Seems that this one has slipped under the radar, but the Q2 numbers are out tomorrow morning (August 6th) at 7am.

Any early predictions?

I have a weird, complete gut feeling that Radio One will be slightly down, including Moyles. I think Wogan might be down too, but his #1 spot is probably safe. It'd be nice for Moyles to get the top spot because it's a high to return the show on, but I just have a weird feeling that it might not happen. The increases of the last quarter suggests there may be a levelling out to "restore balance" so to speak. But I hope I'm wrong.

For historical purposes, Q2 2008 saw Moyles and Wogan both down. Q2 2007 saw Radio One, Scott and Chris all up.

So what say you?

Moyles Up (Slightly), Radio 1 down, Wogan Up.

Moyles has not had a proper holiday this quarter so it would be strange for it to go down, especially as they have been on good form recently.

I'm guessing my local station, Real Radio in Yorkshire hasn't faired too well, as usually on the morning of the Rajar figures been announced, the jingles are changed to reflect their 'success'

Generally, it seems positive for Moyles, but at the moment Wogan seems to have a tighter grip.

But, Wogans audience is alot older than Chris'. They're gonna all die one day

Sir Terry Pulls Ahead Of Moyles

BBC Radio 2's Wake up to Wogan is the UK's most popular breakfast radio show, according to new figures from industry body Rajar.

Figures for the first three months of 2009 suggested Radio 1 presenter Chris Moyles might be gaining on his rival.

But new data shows 7.93 million people tuned in Sir Terry each week, compared with 7.72 million who prefer Moyles.

Elsewhere, BBC Radio 3 has reason to celebrate after achieving its biggest audience for more than two years.

<!-- E SF -->A total of 2.02 million people tuned in each week during the last measurement period of 30 March to 28 June.

Rajar figures also show BBC Radio 4's audience now exceeds 10 million after attracting around 465,000 new listeners in the past year.

Significant rise

But its flagship Today programme saw a slight fall in its weekly audience, its current reach of 6.51 million down on the 6.69 million posted last quarter.

Sir Terry and Moyles were almost neck and neck in the last set of quarterly figures, with the Radio 2 presenter ahead by around 80,000 listeners.

The veteran broadcaster's lead is now more significant, having attracted more than 200,000 additional listeners to his regular morning broadcast.

In the commercial sector, Classic FM saw its audience rise by more than 300,000 over the past three months to just over 5.7 million.

The figures show that more than 90% of the UK population aged 15 and over tune in to their favourite radio station for at least five minutes in the course of a normal week.

Haha Great line!

For at least 5 minutes? Loyal audience who do that then. I listen to at least 4 hours a day in the week with Scott/Zane/Moyles.

They forget that Moyles must have a lot of kids that won't be counted in the ratings. An unfair disadvantage on Wogan. Add that in and I like to think they're equal ;)

I've always wondered, when the press and commercial radio rant that Radio 1 is too old and needs to aim for a younger audience, are the average age numbers accounting for an audience that don't show up in the ratings?

      Find Noah Kahan is just busker music. I mean I was pleasantly surprised that Ezra collective were in session for Jack Saunders on his new shoes and he is playing their latest track wouldn’t have thought few years back that at 6pm in the evening jazz music would be played. I hope if can get the green light and launch the 00s/10s station that the focus is on more new music be it pop mainstream and alternative genres on the main 1

      Scott's show is perfect for the office. If Matt and Mol have a podcast I'd listen to that. All the fun without the Gen Z rappers.

      Similar to SZA’s Kill Bill, the word “kill” had been initially cut out of Taylor Swift’s Fortnight. But it seems like they are now playing an unedited version.

      Also hopefully won't get my head bitten off for this but I'd say of the current Radio 1 DJs the one arguably most similar to Scott Mills's latter time on Radio 1 would be Mollie. I'm not saying she's as good as Scott was to be clear but she is that sort of vibe. 'Future Pop' is exactly the sort of music Scott would be championing and you can tell Mollie has the same passion for it that Scott did. There's that Party Anthems link too - a show Matt & Mol do that previously Scott did and they bring a similar energy to how Scott did that makes it a fun listen. Matt & Mollie seem to just have that natural connection with the listeners that Scott & Chris did that you can't manufacture.

      I find at the minute I'm a bit of a nomad when it comes to radio stations. Often the Radio 1 playlist really doesn't appeal to me these days and I did wonder is it just me tiring of new music but then I'll listen to Future Pop and Party Anthems and there's loads of tunes on there that I love and they're excellent listens but just too few of those make it to the playlist. Radio 2 may arguably be more to my taste music wise but also often feels too rooted on the past. Plus much of the content just doesn't appeal to me and verges on the 'mumsy' side. Plus Radio 2's new music can feel very 'middle of the road' - just because I don't enjoy some of the Radio 1 new stuff it doesn't mean I want Take That & Will Young as 'new music'. For me currently if I'm tuning in for radio it'll be Jordan North on Capital Breakfast, on Radio 1 Matt & Mollie, (if Jamie is off)  Going Home and Sam & Danni plus there's also Capital Dance and Mistajam. They all hit the mark for me in a way other shows don't.

      Matt & Mol for me. For those that enjoyed Scott's Radio 1 show, Matt & Mollie are the natural successors (even more so than Scott's Radio 2 show) - two best mates doing a fun show packed full of content For one thing Matt & Mol inherited two of Scott's ex producers in Amy & Helena. Some Matt & Mollie features you could easily imagine Scott doing e.g. Matt vs Mollie and some feel near identical (can see 'Battletracks' taking the old 'Bangers' slot as it feels heavily based on that feature). Also while this may be down to being a weekend show Matt & Mol's show does seem to lean in a more pop direction and seems to deviate from the playlist more than some other shows- which helps as the Radio 1 playlist can be quite marmite and get samey very quickly. Something just doesn't hit the mark for me with Scott on Radio 2. It feels like it's aimed at somebody about a decade older than me and relies heavily on Noughties nostalgia. Scott too I feel works best with somebody else to work off and is missing that fun element he had with Chris and previously Chappers. It's fine but not something I'll go out my way to listen to.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Marcus17 · Posted

      Random idea time: condense all the throwback shows into one three hour show from 10am to 1pm on a Saturday, get Katie Thistleton back to host it (as Charlie does with Dance Anthems on a Saturday), call it “Radio 1’s Bottomless Brunch with Katie Thistleton” and just have 3 hours of throwbacks from across the decades, not just 00s or 10s, just a mix of everything. The occasional 90s anthem, tunes from the early 2020s, just 3 hours of pure feel good

      I think it's great the amount of choice out there right now. I could happily listen to Greg or Jordan in the morning, Going Home or Huw Stephens in the evening, or Scott and Matt and Mollie in afternoons.  Still a few times when I'm channel hopping but maybe that's healthy to check out what's around.  As that research pointed out, Scott is good for minimal distractions. If you want some chaos I dare say it'll be Matt and Mollie offering that.  Plenty of my friends say it's the Radio 1 playlist that puts them off, even if they like the DJs. So Radio 2 is more preferable.

      I quite quickly gave up on Scott’s show on R2 as I realised it wasn’t my kind of vibe. I do listen to the Scott Mills weekly to catch up, because I still think Scott is great, but there is just something missing (for example, he played out some clips recently of the old sleep recording app from the R1 days, and didn’t play ‘go and open the window Garry’ - or if he did, it didn’t make it to the podcast.) I don’t see them changing it now or making it any ‘younger’ than it is.   Matt & Mollie in the afternoon is something that I’m really looking forward to. They are such an interesting and funny listen. It has given me a different dilemma though, as 1pm has been the perfect time for me to catch up on the Capital breakfast show and takes me perfectly to the end of my working day, so now I’ll probably have to forego listening to that and stick with R1 for Matt & Mollie. These shows need podcasts because it’s already giving me fomo.

      Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.

      I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience.

      Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?

      Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different.

      They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.

      Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.
