If you were wondering why the webcams were zoomed in, well here's why... just like Scott's show they've recorded Chris' show and put the highlights online.

A nice idea, but shame it wasn't something a bit more original than a video of 'Aled's electric shock game'. A little too Scott Mills for my liking which is what I feared... Scott's show is all about these visual gags, Chris' isn't.

chris has been sounding unoriginal lately. his ting tings remix was jumping on the bandwagon after scott put together his yo gabba gabba remix. this should have been the next step after scott's tv show :(

I don't think I like it. It's too much like Scott's TV show and video material. Chris is more spontaneous, and his show should be branching out elsewhere. Scott's TV show worked because he had all of these prepared features to put out for video and it suits his radio show, Chris isn't about that. It looks like they've tried too hard.

Haven't seen it yet but I've often wondered what the appeal to non fanatics would be? Radio is radio and TV is tv. Statement from the department of the bleeding obvious there.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Is there any way for us who don't live in the U.K. to watch it? Maybe post it on YouTube? I'd really love to see it!

Move to the UK and pay your license fee!

I'm watching them now. I love seeing their expressions to things that they do, like Aled jumping up and down while holding the electric shocker.

Highlights of the highlights?!

As in, the video on the website was about five minutes longer.

Yes, it's good for a little while, but I don't think I'd like it permanently actually.

I've posted this on another forum, but this needs a ton of work. I'm too used to the quality of Howard Stern's TV show and this just comes off as so weak in comparison. It's emphasised more with the lack of natural camera presence from everyone bar Dom, who himself is annoying due to his NONSTOP looking at the screen to see himself. Everyone else seem to have forgotten that the point of seeing radio visually (which in effect just makes it a TV show) is that you can no longer get away with the "theatre of the mind" mantra. If your voice sounds excited, your face has to show it too. Chris, Dave and Carrie don't understand this, apparently.

But I rant too much.

What you have to remember is, your audience that are watching these videos are going to be considerably less than your radio audience. You can't just stop mid-link to smile at the camera or mess with the radio format to please the video format. I'm not sure how Howard Stern does his stuff, but Scott's show seemed to work when it was on BBC Three. He wasn't always looking at the camera, but there were visual gags to keep the viewer happy.

Maybe I'm getting the complete wrong idea, but I didn't think the idea of this was to make it a TV show, it's to show people what actually happens during the radio show. If everyone started acting up for the cameras, it wouldn't be natural, and would almost defeat the point of the cameras being there.

I never said they should "play to the camera". In fact, that's the worst thing they can do because that makes it a vanity project. But the point of the video, as far as I'm aware, is to provide an advancement to the experience of the show and at least in my personal opinion (and nothing more), seeing dull reactions with upbeat voices ruins the show. When you listen, you develop a certain imagery and they don't act anything like how they sound, which renders the entire point of being visual pointless because it only takes away instead of adding. There's a difference between being natural and being bored.

I didn't even like the Scott Mills show that much (though it certainly wasn't bad), but at least, as said, a lot of their content is quite visual and they played it up to the cameras without playing it up, if that makes sense. They were excited, smiley and natural without constantly staring at or mentioning the cameras and staring at the screens at themselves so that it took over from the radio content. It's really hard to explain what my problem with the Moyles experiment is in a few sentences without confusing anyone, but I just think that they, at least in the early going, put too much emphasis on the cameras without putting any emphasis on showing real emotion. I also don't like the compact studio and camera angles, but that's just aesthetic.

For reference, go to Youtube and search "paul mccartney stern" - second video down. Notice they don't act to the cameras either, but develop content that works for both mediums in entertaining ways.

Wasnt the whole point of the video streams to show another element of the show and show the listener/viewer what goes on in the studio which means showing what everyone is doing to put the show in the air. In the Moyles stream all they did was show everyones faces just talking and during a record put up random blurred pictures. this was similar with Scotts BBC3 thing however the normal webcams were used more. For me the est. 1967 day streams were better becuase at least you werent sat with a close up shot, watching Coxy stuff her self with cheese and onion crisps (which she was doing) because they were using the normal webcams. i want more use of the webcams to show everything.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
