Hello All,

Not been around for a long time and only poping in from time to time to see how the sites going. Hope you are all well and not to many of us have floods around us. One thing i would like to ask is how many of you out there Blog!? Some of my mates have had ago and it only lasts a few weeks or days even before they never go back. And on the other hand i know some that spend hours on there own blog and others reading.

With this in mind about 6-9 months ago i set to to find out what was out there for there person on the street and with my partner set to to try and come up with an easy to use one stop blog network (Much like Blogger and wordpress in one)

This is were i would like to ask how many of you blog? Have you done it in the past and then stopped or still do? What do you use? (Blogger, Wordpress or other). Let me know on here and if you have a blog lets see it!

Now here is the big one i would like to ask if any of you out there to help me in testing the network we have built. Right now it's in beta and its not flash at all yet (well the home page that is). Its all free and all am after is some feed back and how it is to sign up and use. There may be a few bugs or some links might not work but this is were we need you! So if you would like to take part just pop over to www.wiipal.co.uk and click on the link that says "create one"

Thanks Very Much!

James

I used to do one on a website my mate developed, but then got bored when people stopped visiting, and life got a bit boring recently, so my myspace blog ended.

I use this forum as an outlet when I have something to say or discuss. People probably don't read it, but then that's no different to a blog.

I don't blog, though I have nothing against those that have enough to say to warrant doing so. I just don't really want to inflict my thoughts and opinions on anyone more than I already do here and elsewhere.

However, I could REALLY fill a blog with work related stuff if it wasn't so confidential - and if it didn't threaten my continued employment of course.

A lot of friends/ex-colleagues write techie blogs which can be incredibly useful in my line of work, though where they find the time bewilders me

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      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.

      Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable.

      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.
