who cares what agents think, they can be fired scott cant they!...

i don't think this site could do anything more to get any bigger now really, it's come a long way from the days of the poll on the homepage.

on the grid.

I think its very well recognised on radio one. I have heard Jono mentioned by scott mills and even more by chappers.

To me UM is the unofficial radio one forum. I am really more of a fan of chris Moyles. But I come here because I don't like the chrismoyles.net site

To me its not really a fan site. I am not a fan of scott mills in that way. I am more of a fan of radio one generally. I like the playlist. A few years ago I disliked the playlist and often turned off(even when I like the djs).

yes i agree, for me it's so much more than just a fansite for scott mills. chrismoyles.net don't like talking about other djs, and the bbc message boards couldn't take criticism so closed. this is THE radio 1 fansite for me and also allows me to talk about scott. i also like that it is an off topic forum for youthful feeling people :D

I would imagine that it, amongst CM.net and whatnot, are probably visited at least on a daily basis by a fair few people at R1. They seem pretty net-savvy these days and probably stay on top of the hardcore-fan feedback (especially if it's talking about them). I know that were I on R1, I'd scour high and low to read about myself :P

Mind you, the plugs from Scott probably don't hurt either.

The BBC forums are still around, they're just not promoted as much and have a different audience.

I prefer UM to ChrisMoyles.net too. People think that we complain too much here? Well, they haven't seen the language and criticism used there everyday. And plus, wasn't it until recently that Chris started to say nice stuff about his site?

Oh yeah, a lot of the DJs, producers, and probably even Newsbeat are always lurking around. My favorite thing to do is just reload the webcam on every show waiting for UM to pop up on one of them.

i find it funny a lot of radio 1 djs and workers avoid the message boards as they're honest. yet they have a text and email system surely it's going to be no worse than reading them? :confused:

I'd bet that most people who spend money on texting the show are a little more sycophantic than message board members are, especially since message board users (especially on respected sites like this, which promotes intelligence and a fairly web-savvy style of posting) are usually the more in-tune fan who are interested in the inner-workings and such.

It might be a push of a comparison, but as a wrestling fan, it's the best I can do - wrestlers love fans in the audience, but they hate internet message board fans who discuss it because those on the board know all the backstage stuff and are more critical. Same principle here.

i noticed on chrismoyles.net there is someone working for the bbc interviewing about fansites and how they can play an important role with radio shows. :) it's funny the bbc considers them all so important but i fear their research will mean the bbc will want to set up their own forums again rather than working with unofficial projects :(

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      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.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      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
