Gah, this sounds like a rip-off of Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day... you could sing the words to that over it.

Aaah, thanks! I was wondering what song it reminded me of.

He did describe Scott as 'top Radio 1 DJ' so that's not so bad. I hope Scott gets himself a brolly. If he doesn't though, my dad has a large collection of Evening Standard umbrellas, so they're not that hard to get for free.

I voted for Laura. I'll vote for her every day that I remember to.

The clip from the weather/news, it was really ridiculously quiet on my radio, maybe it's something to do with DAB?

Something to do with the clip being mono. It'll mean clock radios didn't hear it either.

I didn't know Bristol was next to Bath. That's where Barno is. She just messaged me asking why Scott was on about Bath.

Yeah Bath is slightly to the east of Bristol. I'm going to Bristol next week, it's about 10 minutes on the train to get to Bath so I might go there too. Hopefully it won't rain all week.

I wondered why Annie was on the phone earlier. I thought she just couldn't be arsed to pop in to see Laura.

Annie Nightingale in a custard factory at 5am? Gosh, she knows how to enjoy herself.

My sister walks in and says "this song is old, he's only just playing this?". I love how much of a snob she is about her favourite bands.

I'm always like that when they play British music on Danish radio. And when Radio 1 plays Alphabeat.

Miami pool party or Gatecrasher Nottingham.... know where I'd rather be!

I've never been to Gatecrasher because it's apparently a bit s*** and it's not my kind of place at all, but my friends have been.

I felt like that when they started playing Hey There Delilah because I've had it for several years.

I had one of those Evening Standard ones - some impecunious musician or their friend stole it at a gig. I know it was a musician or friend because it was one of those gigs where the unknown bands and their friends are the only ones present.

Had to get soaked walking back into Reading grrr. :x

By the way... Scott's on breakfast on Monday, so we won't be doing Your Views. It's alright when people are up for it, but people will be at work, school, college or university. So I ask that if you're on board that you make a thread about something that takes your interest.

Is he on breakfast for two weeks? I won't be listening then, next week I'm working and after that I have to go to school again.

My dad gives them away to refugees sometimes. That's just my dad though, sometimes he comes home wet because he gave away his umbrella to a homeless person.

No University at the moment, but I'll be in bed so unable to listen to Scott in the morning, as I have difficulty getting up before 10am.

Your dad sounds a truly caring person, I can't be so saintly I'm afraid.

I always listen to breakfast, might make a thread if something makes me laugh or gasp. :)

Loving what I can hear of the Wonder Years at the moment.

Sadly it's not that long since I last heard this. It's a favourite of student club nights. While I have managed to not go to the kind of clubs that play it for a while, it's been played in bars as well and it's played every time I go to one of the mainstream student club nights. Just makes me think of my housemate's cringeworthy dancing.

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • 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.
