The RAJARs are never ideal ways of recording listeners figures. Most people take them with a pinch of salt, and I'm pretty sure Moyles' team will be saying that a lot this quarter ;)

"The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 has 7.21 million listeners - down from 7.26 million last year and a record 7.72 million last quarter. But a Radio 1 spokeswoman insisted "we're not concerned at all", and said up until this point Chris's ratings had increased for six quarters.

Radio 1's audience also dropped back - to 10.6 million listeners - after a quarter in which it broke the 11 million barrier for the first time since 2001. It lost 383,000 listeners, a 3.5% quarterly decline and 1.7% down on the same period last year."

There are two types of data. One that analyses the figures against last year's figures, and one that analyses them up against the last quarter. The last quarter is the most disappointing, but it's not so bad up against this time last year.

What seems rather damaging is that Radio 1's figures have gone DOWN during it's biggest radio event of the year - Radio 1's Big Weekend. Surely you'll have all of those Maidstone listeners tuning in? Let's not forget that the Under 15s aren't included in listening figures, though.

Personally I'm one of those disappearing listeners. I haven't properly caught his show for more than five minutes since his birthday programme. It will presumably all change when I'm at university in September.

I haven't listened in a good six weeks, and I don't really have a reason for that. Perhaps we've all got temporarily amnesia when it comes to listening to Radio One between 6.30 and 10.00.

I listened to Scott in the mornings though.

See, this is why they should be ditching Made Up News, it's a crap feature and pulls the entire show down...

Having said that the rest of it's usually pretty funny, I enjoyed listening to them playing Rock Band this morning, haha. I'm sure this is just a temporary lull in listening figures.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

I don't mind Made Up News personally, but I would fancy having Buzz Off come back in place of that, but then again that'll be recycling old ideas and not showing any imagination into the show etc. :confused:

I think he talks far too much, I know that his show is mostly talk and a few tracks but recently he has gone over the top. today he was telling aled what to say for nearly 20 minutes and it becomes boring after 5, and yesterday all he kept talking about was youtube when I'm sure everyone has been on youtube before.

It's the shows with JLC which are lively which are the best, the ones where he just keeps going on like a broken record are the ones losing listeners in my opinion.

i think the figures are a load of BS, however they figure out the numbers it cant take into account how many people all listen to the same radio, for example at my work we have a radio plugged into the tannoy system from 6 till 9ish, but it can vary from 3 to about 10 all over the shop hearing it

Not impressed with censorship

do you get approached to do one of their diaries or can you apply to do one. i think i would quite like to do somethig that i think would help the sucess of radio 1

You get approached to do it from an individual body. Obviously the radio stations have no say in it or the listener figures would be biased.

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      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.

      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.
