why is it an insider at broadcasting house- not yalding house?

and it says they want "new blood/ young talent" so why are they contacting scott mills (he's 42!!). However i hope scott gets the post, greg james did not suit breakfast.

Scott 42!? :confused:

Also we could do with Aled commenting but I think he would not be in a position to comment

If this is yet another load of crap, then the Sun have really got out of hand this time!! Rumours, rumours all the time. If R1 let Moyles go, then they are making a big mistake, because he's a popular, fun guy, a pleasure to listen to most of the time! :-)

Shame on you, Sun.

all i can see is ratings falling through the floor.

.

Seconded.

I seem to recall Moyles commented he'd not heard from his friend Gordon Smart recently on the show this week... bet he regrets that ;)

Either it's a slow news day or Newsbeat seem pretty confident carrying the response from Radio 1 that the story isn't true.

Or because the BBC are being defensive because they are worried.

I'm sort of hoping that Aled will come on here sometime today, and maybe give an explanaton, that is if there is anything to explain

I said this earlier but my guess is maybe in the interests of the bbc its not his position to comment

I've spoken to Ben Cooper this morning (Deputy Controller) and Caren Davies (Head Of Press) and this story isn't true.

Will Chris and the team be moved after Septemeber - yes of course - but that could be December, next year, 2 years. Ben and Andy haven't decided what's happening to the show, because at the moment there's no need to decide.

Terry Wogan though has been presenting Radio 2's breakfast show for 16 years. So there's no cap in how long someone can present the breakfast show.

The writer of the piece was Gordon Smart who is the Sun journalist who had his piece ripped apart on the show a couple of weeks ago when he wrote the piece about how great Scott had done at the Sony's whereas Chris "only" got one - for Best Breakfast, when in reality both had receieved one Sony nomination.

It is also true that if Chris isn't doing breakfast Scott is. That's not press worthy - it's been true since January 2004 - and everyone at Radio 1, not just Scott is aware of this.

I'm sorry you as fans, and we as a team who love making the show are getting dragged in to journalistic agendas.

Roll on September when we will become the longest breakfast show in Radio 1 history!

Right then. I'm moving to America, or Perhaps Canada, Cos I'm sick of living in a where the Population of Village idiots is actually higher than the Population of normals, and where Newspapers have been allowed to start printing loads of baseless opinionated crap. Which of course, the large majority of morons seem to lap up.

Yeah... I hear Canada is nice at this time of year...

Rant. DONE.

just read the teletext on the moyles thing, they don't deny a re-shuffle but i don't know where this would hapen apart from vernon and coxy on the weekend,we now know moyles is safe thanx to aled for clearing that up, whiley is safe as when she interviewed david tennant i'm pretty sure she mentioned doing another christmas day special with him.

if another shuffle is due it has to start at the top with parfitt and cooper,in the same way matthew bannister took over radio 1 an outsider with new and fresh ideas,as there are a lot of djs who are to comfortable in their jobs,shake up at the top is what is needed.

off to cardiff now to support spillers records in record shop day.

    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
