Radio 1 Relax is going to be decommissioned 

 

I think a clever thing would be to treat most of Sundays playlist in Matt & Mollie, Lifehacks, Sam & Danni having adopting the playlist of Radio 1 Relax and embedding it in to the vibe. As they did select some good tracks in the playlist and could be around the regular features and programming of the station. I wonder what their listening stats of people who click on the live feed.

Bring back The Blue Room!

I hope the Powerdown Playlist remains. Not sure where it fits into the new evening schedule. The Chillest Show is great but the music is so diverse I don't always find it relaxing. It took a bit of a change when Phil Taggart left. 

My issue was that having an Alexa device it always feels so clunky to find any named show. Having the stream was an easy way to get to that content. 

I wonder if the new streams will cover the Christmas music in the future... It seemed like a big draw.

When read-up about The Blue Room it’s seemed like something I’d have listened to when it was on-air. I hope they consider giving a rejig to some of the evening programmes which could move The Chillest Show back to late night on sunday for three hours like it was when Phil Taggart presented it. I think Power Down can work on a weekly basis as has done on Monday but think there will be move to scale back from its three nights a week presence. Regarding with its Christmas programming they would have to consider do they effectively want to be another Christmas music rsdio service when that time of year comes.

      Eurovision 2024

      https://youtu.be/A_Cycjg5_9A?si=NiLTFeiTNWBExFoR   As barmy as Sam Ryder has now gone, as shown in this video. I'd still rather it than that bland Olly Alexander record.

      Well done Scott!

      Rylan and Scott

      By NathanS · Posted

      I like Scott, and I listen to Rylan's show every week... they do sound great together on Eurovision etc but.. as for a daily show together, I don't think it would work. Rylan would probably have to reign it in a bit which would lose his appeal, otherwise it may become too chaotic, in my opinion. That Saturday slot is perfect for Rylan, his rapport with Sally Traffic and Lottie is great. I suppose it comes down to cost as well and if he would want a daily show?   Radio 2 are clearly happy with Scott's show, and considering he's just won Best Entertainment Show at the ARIA's, I can't see them changing much.

      A win for Scott which is fantastic after the last few years he's been through!

      Do you want to work in radio?

      By onlyME · Posted

      Am I outnumbered for not wanting to work in radio? It feels like there's a lot of geeks that want a job in the industry here.

      Thought Sam and Danni were robbed of an award.

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job.

      They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments.

      By GrimsbyGal · Posted

      I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!

      Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort.

      Eurovision 2024

      By lochnessa · Posted

      I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.

      Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year?

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.
