Oh my goodness!:shock: I'm not Miss flipping Slocombe! Never had a purple rinse in my life.

In her defence, Nikki has parenthood duties to attend to too.

No offence Greg, you're doing a good job, but I do miss Scott in the afternoon. Why can't he do the morning, have a little nap then return at 4?

It leaves an empty hole in my afternoons (so to speak). Greg's good but it's not the same as having a good ol'discussion about immature stuff and having something to talk about on the forums.

True. Its hard t think of someone else who can cover after the shuffle

lol we've done this loads on another thread too haven't we? I say Greg will still do it, then Huw/Sara/Nihal in for Greg really. Since it seems when Scott does move to Breakfast or somewhere Greg will get Drivetime.

I dont think that can happen when Scott calls in ill, but maybe for planned holidays. I wouldnt think they'd purposely move too many people though, moving Greg to cover Scott whos covering for Moyles will mean Dev to Gregs slot and someone else to Devs. Far too complicated really.

Has there been any names put down for whos getting Dev's weekend slot yet?

Edith Bowman is doing weekend breakfasts.

How about Scott to Chris', Greg to Scott's, Huw/Sara/Nihal to Greg's?

Breakfast Breakfast? Poor her! Thats a proper nasty drop...

She shouldn't have blocked me from Twitter. Like I say, you can't be too trusting when there are young talented people out there, probably why she bumped me off.

What did you do to get blocked?

Must be UM related. I didn't tweet her I don't think.

Morning... I'm shattered. And to top it off I dreamt about Greg's newsreader Sam Aziz. What a dark point in my life.

    • 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!
    • Friday - Nathan Dawe, Wilkinson Saturday - Jax Jones Sunday - London Grammar, Remi Woolf, AJ Tracey
    • 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! 😆
    • On the weekends theme @Bluestraw said this in the chatbox but I was listening live to James cusack's show yesterday and agree it would be a travesty if he doesn't feature in the weekend plans. Both the greg james fb page and users on digital spy are saying similar. Imagine that, being both part of the LGBTQ+ community but able to appreciate good presenters in 2024.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Sian on Tuesday 4th June.
    • I think at least part of the problem is that a lot of Danny's act is based around Drag humour which (a) isn't for everybody (b) has to be so tamed down for daytime radio, it just becomes silly and (c) it is humour generally consumed on a night out with lots of alcohol taken!
