The big question of course is how long it'll be before the podcast stuff is updated - we had Louis (my favourite by far) for ages after, and the females too.

Becky the old old female vo is still on some of them!

Not necessarily. They had some very cool sounding sung jingles around ten years ago. They don't always have to sound 80s..

Sung jingles are old-school now and not with the current imaging scene....not that what Radio 1 are doing now is 'with the scene.

Don't look back, always look forward.

Yes, they don't always have to sound 80's but they wouldn't sound right on Radio 1 at the moment, there would be no real need for them.

It's impressive that Moyles manages to have sung jingles which sounds up to date, but I think that partially comes from just the whole fantastic Music 4 package. And is so catchy.

They have gone very very bland now and lost the spark that R1 had always had....It just seems to be pitch bend after pitch bend with echo.....Zzzzz

I can see what you're saying... in the montage posted on here, it's the ones with the effects that sound a bit eugh.

Oh god, I just heard an awful BBC slowed down from him when listening to iPlayer... and the news has caught me off, I've got too used to mentally going "Digital, FM, Online, This, is radio 1". The BBC ruins the pace. I'll get over being stupid though. :P

Also, could it just be coincidence that Holly from Maidstone (do we know the actual artists name, or is it Holly?) seems to have had a lot of only-her voiceovers recently, or at least, appeared to be the primary voice.

I think that's to make the change over between male voiceovers more subtle. Just heard Jody on one of Nihals beds.

I wish Radio 1 would bring back sung jingles.

Please god no.

I like the new chap. Seems to be good, I never quite got used to the other chap. The best one was the Scotish guy from a few years ago (who we recently heard again on the emergency tape!). I wonder whether we'll have some

The Chris Moyles Show (Guitary bit) BBC Radio 1.

Probably. That would work very very very easily. I can even hear the tune in my head already, it wouldn't change much but the notes for 'international' would be shorted and sped up.

Although during breakfast they are international.....So may decide to leave it in.

ha -- you guys are amazing. i was googling 'jody latham' (had never heard of him, being off of america here) after hearing the e-mail in Dear Scott last week. and here you fill me in on news before i know it.

most people don't care about station imaging/voiceovers, but for those of us who do listen for such things, changes can be grating on the senses.

i loved the latham/holly combo -- how good did it sound with the two of them in the 1tros? seriously -- hot. and the 'digital - fm - online - this - is radio 1' tracks SO well when you say it. it works.

plus, there's gotta be some pride in the 'national' moniker -- when all is said and done, this is YOUR radio station, for and by the people of the UK (even though it really has taken off globally over the years).

we don't have a true 'national' radio here in the US -- and I think our syndicated programming pales in comparison to what happens across the BBC. but, perhaps that's an idea behind the change. put your name on it if you're proud of the work you're doing. easier to market to the rest of the world.

as one of those who detests change, it'll take a while for me to warm up to this new chap. but how cool of a job is that -- to tell your uni mates that you're the VO guy on Radio 1 (or, should I say, BBC Radio 1).

and now, being a complete dork, i've gotta go record some old latham stuff from my mills show trove. (those pictures of jody from cosmo -- good MORNIN)

love youu

I know it's new, blah blah blah BUT, I just think the BBC sounds stupid. National seems to fit so much better! And I don't like the way he says 'Scott Mills'....He ain't no Jody!

P.S. I feel well sorry if this guy happened to see this and we're all slagging him off!

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Greg is doing Breakfast from 7am-11am on 23rd May which is a thirty minute extension of his usual Friday show and consistent with Big Weekend timings. Also it looks like from the 1st June, Radio 1 Chillout Anthems at 4am is being replaced by Radio 1 Anthems with Maia Beth and will also air at the same time on a Sunday.

      I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.

      I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.

      I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.

      Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok?

      I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.

      Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.

      These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!

      Probably got fed up of the usual moaning bastards all over it, asking for Ken Bruce and Jimmy Young back on air.

      Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national.

      Although a lot of their target audience do seem to be moving across to Instagram now.

      I suppose it's because not a lot of people use Twitter (or X) so maybe it's not worth their time, surprised about Facebook though.

      Surprised to learn Radio 2 and 6 Music are moving away from X and Facebook, I would have thought there's more appeal in Radio 1 doing that instead. Their target audiences still use Facebook, and it's still a key way to reach a good mix of audiences. Agree about X though, don't see any need for it. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2024/05/bbc-radio-2-and-6-music-quit-facebook-and-x-publishing/

      Just wondering…has any DJ got the answer wrong yet? I’ve not heard one and they are pretty tough questions! 😆
