Summer on Radio 1

[E*F*4L]

the westwood show will be funny :giggle: especially if he has to play the normal daytime play-list !

[YoppaDo]

Oh no! They gave Westwood MORE airtime. 2-3 hours a week is more than enough. He is good for a laugh though (laughing at him not with him of course).

[KingTutsWWH]

What is Rob Da Bank's style of music? i know all the others but what is Robs? :confused:

A bit of EVERYTHING really. He's Radio 1's 'replacement' for John Peel. It's a VERY tough job, but I think he is doing pretty well.

Rob's show is the show I'm most excited to hear. It's described as "experimental" and is relaxing to hear. He was better on the 'Blue Room' though.

[Jugalug]

Always loved Rob Da Bank. He falls under 'Experimental' on the R1 website (but it's a bit of everthing). So we have Rock/Indie, Dance, Hip Hop and Exp on Easter Monday.

[Monitorabbit]

Bet Gill can though.

Zane in the morning should be worth waking up for, definitely.

Westwood's good for his own audience, I think. I was shocked and embarrassed when some people booed him at Preston.

Students from Cambridge student radio station CUR1350 are claiming their prize of a show on Radio 1 this weekend as seven presenters host the early show on Bank Holiday Monday.

The special show is in recognition of CUR1350's Best Student Radio Station award at the SRA's (Student Radio Awards) in November 2007.

The presenters will make their way down to the UK's capital, to broadcast from the famous Yalding House studios on Great Portland Street with full BBC training prior to their show, which is being broadcast between 5 and 7am on Monday morning.

Michael Brooks, station manager between 2005 and 2007 is thrilled: "The level of quality is evident through the fact that the BBC is letting us loose on one of their biggest national radio stations BBC Radio 1, and we very much look forward to demonstrating to the rest of the UK what university students, staff and researchers from Cambridge University and Anglia Ruskin can listen to on CUR1350."

Ahahaha, Westwood's attempt at an "it's only bley Friday" was brilliant, Scott should get him to do it every week... you honestly wouldn't believe that he's 50 years old, I used to despise him with a passion but now he's starting to grow on me because of his sheer comedy genius.

Generally I like this 'reverse scheduling' idea but to be honest I'm not too keen on the idea of waking up to Zane Lowe...

[KingTutsWWH]

Gill and me may have to agree to disagree with you on the Zane front. I, for one think his voice might be rather appealing to wake up to in the morning.

I also used to loathe Westwood. My little brother listened to him all the time, and it was all 'SHOUTOUT to the Milton Keynes posse!' etc. Now however, I see him as a caricature and find him hilarious.

Rob da Bank is a really good DJ. Even Jo seemed a bit in awe of him on her show today.

I hope I'll be able to listen to most of the stuff on Monday, I'm rather looking forward to it.

[Behelzebub]

Yeah, it'll be interesting to listen to Rob da Bank if he's supposed to be the next John Peel.

[Mike]

Looking forward to it, Zane on the brekkie show should be quite good.

[jembie]

A good reason to not have the radio on all day on Monday then...

[Mike]

Zane Lowe sounds wasted. He's just told Jack Penate that he has a nice figure...

[Geezer7348]

Zane Lowe sounds wasted.

Beginning to wonder why I am listening to Zane, I can barely make a word out that he is saying as the words seem to leave his mouth at 100MPH!. Never realised he spoke so quickly when he does his show.

[Behelzebub]

I actually quite enjoyed listening to him, it was good to hear some decent music in the morning for once.

[KingTutsWWH]

Yay! I love Rob da Bank. He's playing Adam and the Ants! He's made my Bank Holiday Monday.

Missed Zane - shame.

[Jono]

The whole day is on my Sky+ as I had a feeling it'd be a good one. Rob Da Bank appears to have MSN open as I keep hearing the noise of people sending messages to him!

A nice bit of Laura Marling from Rob...

Bless Grace. "Is that his real name?" I think his parents would be quite harsh if they did decide to name him Rob Da Bank.

[KingTutsWWH]

Lovely bit of Primal Scream. *turns up radio*

Can Rob d B do a couple of Whiley's show's every week please?

[James R]

How fast does Zane talk!?? Didnt enjoys Robs show though. I like allsorts of music but his show didnt do anything for me.

[The Stig]

Only heard Rob and quite enjoyed listning to him. I'll have a bit of a listen to Zane on the I Player later an all.

[Jono]

Can't help but think Judge Jules' show is being made mainstream today. I don't think he'd normally play a remix of the Gossip.

[Behelzebub]

It was funny when Zane was ringing up people this morning and waking them up by playing random noises down the phone - Brandon Flowers from The Killers wasn't too impressed at being woken up at 3 in the morning Vegas time...

[IrishBaz]

im really liking Zane's show and of course the return of Judge Jules live on radio 1 as supposed to being on tape with heavy hard music

Well this is the thing, it's so refreshing to hear the DJs live and to hear some live radio on a bank holiday.

[aloha_chicka]

Did anyone else manage to listen to the student award winners from 2am? I was awake so listened in from around 5am. They sounded really good and seemed to be pleased to be on Radio 1.

I also listened to Zane on breakfast. It was funny to hear him say what the various jingles were called before playing them. Shame he didn't get Norman "Fat Boy Slim" Cook on the phone.

"Hallelujah"
