I guess this confirms why Dave Pearce went from Radio 1 writing to his blog:

Obviously, it is a sad day for me leaving Radio 1 after all these years. They have been good times, but it always struck me as a little odd doing a dance show when everyone was out clubbing.

He also talks about an exciting new project and 6Music:

I am very glad to be returning to Sunday nights on BBC 6 Music from Sunday 5 October with a brand new Dance Anthems. You can catch the show via DAB Digital Radio, Digital TV (Sky 0120, Freeview 707, Freesat 707, Virgin 909), and online at www.bbc.co.uk/6music. I am keen to know what tracks you would like to hear, as we will be playing music from the last 20 years of clubbing, so please do send in your suggestions via [email protected].
I am also working on another very exciting project, which is currently a secret, but all will be revealed next week so watch this space!

Dave's last show is current airing right now on Radio 1.

i recorded the final show, i'll put it with the load of others i have from over the years. radio 1 has killed of another one of it's best shows, everything has to end but i think it's a shame dave was forced into the dark like this after all the years of service. i for one will be catching his new show on 6music, that's time that could of been spent listening to radio 1 but i prefer to tune into another station at that time now. the bosses need to consider that for every show on the station.

They should let dick and dom take his place. that'd be interesting.

yeesss. becuase everything at radio 1 has always run around fearne and reggie, zane lowe, dick & dom and edith bowman.

on the grid.

He left Radio 1 at the top. It was a stupid slot for him - playing when everyone is clubbing.

I think a 9 PM slot would be better for him. Why do they put Annie Mac on with drum and bass. I hate that stuff and to me its not really fitting in with the dance music evening. Isn't it more urban than anything else. Surely it would be better to have some techno on? I don't like That but at least recognizably dance music.

Daves a great DJ and I feel a real sense of sadness as he is going. To me he was the best DJ on radio one. His playlists were always great all the way through. Personally I prefer scott mills(!!!!) to Pete Tong. The Floor fillers hour on fridays is a great start off.

At least I will be able to still listen to him as I have got a DAB radio. But why let someone go who is the best.

Best dave pearce moment - when he took us into the new millenium in 2000. Taped that show. Wish I still had it now.

I never listened to his shows on a friday night, usually because I was doing other things, but his shows on a sunday were great for listening to when driving around in the evening.

Many of us on here must remember him on in the evenings after moyles playing popular/playlist songs not just dance tracks and those shows weer great as well, generally an all round brilliant DJ and mainstream radio presenter.

Obviously there comes a time when every DJ has to move on, but I think his time came far far to soon, unlike certain others whose departure cant come soon enough ;)

Its such an insult to him. Pushing him onto radio six(never ever listened to it). Over there years there have been some farcical things happening. In the era of Dave Lee Travis DJ's just wouldn't leave. It all ended badly.

But why dave Pearce. He is so popular. So much at the top of his game.

I suppose it could be worse. radio two would have been too much of an insult.

Hi everyone, long time listener to Scott and reader of these forums, but first time posting!

I did love Dance Anthems too. Preferred it on a Sunday usually for driving home after a weekend away. Fridays have struggled to listen as I'm often out. Hopefully it will remain in the same format on 6music?

Thought his last show was one of the best thou!

i recorded the final show, i'll put it with the load of others i have from over the years.

Do you post/host these anywhere online? I'd love to be able to still listen to it when it runs out on the iPlayer. Thanks if you can help!

Hi oli welcome to unofficial mills. I think this station is going down the pan! If Scott leaves (is pushed) it will be the end of radio 1. JK and Joel, dick and Dom, dave pierce, radio 1 is becoming a bigger version of 1xtra

I'd be very surpirsed if Scott was pushed out of R1. It wouldn't bother me if he did, I'd listen to him no matter what station he was on.

I don't really think by that statement it says that he was unhappy at radio 1. I think it just shows that he didn't really think it was a good idea to put him on at that kind of time in the week. It really wasn't the best time to put a dance show on the radio.

Woah look! It's DJ Drew!

Please tell me you're not saying Dick and Dom should still be on radio 1? Dave is a legend, and while JK & Joel were a little cheesy at times I think they still had a lot of radio1 life left in them.

I hope I've misinterpreted what you said. because if not, including D&D in the same catergory as DP is even more of an insult than what Radio 1 did to him :P

I really don't see Scott being pushed out of R1. And I am struggling to think of opportunities for him that would be better than where he is at the moment.

Def not a fan of Dick and Dom, JK and Joel were OK on weekends but I never used to like them covering for Scott. However, I do pretty much like the complete lineup as it is at the moment (well daytimes and weekends when I actually listen!)

      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.
