How can you work mon-fri 10-12.45 but not 10-1 on a sunday

She obviously doesn't spend enough time with her family in the week so needs the weekend off. She should be kicked off the weekend slot too, gah i hate pre-recorded shows. Okay if you have an appointment of commitment once but every week? Come on!

Bring back Chappers & Dave!!!

I wonder if because Andy Parfitt isn't around she has taken the p*ss abit and pre-recorded the show.....

If you only has 1 show to do a week and she has to pre-record it, she shouldent be on daytime. If she wants to pre-record it, put her at midnight.

I'm sure Chappers/Dave, Greg, etc would love to do a show live and earn extra money.

Chappers and Dave both have to do five shows a week. It's okay if they choose to have free weekends...that's understandable. In principle I understand everyone who want's to have free weekends, but if it's just one three-hour show you have to do every week you could really do it live.

Is it me or have they stopped doing news on Sunday's? I've not listened much so could be wrong.

Last time I heard the news it was just three minutes of silence because they couldn't cope with a pre-record. It might be wise for them not to bother if it's going to mess up but I am not sure whether they are allowed to do so.

Yeah, they have to do it otherwise they would break format and get another load of sh*t from Ofcom and probably every BBC hater....I think they probably do more than they have to at the moment but they have to do it during peak/daytime hours.

I dont think they have to do it during colins show, but do.

They do it after Colin's show. They have the main 5.45pm bulletin, 6.30 Entertainment then the next bulletin is at 10:00pm.

Amazing to think that a month ago, people were calling for Sara to be made a god. Now she's having time off, she should be sacked.

Don't give me crap about it being 'one show a week that she can't even come in for'. I don't care. She's one of the best DJs on the station and I'm sure will be back properly soon.

It is a bit remarkable. However, I do feel bosses should give her a slot where she can do a live show. It's nowhere near as entertaining when she is slick like during the Lie In.

    • 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.
