And it definitely works, I got 5 shoutouts from Greg using it

lucky for some, I've been sending in loads of messages during the week and to the guys that have been on so far today, and not 1.

I know they probably receive thousands of messages a day, but does anybody else find they hardly ever get read out, if they even get read out at all?

Not impressed with censorship

It depends what DJ you sent it to and whether you're saying anything useful!

well i've tried scott, sara, chappers and dave, vernona and nihal, and almost always been relevant to a feature, topic or something on headcam (in scotts case)

like I said, I know they must get many thousands but I find it very frustrating knowing that I'm using up my texts and seemingly getting no response.

the only 2 times i've ever been shouted out were on nihal when he was doing a whats on your left feature, and edith when i was said my brother was on his way to uni last week

It was just things which we were discussing in your view which related to what was being discussed on the show at the time. This happened before they started saying the posts came from here though and so they were "someone on the text".

Oh right - I thought they might have done that

Woah look! It's DJ Drew!

Well it was Gregs normal slot of 4-6.30, so I'm sure I didn't have much competition on the screen from all the other nutters who were awake. Scott and other in more prime spots have a million times more texts to compete with.

I've had a few texts read out by Greg when i was doing the earlies at work (5:30am start - nearly killed me getting up at 4:30 am!)

Don't you think in this day and age, Radio 1 should be free to text? The short code '81199' costs 10p to text even for those with a text bundle.

I notice on the website that listeners in the Channel Islands, Isle of Man or outside the UK can text +44 (0)7786 201111.

As this is not a short code will it be free for those with a text bundle?

Is this true? I am in the US and wanted to send txts to Radio 1 and I wanted to know if this was true that this will work for people outside the UK.

      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 Schedule Changes

      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.
