Apart from 'schedule changes', which thread has rumbled on the longest?

How was your day was a pretty big one although Twitter took over from that ?

Wow 19 years!! that's amazing, congrats Jono ?

 

The stats listed on the forum say the most users online was on January 22nd 2020. Does anyone remember what was going on that day, was there an event or a big announcement happening?

Probably our last major mention on Radio 1 ?

Whatever happened to that Downcount fella.

Deported to Iran for crimes against technology.

Do you remember the one where Scott said we had the exclusives on Laura's clacker (or words like that) on here? I think it crashed the website, probably 2006. I have screengrabs.

Oh god, I'd forgotten that. We did anything for mentions ?

How did it even go out on the radio? 

I don't know from memory. But if the date can be tracked down I'm sure we would have clipped it out or I may have the show itself recorded.

 

EDIT: I've found it! 1st May 2007, the story was Laura went commando at the Sony Radio Awards the night before. Couple of mentions I've found are at the 2hr 10min mark (after Mylo/Miami Sound Machine), and at 2hr 15mins as well. There could be more about but I spotted those, he just puts us down as "the unofficial website". Backstory on it starts around 25 mins in.

Couple of website screenshots from the day itself as well. I've used my amazing mspaint editing skills to clean it up, as apparently we are more tasteful in 2023 than 2007. And are a Radio 2 family site now.

I think that image gave me nightmares! 

Although that show has brought back memories of racing home to get back for 4.08 for the Alright Treacle ?

Didn't one of them send it to you and ask you to put it on?

So from 19 years ago is it only Daniel P Carter, Pete Tong and Annie Nightingale left?

Damn has Dan P Carter really been there for that long, I knew it was over a decade  but I didn't know it was over 19 years

    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
