Have Your Say on Radio 1

How strange..I have never considered any of the above as providing a service specifically for children or younger viewers! They are nothing like the programmes BBC put on in traditional early evening childrens programmes!

Switch is aimed at the younger market though, but as you said what service does it provide other than the surgery

I'm not expert on switch but I've listened to Grimmy and he is trying to appeal to teenagers I think with confuse the teacher feature and stuff.

I know Switch is aimed at teenagers but what I meant was what SERVICE does switch with Annie & Nick provide other than entertainment

The same service as most of the other radio stuff. It may not seem like a service but it's little different to Radio 2 or the rest of Radio 1.

well I'd like to see Switch and BBC3 binned, nobody I've spoken to understands what the purpose is in Switch, its like they tried to make a new format of entertainment by grabbing both the radio and tv audiences but made a real mess of it, much like they did with the chart show. lets put it all back to how it was before..... bin fern and reggie, get JK and Joel back, bin switch and get dance anthems back on. I'm pretty sure that would regain lost listeners and attract new ones.

Just look at the rubbish thats on BBC3, there really is no justification in that channel, put the real hustle on dave and just never speak of the rest again

I think Jono said at some point in the case of Fearne & Reggies ratings were up

I understand Switch is a little different to the rest of radio as Jono pointed out. I think if we knew more about what they were exactly looking we would be able to comment easier (it think) :confused:

There are some good shows on BBC3, however I think that most are not suitable for a younger audience, I'm not sure what they provide for "the kids". There's no reason those shows couldn't be moved back to their natural home on BBC2 though, as I think the quality of programming on BBC2 has gone a bit downhill.

Personally I'd like the whole of Radio1 to become more like Switch especially the daytime playlist.

that thought strikes the fear of god into me, whenever I think of Switch I get images of the sort of people that appear in Skins and indie kids, that half wit waste of space grimshaw really doesnt help. Its absolutely the wrong way for the BBC to be heading

if that were to happen, then they would pretty much lose anyone over the age of 18 :P

the good thing about radio 1 is how wide a group it caters for, I mean, 13 - 29 is the supposed Target Group, and include probably the single most musically diverse age group out there. the fact that they can entertain most people in this group with only minor complaints (from what I've seen), is truly astounding.

However, this BBC Trust Survey I'm doing is a flipping essay! >_< all for a good cause though :D

Has anyone off of UM contributed to this yet?

I have, but unfortunately feel my responses won't count for much as I'm not a "young listener". I was also most put out that I had to plonk myself in the really rather large "35 to 54" age bracket. Somewhat ageist in my opinion. Ooooh, I feel a complaint to OFCOM coming on...

I sent one off a while ago, but I really hope they don't change Radio 1, I think it's kinda fine the way it is :)

    • Nikita Kanda is covering the weekend mid afternoon slot a few times over the next few weeks, as is Ore.
    • No sign of James Cusack at Big Weekend. Ore Olukoga and Nikita Kanda were there. Will they be part of the weekend line-up over summer? Even Joel Mitchell and Tinea Taylor made it. 
    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
