Those that are looking for an alternative show or anything like a modern day John Peel will be very disappointed. Those who want someone that is passionate about the music won't find that here either. It's clear the ethos is about playing less playlist but more mainstream than Colin was. I think it's all to do with grabbing the kids listener ship.

The upside of this is that you do get more of a daytime show during the evening which is clearly what they're going for and that I will enjoy. But it will leave a lot of disappointed Radio 1 listeners tuning out and turning to the iPod.

See the thing is I've like all the music so far, loved some of it-but this isn't what I want from a night time show, I want the real alternative. I want stuff that would never be played during the day and so far while we have had stuff which is a bit more edgy, no one would bat an eyelid if any of it turned up on Mills or Whiley etc.

Nah Annie Nightingale has gone too specialist now I think to be honest-don't get me wrong I love her show but she is dedicated the breakbeat stuff from now. Huw or Rob Da Bank were ideal for the show-Huw in particular if they wanted a young guy.

Well Iain's a big fan of Danny's and he's not afraid to admit he nicks a lot of his material from Danny Baker & Tommy Boyd, he does tend to be quite honest about those things though.

Yeah it's an odd mess right now, I think it's like when they had that Apprentice style show on CBBC.

Colin Murray is The Apprentice

Nick Grimshaw is the CBBC equilvalent.

There's also been no structure to the show so far and it just doesn't have that "late night exclusive club" feel

I don't think Chris will rip into Grimmy-even though I bet he would love to. Chris is obviously bothered by the amount of non-DJs on Radio 1-he breifly mentions it in his book but not in any real detail. Obviously if he slagged off Grimmy get in a spot of bother and possibly even lose some of the teeny bopper Grim-Fans which he desperatley needs to cling onto his job.

I hope to God Grimmy doesn't get breakfast-if he gets it over Mills or Greg-I'm gone, plain and simple.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      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.
