Hello! Finally home from my photography thing in Derry, but the bloody bus had no radio signal. :( What've I missed then?

Hello Kelly :) Erm... what you have missed? Scott asked if anyone would be willing to call their child Spiderpig, and a couple told him they'd do it if they'd get tickets to Snow Patrol (I think..) :D

Well I thought I'd heard it all today.

Imagine my surprise when during a talk on-air today, the DJ played this:

"YO BABY! THIS IS WESTWOOD! YOU'RE LISTENING TO MY MAN ROY WALLER ON BBC RADIO NORFOLK"

God knows how they wrangled that one. And no idea how a 65 year old DJ knows who Westwood is.

I can't call my first child Spiderpig; I've promised to call him/her Mangleburger Tree.

Haha, I don't knwo why, but I don't want my child to be called Spiderpig ;)

Emma has named her German folder Spiderpig though :P

Well, Westwood is almost fifty...

Maybe the Norfolk guy used to be his baby sitter,

I expect all the celebs will start calling their children Jane and John once the rest of us start to give our children interesting names. :)

UM is a nice place

What was said? I presume Zane's doing his show before coming to the UEA? Gutted I've missed a lot of the show this week, I do like a bit of Your Views in the afternoon... looks like I'm going to have to wait over three weeks for that now!

Ooh, Mutya's sounding good. This is one of my all-time favourite songs, so I hope she does it justice.

Y'know what's not a good idea? Drinking Koppaberg for most of the afternoon, then heading to your old school to meet with your ex-headmistress and sign a contract. :confused:

    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • 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. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
    • Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable.
