oh, they don't see to be listed on the website, might be a website error, hope so!

Jo Definitely played it and I'm sure Edith did too.

The only really main thing that bugs me is that they are bleh slow as at finding new artists. I'd heard Little Boots' tracks about a year before R1 got hold of them, then they waffle on about how she's a "new act" etc. Er, n-uhh!

Wo I have just read through the whole thread and there seems to be some things that are unanimous. I had no idea that Sara Cox was recorded. I thought with the shuffle it would have to be live even if there is no prizes.

Things that Piss me off are not Jo Whiley herself but the way she just acts like a girlie around any guests at all. She is older than me for Gods sake and she has been in radio a long time to not be so unprofessional. And a lot of them are so young she could be their mother.

I hate the way events such as the big weekend and any special band events are promoted to within an inch of it's (Or our) lives. Then I hate the fact that the DJs go on and on about "Oh It was so wonderful" "Sorry for going on about it if you weren't there but you missed a real treat"

The fact that If I listen all day from Moyles to Mills then I have heard the same 10 songs 4 times and I am sick of them. There is no variety apart from on Edith's show where she plays somereally crap alternative stuff which is great but not really for 2 in the afternoon.

I really love listening to Moyles in the morning as he makes me laugh but there are so many things about him that make me want to run down there and wring his neck. Like the way he super name drops. Mentioning stuff then saying "Oooh no I can't talk about it on air" THEN BLOODY DON'T MENTION IT THEN! He is the worst culprit for rubbing it in that he went to an event and we didn't. I also get annoyed when he will say I have a ticket to such and such tonight but I don't think I will go - People have spent a fortune paying for tickets to these shows ans he can just pick and choose if he is going or not.

Above people have mentioned producre rachel but Aled is far worse. He is all corporate. All his twitters these days are don't forget to listen to this or that. I stopped reading his blog for the same reason and on air it is constant plugging and corporate bollocks.

Oh and another thing. I joined the FB pages for Moyles and Mills but they are both the same they just both promote radio 1 as a whole. i thought they were just going to be about that show.

That's it for now I think...

I'm sure you mean b-efore Nick started on the show - before he was there, Annie did the show on her own. Before Switch it was Mr Pearce.

Nope. When the INMWT Shows first moved to 9-10pm they had the 1xtra takeover on a saturday, then Annie did a show in between dance anthems and the surgery. It didnt last very long, maybe 6 weeks/2 months, and it was just before the whole switch thing started.

What comments have been made about Michael Jackson? I have missed this this morning...

If I remember correctly they were to the effect that the MJ tribute thing on tv was hastily organised, should have been done at a later date to give them more time to sort out somethin better, and I'm sure I think there were a few comments about the guys doin the voiceovers as well. It was more a criticism of the tribute than negative comments about jackson himself
