Unlike last time so far there is no video best bits & no mention at all of Chris being in video on his page or the homepage :confused:

Well, there's a big image and link during the show to the console. It's not so much important having lots of stuff about it when the console isn't live.

Yes but last time as I said they were advertising some highlight clips and he fact that the show is in video every morning

EDIT: when is Zane going to be in video??

Personally, I'd like for Zane's show, for the Now Playing module to be on the right, with Studio Cam on the time. For one, background stuff is mildly interesting, but also to see him mixing (nice decks angle!) and playing clips etc. Though it's nice to see some more interesting camera angles.

Also, as Zane plays a bit of a record, then starts talking again, then plays more, it feels weird it either being on Now Playing when you hear him or constantly cutting back and forth between them.

Oh, and on the Now Playing thing, it'd be interesting to see if the system could also load up a relevant image/link for promos such as for Moyles or the endless Switch ones.

The problem with the Show Info thing is that it's not something that we particularly need to see all the time: maybe that could be more of a ticker module, like the BBC News/Weather can be loaded up as (something that was seen in the 5live usage, or if people played with the debug console when it was up).

I watched about ten minutes of Moyles this morning and became bored extremely quickly. It was really off-putting and added nothing.

Moreover, the bit I watched was the team talking about Matt Fincham singing to himself in the office, which had Aled doing hand movements and the team picking up on it. I listened back to the show on the iPlayer and that bit SOUNDED so much better than it actually looked. And either Dom is no good with cameras, or he's just generally the most awkward person I may have ever seen.

I'm not going to be getting up to watch this again. Shock horror, the Chris Moyles RADIO show is a lot better when you LISTEN to it, so I'm just going to completely ignore the visual element and stick to using the Listen Again feature.

I just think it'll be more appreciated during the day. It certainly takes something away from Moyles' show. I think it might add to Mills' a bit because he does a lot of video stuff. But I'm not that keen on it.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
