I wonder how Chris Moyles kept his slot when this shake-up was clearly to youthen the station up.

Its not a difficult thing to work out why.

Chris pulls in the listeners. He doesn't just pull in the older audience, he pulls in the target audience and below.

He is also one of the biggest radio personalities in the UK at this moment in time and as yet is unrivaled at what he does.

The show is also a 'bludy great show'.

Maybe Edith wanted to spend more time with her kids?

Or maybe its just the BBC cracking to public pressure....Although saying that i'm glad they are getting rid of them both because I prefer people like Greg on-air.

However, surely Greg & Fearne are going to feel that its all because of the public pressure and not there on-air style.

I was a bit shocked when I heard this. It'll be great to listen to Greg on afternoons but I'll miss Nihal on weekends. And I don't really know what I think about Fearne. I don't really like her, but maybe she'll be better without Reggie.

I'm not too sure about the new changes, especially the whole Fearne and Jo Whiley kerfuffle. How can they take Jo Whiley away from the Live Lounge?! Unless it was Jo's idea to have less shows, I really feel they've made a bad decision. I'm sure Fearne has a more successful career waiting in television rather than radio? I mean, as much as I love her, putting her on day time is a bad decision.

I do like to listen to Nihal at the weekend, but I do only listen in the background so I don't really have much of an opinion on this change.

I'm proper chuffed for Greg to be on weekday afternoons, though! He's truly earnt the promotion and he'll hopefully gain lots of new fans now. I also think it's a good idea to put Dev on Early Breakfast, it's a great opportunity for both of them!

I think the Radio One controllers are focusing too much on this target audience lark. I feel they're changing their line-up purely based on age related aspects, and not the DJ's talents and their unique characteristics that they bring to the station.

Still waiting to hear from Edith fan...
Alan is going to be gutted

i knew people would be waiting on a response from me (did try via mobie but it didn't work).

firstly surprised by the choice of Fearne in for Jo, i like Fearne & think she is a pretty good DJ, but she is more suitable for light shows like chart etc, the live lounge show is a big thing on R1 & i'm not sure she can do it as good as Jo & Fearne already has had people not to keen on her on the radio as it is & she is going to be under enormous pressure, but she won't succeed because people are just going to moan etc, i would have thought that Edith or Lauren would have been much better at the live lounge.

now on to Greg, i don't listen (never heard it) to his early show as im sleeping, & the first time i heard Greg covering for Scott i thought someone had changed the channel, when he covers for Scott i don't even bother listening really as he seems to be very bland & childish, with his "FLASH FLASH" thing & his poor attempts at humor he come across like JK & Joal or even Dick & Dom & if the format is still the same as Edith is doing now then, well i don't know what to say but it will be dire i think as he doesn't seem to have the right sort of personality, as for the guest interviews !

i know you will just think im saying this because i like Edith, but im not i genuinely don't get Greg, im also not sold on the "it will be going after the target audience as the show will not only have movies but we will be incorporating computer games", now forgive me but do schools allow pupils to listen to the radio in lessons ?

i will give Gregs show a chance, but he has to improve immensely before september, or i will unfortunately have to switch over.

Fearne would have been the better choice.

Flash flash works on the early breakfast show really well. It's a daft thing to either wake you up or go to bed as people are usually really tired. Doesn't work as well on Scott's but then he doesn't cover all the time. I know I text in to complain when he forgets lol.

Greg will be fine, he will look into making the show his own and won't take any of Edith's features I expect as people will say he doesn't do them as well. He also has a loyal following of fans who will follow him or listen back/download podcasts when he moves in September.

Some schools finish at 3.10 so if he did it after that it should be fine.

i just don't see how he has fans though, i just don't get him, as people have often said Edith is boring & bland & yet they like Greg but he is even worse (to me) he is probably a nice guy if you met him but the radio, i dunno he is the same as Fearne, cheeky, light & has a childlike way but that seems to work for Fearne, maybe is a sex thing as she is a woman & males like that better, but i thought women like men to be older & more mature ?

i don't want this to come across like some sort of character assassination, i'm just being honest & i would say exactly the same thing if he was doing any other show, i have a real fear that i will be turning off at 1pm from september.

with these changes i really fear for what will happen when Moyles leaves the breakfast show & R1 as a whole, i accept that change happens & that im getting older thus not the target audience, but do teens etc today really want presenters with no depth or passion for music instead of actual radio disc jockeys.

i just really hope that it was Edith's choice to move, however i suspect that Edith as well as Jo were told to take the weekend or have their contracts run down.

i agree with the CBBC radio comment above.

may have to change my username to G*H*4L lol

Greg doing movies?

Without being too dramatic I think this move could kill his career, it did Edith's. I think radio 1 should drop movies altogether or give James King his own slot

4-7 Saturday?

1-4 Friday?

6-7 Friday?

How about never? I like that idea.

Personally I think Edith goes OTT on the movies front. I think Greg will be a lot less about movies, although obviously it will be part of the show.

I would hope if they are also going to do gaming on his new show, it will have a similar set up to Jo's current show with the various experts coming in on differnt days. I couldnt bear another wall to wall movies show 5 days a week, however I cold happily live with 5 shows a week each concentrating on differnt elements of entertainment.

I bet Gordon (not so) Smart is feeling a right k******d now after printing his so called "exclusive"

Not impressed with censorship

Yeah, i'd agree with that. It can be far too much at times.

    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
    • Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.
