There a reason commercial radio don't want the BBC to launch new stations.  It would allow Radio 2 to split making a older station and develop the current Radio 2 more for our generation. It would make Radio 2 very appealing which is not what they want.  I hope the BBC wins because we need more radio for us.

Why can't Jeremy Vine get tired of doing daily tv and radio?  Although if he left, do you think they would keep it as a predominately news/discussion program?

They have to as part of their license requirements to provide a certain amount of hours of news and current affairs programming, which the lunchtime slot fulfils.

Yeah, I remembered having read that before after I posted.  I just can't stand that show lol.  Oddly have quite liked Jeremy when he's popped up on other things so it's not him.  More likely I've just never enjoyed a call in news show with a broad audience.

I feel like it's one of the stumbling blocks to Radio 2 for younger audiences. I don't feel I can switch Scott on until after Vine. I work in news, I don't want to hear more 😂

Plus if you want to listen to a news programme you wouldn’t go to Radio 2.

I don't mind Jeremy Vine nowdays he does have some interesting people on now and again. But I am getting older now.

It's a funny old job with Radio 2 though. They are trying to palm off the old crew, eventually (and I don't mean this in a nasty way) they won't be about to complain. However with the 90s and the 00s they are very reserved on what they play. Remember the 90s and 00s had prodigy, slipknot, limp bizkit etc top of the pile. Those groups still feel more radio 1 even though we are taking many years ago.

There needs to be a bit of bravery and just go full on and stick on papa roach or linkin park. If this new 40s to 80s station happens. Radio 2 will jump the gap. 

on the grid.

I think that Prodigy are now quite a 6 Music thing they do play them quite a bit in the rave forever show and some of the rave stuff and gets the odd daytime play.

If the new station after its planning and review stage passes its up and coming stages to get it to air of the oldies station. I think that Radio 2 should have a request show encouraging deep cuts and lesser played tracks on the station ensure the radio system is full of the 80s-00s rock, hip-hop and dance tracks that the station rarely plays giving opportunity to hear rave and dance tracks on the station from that era to grunge or nu-metal stuff.

Yes I enjoy Coxy's All Request Friday but it ends up quite samey at times. Only so many times you can listen to The Proclaimers. Shame they couldn't have got Annie Nightingale to revive her show on Radio 2 sooner.

I feel that given the age group, there are probably requests for Pendulum, MCR, Prodigy, Chase and Status etc. But for the most part radio 2 still want to play it safe and play Torn by Natalie Imbruglia or The Proclaimers. They have been doing this for 30 years now, so they are finding it harder to change than radio 1 are by ditching tunes pre 2016. I did notice Jo Whiley will push the boat out sometimes post 7pm, hearing Wu Tang Clan on Radio 2 was a culture shock the other week.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      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?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      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.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      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.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      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?

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      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.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      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.
