Hi all,

When Edith first flew solo on afternoons I really wasn't convinced. But just recently I find myself listening more and more and really enjoying her warm and chatty style. It certainly beats what's on elsewhere. Anyone agree that she's seen marked improvement?

I actually started listening to Colin and Edith before Scott, it was only when I left the radio on after four that I found the Lord, so I do agree that Colin and Edith were better together. That said, I like Edith's show, and she's much better than the other DJs that are on at that time. The movies don't bother me too much, but I'm not that keen. I listen when I can, but I don't get annoyed if I miss a show.

she is ok, but i still think jk and joel should of been there. it's still more bareable than hearing that other person whoever he was thinking he was funny, y'know that one who used to do it with her.

on the grid.

i like her, she seems sort of down to earth and up for a laugh which is a good quality to have in almost any kind of presenter and i think shes a good dj, obviously knows a fair bit about music seeing as how you see her everywhere presenting one thing or another.

one thing though, her shows not as funny as when colin was on, they had good chemistry. and i dont really like him as much without her, even though the later time-slot seems to suit him. stick 'em both on together in colin's current time-slot and then you've got a show you cant fault. well you probably can if you're picky or just rude but i'm choosing to exclude you for the purposes of making my point =]

and then annie mac could do the 1-4 show. shes not on enough.

:)

and i don't know, this could break my heart or save me...

I think that Edith is a good DJ and I like her.... but I dont like her show as much as before.

I never really understood why C and E broke up... it was a good format, funny and a lot of people liked their show. Then Edith spent months almost pining for Colin... talking about him as if he was still there. And there isnt really anything in Colins evening show that he couldnt have done in the afternoon.

At least shes stopped doing that now. But to attract new listeners and stop loosing old listeners who prefered the C and E show, I think she needs to do something different.

I hate the way she constantly plays Editors. Is she still with Tom? If so, stop plugging your boyfriend's band!

Er, most of Radio 1 play The Editors.

As for Colin Murray, really good listen in the evening. He was good with Edith, but he's even better in his own show.

Yeah but she did yesterday and today :). I'd rather they had the show together.

I thought that she had some choice... there are playlist songs then the DJs can add in their own choices... which is why there are sometimes a mixture of old and new songs....

It would be interesting to look at the playlists... I think Edith has played an Editors song every day for almost a month...either a new release or the latest single or something from last year....

I wonder if every radio 1 DJ has done the same thing... if so they must have a really narrow list of bands to play from... and everyone would play exactly the same songs.

Its almost a routine to guess when the editors song will turn up in her show!

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      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.

      It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html

      I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown

      The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.
