New Schedule - Greg and Fearne on daytime

Recommended Posts

ok so it was probably time for a shake up...but Fearne on the morning shift? How on earth will she cope with regular weekday employment when she so rarely manages to turn up for her weekend show?

I wonder how much choice Jo and Edith really had? Im sure ive heard Edith say live on air that she isnt really a morning person! And therefore I wonder how long they will stay in those slots?

i think too, that both jo and edith actually had very little input regarding their changes if they wanted to stay at the station at all.

I also think it was time for a shake up (augusta92, 2 posts up) however i am not entirely convinced that Fearne will be able to keep up the weekday slot, however i am assuming that the BBC has mentioned to her that she will will need to present a percentage of her shows to keep the slot (assuming there is some sort of clause). If you remember how aqful she was at button pressing when she started it is quite suprising how she has risen so fast into the daytime schedule, but who else could have taken over?

Capes :)

this is a problem for people who only listen to radio 1...there are alot of good dj's from commercial radio out there. why not bring one of them in and change it like that.

Yes, but radio 1 never like to throw in a presenter in a big slot, all presenters have either started on early breakfast or weekend breakfast in recent years, good commercial radio presenters might not want to move to a lesser slot on radio 1.

There was an interesting article in today's sunday mirror complaining about the ageism/sexism prevalent in todays broadcasting world. Carole Malone, i think, was making the point that male broadcasters, in this country can be as old or as ugly as anything, while women have to be young and attractive to succeed!

The author was mainly upset about Holly Willoughby taking over on This Morning rather than a more experienced female journalist but she also mentioned how unfair it was that on R1 Fearne was taking over from Jo and Greg was taking over from Edith.

I wonder what would have happened if Chris Moyles had gone instead/ as well?

A shakeup was long overdue. I only tend to listen to bits of Chris's and Scott's shows in the week due to work so really headr Jo or Edith. Certainly wont make any effort to listen to Ferne, she cant interview and her and Reggie presenting is like being back in the playground. Well done to Greg, much deserved but hope the show has much less movies wise as that used to annoy me a lot. Some of us dont care about them.

I totally agree. This movie thing has to go. Also, many of us get movie stuff via e-mail, so you can watch trailers on-line. Therefore, we don't really need all this constant movie analysis.

They must think their target range really appreciate movies and go all the time, or something. I always thought it was odd as well... I can't even remember how this all got started in the first place. The day Colin and Edith went their seperate ways was the day it started to go downhill, really.

Edith was saying in a newspaper the other day that she feels she has taken her show as far is it can go (in its current slot), and, as much as I like her, I'm inclined to agree.

I agree- I liked them as a double act, but it always seemed something was missing with Edith on her own. I can see the same happening with Fearne and Reggie- I actually enjoy their show (I know a lot of people don't!) on the rare occasions they are together, but they're a bit dull on separately.

    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
    • There are a lot that share your sentiments. People have made comparisons to the different takes to Ukraine. 
    • It's a big 'No' from me (Israel-Palestine). No further comments.
    • A joke about pirates: ‘but we’re not jumping ship, like someone else’
