I'm really not enjoying Vernon in brekkie this week - sorry!! He does just fine on a Saturday, but move him to a brekkie show, and it just doesn't work. Jesus.

And I'm detecting (or at least I think I am) friction - again, and people that seem afraid of saying the wrong thing to him. What the Hell's going on?

Listeners pick up on these things, and it seems to be pretty much the same story whenever he is put into the breakfast slot.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

I made it clear before that I don't enjoy when Vernon sits in for Moyles. I find it sorta irritating cos at least when Scott sits in, he brings his show to it (though we could go on for days asking why it's called CHRIS MOYLES SHOW WITH SCOTT MILLS). But Vernon is sitting in, talking to Dave and Aled and doing Chris' features and stuff. Can't get used to it, then again I would consider myself a die-hard Moyles fan

Chirs said the other week that as good a job as Scott does he likes Vern doing it as he keeps it as The Chris Moyles show not the Scott Mills Show but in a morning

Scott (as much as I think he is great) could never do breakfast as well as Moyles. I just always feel something is lacking in it when Vern is on. Though I found the half hour I heard this morning more amusing than I thought it would be,

Vern works well in for Moyles when he has the whole team, but as Jono said the click isnt there with Tulip & Andy

What Chris basically means is he doesn't want Scott to seem better at doing breakfast than he is (and Scott does do breakfast extremely well)

Or, more likely, Chris is protective of his product and realises that audience doesn't always react to big changes very well, so it's better to keep close to the format of the norm to allow for familiarity and to help Chris ease in and out of the show better.

Scott's show is very different to Chris's and could quite easily polarise opinion. Like mine, for example, who would NEVER choose Mills over Moyles for anything. Vernon isn't exactly Moyles either, and God forbid if he ever gets breakfast full-time, but with Dave and Aled by his side he's not too far away from the general Moyles experience.

Well I heard Scott say several times last week that it was 'The Chris Moyles Show with Scott Mills'. They also have the sung jingles saying it.

I've not heard much this week so not sure what to make of it. All seems a little clumsy in places but it'll get better.

Yes but the fact is, it's not. It is Scott Mill's normal show but on in the morning, has different jingles and Scott doesn't play a song at the very start of the show.

Yes, I know. But he does actually say 'The Chris Moyles show with Scott Mills'. Other people have said he hasn't, but he does.

I know he does his own crappy Zzzzz show. (Sorry!).....

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
