The Lie In with Sara Cox


Viv

Recommended Posts

Sara Cox will be doing the lie-in and the Sunday Shuffle from next Sunday, March

1st 2009, and she's looking for people to participate in her Show!

There are 2 forms on her homepage: one for the lie-in (if you wish a shout out for a special occasion, or whatever), and the second form for the Shuffle, where you have to pick a song from 10 possibilities!!

I've filled in the Shuffle form, as I've always wanted to take part in this!!

I only heard the first 20 minutes, but thought it was odd the webcams were switched off. Was it that noticeable?

No because she uses pre-recorded callers. It was smoother than the other shows in the sense that the callers were used throughout but if it's pre-recorded it ends the fun spontaneity element of the show. It's more than likely it's just until she gets used to a new format. I can only hope so.

She wants to spend time with her family at the weekend is what I was told, and thats why it gets pre-recorded.

Which is what makes me think she'll be after a weekday slot or nothing come the reshuffle. Strange though, she was quite happy to ditch afternoons for weekends when Lóla was born. Public perception of Sara has changed in recent years though - she was a lot less popular in her breakfast and afternoons era in my opinion.

haha love the icon popping up there!

She is better in small doses, small as in maybe 5 mins to me lol. Seems daft though having a Sunday show when you have no intentions of actually being there.

God, I knew something was up ... and what happened to the 1030 news?

There was no news at all! I like Newsbeat and don't think it should be missed. In fact if it was up to me the 12:45 one would go out on Saturday's as well but that's for another topic.

I do hope in future it's not pre recorded. I like Sara, I like the Lie in, yet Coxy is better suited to a week day slot and The Lie in should be live. She is wasted in that slot.

Nah, looks like it'll be pre-recorded again this week. Fergus mentions he's prepping for the show today.

I can't help but feel they've just thought "shove her on there for a few months, at least we'll have some cover" and then plan to move her in September. Questions for everyone, do you think she should cover for Scott if he is off and do you think there will be news this week in Sara's show.

    • 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.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
    • Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable. 
    • It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html  
    • I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown
    • The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.
