Dave was sitting in for Nick Grimshaw this morning in which is sure to be one of the first time he's presented a show on his own. Greg said he will be presenting the show tomorrow morning if Grimmy isn't any better by then.

Wow, didnt realise Dave was on. I hope its on the IPlayer!

Didnt think Dave could drive the desk nowadays ( i know he used to be a tech op) so would be interesting....

EDIT - Just listening to his first few links from today and it sounds good, he went into DJ mode in a few places :D

I listened back to it and it sounded as if he has done it himself because he flowed with it very well etc....and when he stopped talking you heard him move the fader up but as i said before i dident think he did control desks normally.....

You'd think Greg would be getting quite sick of it by now, they work him like a dog :(
I listened to the first half of the show on iplayer, and he did say he got the phone call and was like, here we go again... He sounds like he wants to get back to his own show!!

Greg appears to be by far the most enthusiastic DJ, he'll enjoy filling in but anyone would be becoming tired by now. He will be impressing the bosses though, despite the sheer quantity of shows he's been doing recently his standard hasn't dropped.

Im glad they rung Greg instead. I dont mind Annie but she gets abit annoying after a while......

I prefer Greg too, I was just thinking of other alternatives if they wanted to give Greg a break.

Oh yeah, I completely agree, and he'll take on everything he can manage because he wants to impress and he's enjoying it. He's still very much the new boy, every extra show he takes on, the more people hear him.

I hope he keeps going and eventually kicks out Jo Whiley! Daytimes would be slightly more interesting then.......If they also got someone else in for Edith that would make the whole of radio 1 listenable in the daytime.

Could you imagine Greg doing the water game with everyone in the live lounge? Would be most amusing :giggle:

      I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.

      I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.

      I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.

      Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok?

      I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.

      Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.

      These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!

      Probably got fed up of the usual moaning bastards all over it, asking for Ken Bruce and Jimmy Young back on air.

      Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national.

      Although a lot of their target audience do seem to be moving across to Instagram now.

      I suppose it's because not a lot of people use Twitter (or X) so maybe it's not worth their time, surprised about Facebook though.

      Surprised to learn Radio 2 and 6 Music are moving away from X and Facebook, I would have thought there's more appeal in Radio 1 doing that instead. Their target audiences still use Facebook, and it's still a key way to reach a good mix of audiences. Agree about X though, don't see any need for it. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2024/05/bbc-radio-2-and-6-music-quit-facebook-and-x-publishing/

      Big Weekend Competition

      Just wondering…has any DJ got the answer wrong yet? I’ve not heard one and they are pretty tough questions! 😆

      Danny Beard on weekend afternoons

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      On the weekends theme @Bluestraw said this in the chatbox but I was listening live to James cusack's show yesterday and agree it would be a travesty if he doesn't feature in the weekend plans. Both the greg james fb page and users on digital spy are saying similar. Imagine that, being both part of the LGBTQ+ community but able to appreciate good presenters in 2024.
