Frozen Indigo Angel?

Looking at the in-house magazine, I see Hugh Garry blames Rhys. Executive Producer of Chris Moyles and Scott Mills show. Have you all failed to notice Rhys has now left to work at Five Live? Did he say it just because he knew Rhys was off and it wouldn't matter, or did internal matters cause him to leave.

I can't afford the subscription to Ariel, can you post an extract?

It would seem the BBC are starting to clear up after themselves... The Frozen Indigo Angel text has gone from the tracklisting, so I thought I'd check out my downloaded copy of the video podcast against what's online now:

No change in filename, so the original must have been used to replace it. If this were an issue with a hacker somehow keeping a route open into the BBC network and having fun at their expense, this is what I'd have expected to see (as in the replacement by off-line backups). But much, much sooner - which with the recent audio addition still makes me think it's intentional within the BBC.

Paul Denchfield has also updated his blog.

See what I mean. Check out his latest blog entry. You laughed when I said it was a big crisis at Radio 1. Hugh Garry and his team are now trying to bring in legal aid to resolve this. If this was really a viral campaign Radio 1 would have promoted it a bit more by now. They haven't.

Lol, youll find no definite answers in the 32 pages.

Everyones confused. Whatever it is, it better be something good. It better be no lame band promotion thing!

The theory of Radio 1 simply promoting the different platfroms seems a believable one.

"Listen To The Silence, Let It Ring On"

Joy Division Lyrics - Transmission Lyrics

Radio live -- transmission -- Radio --

live transmission

Listen to the silence, let it ring on

Eyes dark, relentless, frightened of the sun

We would have a fine time living in the night

Left a blind instruction,

take away our sight

We would go on as though nothing

was wrong

And hide from these days to remain all alone

Staying in the same place,

staring all the time

Touching from a distance, further all the time

Dance, dance, dance, dance,

dance to the radio (4)

And I could call out when the going

gets tough

And we could make contact if we just

don't look

No language, just sound

is all that I know

We'll synchronize love to the beat

of the show

And we could dance, dance, dance, dance,

dance to the radio (4)

>> I'm on here every now and again... <<

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
