With the Eurovision song contest coming up in two weeks, does anyone really care where we come or if we'll win. This year sets to be more fair with each country having a panel making up 50% of the votes. Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jade Ewen flying the flag for england...do we really stand a chance?

What are your thoughts?

I can't even remember the song but do seem to remember it being very disappointing. Lloyd Webber will be left with even more of a sour face and we will say it's time to pull out of the contest again once year. Graham Norton won't help either.

The song wasn't very good. Scott should have got the job hosting it. Quite sad that it won't be Terry, he kind of made Eurovision for me. But I will be watching and voting for the UK.

How do Holland do normally?

They usually don't even make it into the actual competition, shame because they are passionate about Eurovision. But they have The Toppers this year. Is going off to You Tube so you can all laugh at what Holland is entering..

They are huge here. National treasures.

I don't think I've even heard the UK entry for this year. Oh well, the quality of the track is irrelevant really, even if it's a masterpiece we won't win because the rest of Europe apparently hates us.

So save the last dance

Not as excited for Eurovision this year. No Terry Wogan is a massive shame and an unreplaceable commodity within the event. Plus, who cares if we win? Doesn't really matter much, and we won't win anyway.

And really, John is right - Eurovision peaked when Lordi won. You'll never top that moment again.

Our Eurovision party rules- each time you get a point you drink that many fingers of drink,

if you get 10 you have to finish your drink, 12 you nominate someone else to finish theirs.

Have been watching the heats, should be a good mixture on Saturday!

Should be good with the other Lord playing piano for Jade too :)

It won't be the same without Terry Wogan.

Tell me about it - it'd be like Ant without Dec!

Most people I know have Eurovision parties, they pick a couple of countries and everytime they get a point they have to down a shot. The ones with UK don't usually get much lol

Hahaha, that game sounds awesome. There should be a mass UM one next year ;)

Bucks Fizz were on Loose Women this morning - I didn't actually know they won!

I'm looking forward to it so much. The Danish song is really good this year . and it made it through the semifinals yesterday.

I know the voting has been very political the recent years, and I don't know how much about this new system and whether it will work or not, but I just want some entertainment. It would be nice if Denmark won, though ;)

We should petition for Scott, Chappers and Becky to do it next year they'd be sooo*breath*oooo good at doing Wogan style comments.

It would be much better than Grherm. (Although i shouldn't make my judgement yet, as if not heard him.)

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      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.

      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.
