Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

[Shaunmorgan]

Im gutted that Dave leaves radio 1, his show was awesome. What do you guys think?

I think this thread should be a tribute to Dave and the Dance Anthems!

[Rob]

Someone has to make way for the new DJs (i.e. Dave Spoon), they've got to have their turn as well. It's a shame but it's got to happen.

[Jono]

It's a shame as it's only the last few years I've taken a listen to Dance Anthems. Straight after the chart show with JK and Joel was great. Kept me listening to Radio 1 for most of Sunday night.

I catch a little bit when I'm coming home after work on a Friday night. It's going to be a huge loss to Radio 1 when it finally goes. Where else do you get to hear all the classic dance tracks?

Meh, I meant in reference to Radio 1's schedule. They may have new DJs, but none will fill that gap.

the stupid move radio 1 bosses made last year has caused this. he was moved from sunday nights where there was nothing wrong with the show there, and this bbc switch stuff is on now which frankly isn't half as good and is dying on it's arse.

i said last year that all these moves would stop me listening to radio 1 as much as i used to, and it's true becuase i now switch between galaxy and kiss mostly these days in my car. i'll miss dave pearce, it's not the way someone should leave radio 1 after so many years, ousted into the middle of the night. i'll listen to his new show wherever that may be, and i expect radio 1 to replace it with some show promoting the stuff they playlist all day.

[matt_32510]

I remember when Dave done Late Drive (6pm-8pm), that was a good show as well with a 30 minute mix at the end of the show, shows he can do daytime and specialist.

I agree with DC about moving it from Sunday's and to replace it with that idiot Grimmy. Still I bet Kiss got a load of extra listeners out of it.

switch is a bit poor...

[DC]

i don't even know who grimmy is to be honest, where the hell did he come from? does anyone even care?

i'd like dave pearce to move to galaxy or something they would give him a proper timeslot as well, but i think he will take a break from radio and concentrate on clubs. his drive shows were pretty good to be honest, if i remember he used to have mixes that lasted around 25 mins. dance music to begin with but it got mixed by computers later on. i bet dave's replacement will be comical to say the least, some camp sounding fool who will play lots of scooter and cascada probably. judge jules is moving into the old dance anthems slot btw.

It does look like he was pushed. It's not the end of Dave though. His website currently says:

"Due to contractual obligations, details of Pearce’s new radio slot cannot currently be made public. A further announcement will be made to media over the coming weeks"

I imagine they'd have said if he was going to Radio 2 though.

[DC]

if he was moving within the bbc then i imagine that they would say where he was off to. i just don't think radio 2 is ready for dave pearce to get his trance trousers on to be honest, maybe another 7 or 8 years. it's one extreme to the other, the same station that has terry wogan on playing the beatles could be playing underworld's born slippy, it just dosen't look right.

i think he'll end up at galaxy or kiss, or at least a station that will appreciate him more.

[slovakian tony]

I remember years ago when dave started with kiss in holloway in london years ago, great he was then and still is, his stint with radio 1 lasted longer than i ever expected it'll be something he'll look back on with pride even tho the circumstances of him leaving seem dubious .

[unclesirbobbyrobson]

Dave pearce = legend

I heard the news as well. He will be sorely missed. My favorite trance DJ. My favorite dj full stop. Whoever replaces him will not be as good. Where is he going

[DC]

i think there is a very good chance that he will probably go back to kiss in london, thankfully i have a dab radio in my car.

Lets start a petition, DP back on a sunday evening and Switch to be bumped off, who's on board with me?

i wish that could happen but radio 1 seem to have a habbit of ignoring listeners views. switch is probably the greatest thing since the invention of the internet to hear them speak.

when does dave finish anyway? i've been recording the shows, but i have yet the chance to catch up. you see, i don't want to record the 'replacement' show by accident and get things mixed up.

[Chops]

I think there is someone high up at radio 1 who has a hidden agenda. If you look at the radio 2 evening schedule it has loads of djs like dave for there respective fields. Steve lamaque, Trevor nelson, It won't be long before Sara Cox, Scott Mills and Vernon Kay find themselves moved.

"I’ll be leaving Radio 1 after 13 years on Friday 26 September. A week later I will be on air at my new station which will be announced soon."

Score!

[DC]

so he's starting up his own radio station it seems, best of luck to him. although if it's just online it's a bit of a nightmare if you like to listen in the car like i do.
