Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

[Monitorabbit]

Ooo - it was all hype?? Who'd a thought it eh?

She will be getting a small slot on Annie Mac though, I guess??

[Jono]

The People and Iain Smith have about the same validity.

Is the People anymore crediable than NOTW ?

Well done to Radio 1 if they have signed her though. I've since changed my mind on the whole thing. Although it doesnt really give much hope to the Mikes and DCs of the radio world if they are aimming for Radio 1.

It seems Radio 1 are going for well known household names rather than true radio talent. Its not how it use to be and they should give more scope and although more transp. to allow all on to Radio 1, if only limited.

To be fair, you should never aim to work on Radio 1. They find you. Its the MI6 of the Radio world.

They still seem to be on about her in the People today -

TEEN party girl PEACHES GELDOF wants a presenting job on TV - and reckons she'll be better at it than WAG COLEEN McCLOUGHLIN.

Pals say the daughter of SIR BOB and the late Paula Yates is already being lined up for Big Bro's Big Mouth after she takes her A-levels.

And just last week we revealed how the 18-year-old has landed a coveted role on Radio 1 alongside ANNIE MAC.

Peaches said of WAYNE ROONEY'S girl Coleen: "I can't believe she has been offered a TV show... it's just because she dates a footballer."

Radio 1 are going in an odd direction with employment at the moment. Fearne Cotton, and now Peaches Geldof. They just seem very similar and aimed at one audience. It's always been Moyles, Mills and JK and Joel that people talk about at college and out and about. That's what I'd say Radio 1 is about. I've never bumped in to people saying "Did you hear Fearne and Reggie this morning" and I doubt I'll hear people say the same for Peaches. She's cute, but that doesn't work on the radio.

I think that's the answer, very male orientated at the moment really, do Edith & Jo really add anything to the schedule ?

I'll reserve judgement until I have heard her I think

[Monitorabbit]

...really, do Edith & Jo really add anything to the schedule ?...

Actually - yes! How can you say that?? Or was it ironic?

I think Peaches may know someone who knows a particular journalist, this works well on both sides, the journo gets an easy story and Peaches gets talked about.

And appearing to be a desirable property is always a good step towards getting more work, isn't it?

This will be so funny Dear god why are channel 4 trying to outdo ITV who yesterday announced that waste of oxygen nicki (BB7) would host the Xtra Factor. S

Word is that Peaches Geldof might be taking over the sunday 9-10pm slot starting in september,with Annie Mac moving full time as presenter of the Sunday Surgery.If this is the case will you welcome Peaches to the station?

[Monitorabbit]

Where'd you get this from Iain?

[Mike]

Oh how annoying. Lets hope she talks more than she did at Glasto...

[iain_smith]

I heard it on the grapevine...8)

[Mike]

Lets just say, Iain has "Ties" with Radio 1 eh?

[Jono]

Radio 1 seem quite keen to build on what annie is doing on her 9pm show so I disagree with the original poster.

[sebdevlin]

Wasn't this covered here http://www.themillsfansite.com/communities/showthread.php?t=6879&highlight=peaches

i'm sure all the opinions are still valid I know mine aint changed

Who is Peaches Geldof?

[Behelzebub]

Meh, I don't like her, she's just another spoilt rock star brat.

[Monitorabbit]

I would be very suprised if this happens.

I would be very suprised if this happens.

Why would you be surprised?

[Jono]

Because it's coming from Iain Smith for a start.

[Monitorabbit]

"Being a part of Trash Pussies has opened us up to so many new genres of music and artists we probably wouldn't have been interested in before, and its always fun to discover new things. We don't take ourselves seriously, we both have no intention of being 'djs' for a living, as we both have other jobs.

I don't understand why people jump to conclusions at something that is in every way productive. If someone hears a set and hears something new and enjoys it, that is an honourable thing.

We hope people come to gigs to enjoy music just as we play gigs to enjoy music.

We don't see djing as an 'art' or ambition, just as a way to have fun and play music we love and believe in"

Come to think of it she'd probably be interested in guesting on Sunday Surgery though, that's a bit more of a journalist and broadcaster role.

[Jono]

According to the Daily Mail today (yeah, great for a source), it's not going ahead, as we expected. I think Kelly Osbourne was her replacement.

The newspaper column she began at the age of 15 has been quietly dropped, and claims from her circle that she is to become one of Radio 1's youngest ever DJs have been laughed off by the station.

In fact, insiders told the Mail that her semi-regular segment, talking about the concerts she has been to, on DJ Annie Mac's evening show is likely to be dropped when the station revises its format next month.

Can I just point out that this post was originally in a thread of it sown .Moving it to this thread makes me look like a bit of a pillock since I had only just posted above it that the story of Peaches being hired was a load of rubbish,which in fact it eventually turned out to be of course.

yes because it would make sense you said it was rubbish then posted another thread about it being true? its chronological order.

dont worry you look a pillock without any moved threads....
