickets were allocated?

If they filmed it intending it for broadcast as Tv show etc why not put it on as a more mainstream programme at an earlier time?

Maybe Radio 1 and 2 could use the footage and put it on as a bank holiday special in a few months time.

For the week begining 17th November. Huw now seems to be the first choice fill in for the evening shows which is interesting. Nihal and Annie Mac don't seemed to be used as much in these slots any more.

Nihal did 2 Thursdays for Colin then last night they got Grimmy doing it which was an odd choice for that show

I was under the belief that Colin broadcasts live from a studio near Five when he presented TV coverage.

It depends where the football match is being played. Sometimes he is in a studio close to Radio 1, but on other occasions he will be at the stadium where the game is being played, which means he has no chance of being able to do his radio show.

Correct, except on one occasion when he did a match very close to the BBC Radio Scotland so did the show from there. Five's coverage finished at ten and he did his first link at 10 past ten! While we're on the subject he's a great football presenter.

      Radio 2 in the Park 2024

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      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.

      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.

      Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).

      Arielle Free's wedding

      By callspy · Posted

      Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.

      Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background.

      They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.

      What's going on with Newsbeat?

      And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.

      I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.

      From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn

      Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.

      It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore.
