My radio day

Recommended Posts

Lot of 'ideal radio schedules' on these forums, but how does your radio day look?

I usually start with Greg James, move on to Vernon Kay, then a little bit of Rickie Melvin and Charlie, listen to Scott Mills and then back to Vick and Jordan.

Weekends it's Sam and Danni, Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosbie on Radio X, Matt and Mollie then Dance Anthems or Life Hacks.

Mine is Greg and then Vernon at 1030, then maybe stick around for Vine if the topics interest me if not i wack on a podcast. Then Mills 2-4 then over to Vick and Jordan until 5.45 switch over to Coxy on Radio 2 then Jo Whiley to end the day. 

Weekends Sam&Danni, Katie, Matt&Mollie, switch to 5Live for the footy(if not on then Dance Anthems) Love Nat on Sunday and Vick and Katie doing the Chart 6-7

Greg James in the morning (best thing on the radio), then I usually do other things and don't listen to the radio that much. If I'm in the car I try to listen to Scott Mills on Radio 2 in the afternoons. Sometimes I try to catch Clara's and Jack's shows in the evening. On the weekends it's Radio 1 all the way - it's brilliant, especially Matt & Mollie.

Radio 1 wise I'll always try to catch at least some of the following if I can:

-Greg's show

-Vick & Jordan

-Future Pop

-Katie Thistleton

-Matt & Mollie & Party Anthems

-Danny Howard

When it comes to other stations, I give Scott a listen on Radio 2 and throw Capital Dance on quite a bit and might sometimes give Absolute or 5 Live a listen.

I would say though quite a lot of my listening outside Radio 1 these days is often podcasts whether that be The News Agents, Tailenders or something else.

Usually jumping between Radio 1 and 2 if I've only got fm. Switch to 2 when something I don't like is on Radio 1, vice versa when they start saying how great the 80s are on Radio 2 and play Jimmy Nail or sommat. In my car I have dab. So kisstory, Radio X and Absolute. Plus WCR, a local station where I am in wolves. Usually make a good effort for Scott when he's on.

on the grid.

Radio 1 during the day Monday to Friday. Radio 3 or Classic FM or Jazz Mix on Spotify in the evenings (studying). If by myself on a Friday I'll pop on Michelle Visage.

Weekend is spotty but Radio 1 for chores except for Elaine Page on Sunday.  If studying then the aforementioned.

The Radio Times, plus trial-and-error dial-twiddling over the years! ?

Obviously not everything gets my undivided attention, according to whether I'm at work, out & about etc. But aim for an overall sense of quality and variety...

I think those radio player/ tune-in apps are missing out on a tool where you can create your own radio calendar if I had set radio routine that is station hoping it would be good to create your own schedule so it switches seamlessly without going into different apps or opening app and jumping to different service. I’m very on-demand but most of the time its a mix of Times Radio and 6 Music. But use a lot of podcasts, playlists and on-demand listening.

That's an excellent idea. So excellent, that it will probably never happen ...

Guessing some broadcasters would hate it, but consumer-wise it's a great idea.

Yes, like @Old Codger Fan said unlikely to happen and what you said some broadcasters like Global would hate it and Jono think thats the main reason it would never happen. At least on-demand radio experience is vastly improving.

It would be good but there will be some reason, my theory is that Global or Bauer would see it as a way to avoid ads indirectly without paying. But also you would not kept in a captive environment to just leave it on which is what wallpaper radio stations lives on

    • 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
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
