im prepared to give Fearne a chance, as it will be a big step up for her & doing a show on your own will be harder that's why i suggested her & Vernon do it together.

she is very enthusiastic & sometimes to over the top, i think she will do ok & i would have had her start next week & do one week on her own so she can get used to it, but i still expect to read the Fearne is rubbish posts :rolleyes:

I listened when Fearne covered for Jo a few mondays back and i think she done a good job. I hope that on her own in a more "grown up" show she might come into her own.

Vernon will just be ace - he is a always a good listen, but im doubtful about NIhal, i just find him so dull.

personally I dont really mind any of the cover DJs individually, but it does really illustrate that they are just 'covering' her show by using such such a bits and pieces approach.

eg Scott when he covers the breakfast show introduces his own themes and ideas to make it his own variation of The Moyles show. With 3 seperate DJs covering as many months Ediths show could be quite interesting!

Im not sure if any of the cover presenters will have time to input their identities into the show...so its unlikely to show them in their best light. I think its a shame they couldnt have used just one person..even if that person was realatively inexperienced, they could have used it to train someone?

personally i think that Fearne should have covered for Jo & Edith more when they have been away over the past few months & had her do all the cover for Edith.

On what grounds? No one knows what she's like covering for Edith.

that's what i mean, if she had covered for Edith as Edith has had a few weeks off this year already, she would have got used to it more and she could have covered all the way through.

i know exactly what will happen after the first show Fearne does, people will start saying how crap she is :x give her a chance :)

you seem to live on cloud nine :* fearne got the stick she got because SHE NEVER TURNED UP!! she can only be credited with doing well on the chart show recently because of the stick she was given when she went off to america every week! :| why do you think a presenter who appeals to 13-15 year olds will suit a slot that appeals to the over 20? :confused:

i don't know.

she knows what she has got to do & they wouldn't have asked her if they didn't think she could do it & she wouldn't have said she would do the show if she didn't think she could, as i have said i'm not keen on the chart show, not because of Fearne, but im going to give her a chance on Edith's show.

I do find it amusing that Fearne and Vern havent actually got set shows after Nihal's stint.

Why? It'll be the summer stuff and festivals. It will be too difficult to keep a DJ on all the time.

Not just that, but i think radio one are having a sly dig at her attendance by not confirming any dates for her or vernon.

A lot of Radio 1's Six Weeks Of Summer events lasts more than just the weekend if they're out of the country. The real Glastonbury and Reading experience begins on a Friday.

I don't really see the problem. They can alternate the weeks.

Oh come on... Can you actually see fearne doing 7 days in a row? Plus, Fearne going abroad? She would still miss shows because she will be shoehorning tv projects on the same weekend.

That's why they're alternating. I assume there's no requirement for Vernon or Fearne to keep up their weekend shows. Reggie is able, and Chappers and Dave or Dick and Dom could cover for Vernon.

Fearne has been on. (Pretty much...) But still, we know what they're like. If she can't commit to 2 weekend shows, what is she going to be like doing 5 days a week? And if she's doing the weekends on top of that, I think it's pretty fair for us to be doubting her.

The way I see it, Radio 1 see they have two good DJ's, both of which are busy with TV work, so they do the thing that makes the most sense, and alternate depending on who is available. They also couldn't let Nihal do the whole thing as working seven days a week for three months is a bit harsh!

What happens if the both can't come in one day?

Nihal would cover I'd imagine.

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
