Laura is doing Grimmy? (So to speak)

Did everyone hear the trails this morning? Think this is going to sound very different to Colin Murray´s show. More Switchy if you get my drift.

Certainly the end of alternative classics on late nights :(

Maybe ratings have proven that there's a lot of kids tuned in. I dare say Colin had a massive following of adults but perhaps they saw a market for the younger audience there and wanted to exploit it. It must be true as they'd not move one of their hottest properties there if not. You can't blame them for trying with these strange strategies.

Colin was very good and it's going to be very sad to see him go. He was a good listen but at the same time I felt he wasn't mainstream enough for my liking. The music was good and there were treats. But I'd happily listen to local radio instead because I felt the music wasn't always strong.

If Grimmy can change the music style a bit I'll be impressed. He's going to have to do a Reggie to keep me tuned in though - mellowing himself out for a different audience.

Yeah the trail makes me laugh too, daft Grimmy! I think that he will be fine, of course the die hard Murray fans won't like him at first but it's not like he has chucked Colin out of the slot.

Grimmy should be fine once he's found his feet

Grimmy wil be really good, as for being Swithy - he does actually present switch so...?

Anyway, I never really listened to Colin but will defo be listening to Grimmy next week!

As for the trailer, the script goes something like this.

"We challenged you to wake up with Moyles,"

Clip of Moyles "Good Morning,...etc,"

"Which you did in your millions. Then, we challenged you to get home with Mills"

Clip of Mills, "Its amazing, this is where some dancing could happen!"

"Now, we ask you, all politely and stuff, to stay up with Grimshaw."

Clip of Grimmy, "Look, my crisp packet Matches my coat!"

I absolutely fell out of my bed laughing!!

'Ey Up, What's Occurrin'?

So laura and Natasha are going to swap production roles, Laura to evenings and Natasha to the chart show. Will Rachel stay as co-producer?

Goodbye to Colin and good luck to Grimmy in his new evening slot! Im sure he will be fine, but as I personally dont like his voice or weekend show I dont think Ill carry on listening to evenings!

I predict it will be difficult for Grimmy as Colin's audience were so varied, and Colin has such a strong charismatic personality that he will be missed. Just think of the negative criticism Edith recieved when he left that show! At least Grimmy will be totally different, but he might have to totally reestablish an audience almost from scratch.

Laura will be assistant producer so it seems like there's more changes than just that.

    • 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.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
