I'm quite enjoying things as they are at the moment. Sara on Jo's show is really good and i've even grown to like Fearne Cotton in the afternoon!

I like Fearne but in moderate doses, I find she is a little over-peppy. I'd rather have Nihal on, or at least have Fearne and Nihal rotate. I know Nihal has been worked to death recently but I think he is a seriously skilled DJ being able to appeal to both the mainstream and his specialist audience and I'd like to see mroe of him.

Why on the schedule on the R1 pages has Jo's show been replaced by Sara Cox's name, when Edith's show still has her name up with people covering in small letters underneath? I dont understand.

I think it will be interesting to have Edith back on daytimes, I hope she comes back with a burst of energy and tries to make her show different to before.

She was crap on it, She kept on going on about which film all the songs were from which ruined it for me really.

"Blah blah blah... from the film blah..."

"Shush woman, i am severly hungover and you're irritating"

Her voice has started to annoy me aswell, and i have a feeling that when she goes back to daytimes next week, She's gonna do a Coxy and not shut up about the little one.

Fearne has really suprised me whilst covering for edith, i really enjoy her shows at the moment.

I take it you won't be voting for her in my poll then.

Oddly enough, I get that same feeling. Don't do it, Edith.

I enjoyed Edith on the lie-in, I thought she suited it better than daytime.

All of Edith's cover were great - Nihal really used the summer to shine through with his devotion to Radio 1, and Fearne has become strangely likeable in the past month or two. It's weird how once these double acts get split up they become a great listen (Nick Grimshaw and Fearne).

She would be good at the weekend, just not on the lie in.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks that lol, I think Radio 1 is starting to sound really good. Sara is sounding good on mornings too.

I like it when Sara talks about her family, it makes her human..more like a mate you are listening to...than a total stranger.

at the moment, on the radio shes sounding genuinely excited about meeting James Bond,

So I wouldnt mind if Edith did mention her son or boyfriend or family. But I doubt if she will, she seems to seperate her private and professional life into seperate compartments.

I'm not a Fearne Cotton fan, but Sara is a real darkhorse for radio presenting - creeps up on you and catches you by surprise with her talents. Radio One's answer to Lauren Laverne (if not vice versa).

As for Edith, I don't like her show at all. But then I'm usually listening to Moyles on Listen Again around the time of her show, so it's no loss.

      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.
