I believe Moyles, Whiley and Zane Lowe are nominated for a radio award. Looking at most news websites today they seem obsessed with writing about who is nominate and who is playing. But who really cares?

I used to be quite passionate about these awards and the gigs that complemented them, but they don't reflect new music at all any more.

Playing in this year's NME Awards Tour is 'The Cribs, Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong, The Ting Tings and Does It Offend You Yeah?'. Yeah that's big names...

I don't think it's really meant to be a big-name tour tbh - although The Cribs are moderately famous. I think part of it's about showcasing bands that could be big this year.

And you're right simon37, the NME Awards are basically the indie equivalent of the Smash Hits awards with their "sexiest male/female" and "hero/villain of the year" categories, I've never really thought much of them.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

The thing is though, those respective bands weren't as big in the years they played it. They were all 'up-and-coming' and on their first albums. It's more or less the same thing here.

Who else should get nominated then. Who else has the scope of listenership to compete. What famous club Dj's are there in that league. None. As I said it went to peel every year before his death really so it's no surprise Zane will get it again and again.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

it should go to one of the dj's that hasn't won it before, i have listened to Russel Brands show a few times & get the pod cast & its :giggle: very good.

Zane is good & has a good show, but he can get a bit boring sometimes, Jo puts in a lot of work & the live lounge is very good, Colin's show is probably the best music-wise, Chris is just the same as he always has been.

i think Colin will win :)

      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.

      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?

      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.

      So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2

      There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine.

      I felt it was much better with the staging and everything.  I still cannot warm to his voice but he's a very good performer. Ireland was everything though.
