Are you agreeing with me or DC, Serin?

Well from my perspective, I wouldn't agree that the forum is a 'nice place' and everyone is nice. In the real world, people aren't like that. You'll meet people who you like and connect with and people you won't and don't. That's how it is. The forum isn't an unpleasant place to post in, but it's far from some utopia some people might have you believe.

I think this website has changed in the last three to four weeks. I'm a bit concerned it's getting quite critical of Scott Mills. What went wrong?

Can't say I've been wholly aware of it myself. It's just been the same old, same old from my POV.

I think it's just people getting annoyed about the Big Weekend, and stress from coursework and exams. I haven't noticed anything major though.

Yeah, it's that time of year. The Big Weekend is the most extreme example of the overpromotion of Radio 1 events and always annoys people.

What is the 'same old, same old'?

Well I think if people were being critical of Scott Mills it'd come to the fore straightaway. I haven't noticed much of that. The FIA caused a bit of controversy, but we're hardly on the brink of knifing one another over it.

that could be because they treat the regular listeners like dirt and give them all to locals?

Well that is the whole ethos of the big weekend that they take it to somewhere which doesn't get real music festivals and that local people get to experience it although the whole ebay fiasco sours it a bit

to be honest if scott does somthing i dont like, i say. some things in his show i find better than others. but as for the one big weekend crusade that radio 1 are up to, that isn't scotts fault. he's told by radio 1 managment to say it and do the quizzes a certain amount of times in his show. you have to get used to it, to hear radio 1 bosses speak, dundee was a faliure compared to this one it's so amazing you'll faint, and the next one will follow suit next time. theres a lot more to come, it will be mentioned in alomost every show for at least 3 or 4 weeks after and you'll probably have edith on saying how amazing some overrated band doing a crap performance and spending the time crowd hyping sounded.

no it isn't scotts fault, he is trying to fit in as much as the norm as he can right now.

on the grid.

    • It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).
    • On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!
    • I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones. 
    • The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf
    • Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
    • I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently! 
    • That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.
    • Moyles spent most of the 52hr sgow calling him that lol
    • I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter  
    • I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?
    • Maia Beth is doing Friday Early Breakfast on 7th & 14th June.
    • Joel Mitchell is in for Nat on Sunday 9th June.
    • Ore Olukoga is on 13.00-16.00 on Friday 31st May and Friday 7th June.  Nikita Kanda is doing Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
    • Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
