I have a choice of staying in either Leeds or Manchester and going for the day at the moment, is 2 hours from Nottingham and similar or maybe slightly less from Leeds. Don't know about staying the night yet but it'd be good to meet some geeks for the day.

I'm assuming you'll need to go to Manchester Piccadilly, I'm not sure if there are any other stations in the centre of Manchester. And I think Emma suggested that we meet by the big wheel outside Selfridges if I remember correctly.

I wanted to take advantage of cheap tickets, now I know that I'm definitely gonna day trip it from London. No one had decided on a time to meet so I thought I'd get there just before 1pm since it seems a civilised enough time.

The bar on the first floor of the station is really easy to find. You walk into the station away from the train tracks and its above you on the left. Otherwise there's the coffee shop on the first floor on the right.

There's two other stations in Manchester centre: Oxford Road & Victoria.

Well, workload or no workload I'm determined to go to this as I've been wanting to meet you all for ages, so I'm 95% sure I'm coming. I think a lot of you already have my current number, although if anyone wants it then they can PM me or talk to me on MSN.

Is the bar nearer the platforms or the street entrance? If i come i'll have to walk from platforms 13/14 which are out the back of the station, As will other people if anyone elses train doesn't terminate at Picadilly (goes onto Preston or Manchester Airport for example). I know theres some escalators there and toilets, and a coffee shop too if i'm not mistaken at that end of the station?

Here's a map of the station, so you know what i mean :)

      It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html

      I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown

      Next Radio 1 boss

      By R1 Insider · Posted

      The next RAJAR will be putting a lot of pressure on Aled. Will his decisions over Danny Beard and Jamie Laing and to lose Jordan North pay off? If not, it is likely bosses will be looking for his successor.  I am interested to know what fans of the station think?  Ian Chaloner who worked for Greg, Scott and Grimny before rising through the ranks must stand a chance. He is now mainstream editor.  An outsider choice but Greg's former producer Chris Sawyer would be great. He has the creativity and has held the ship well on breakfast. Although I know he is no longer with them.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Could this be similar to what Arielle Free did in Covid on Weekend Early Breakfast?

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By TMD_24 · Posted

      Greg is doing Breakfast from 7am-11am on 23rd May which is a thirty minute extension of his usual Friday show and consistent with Big Weekend timings. Also it looks like from the 1st June, Radio 1 Chillout Anthems at 4am is being replaced by Radio 1 Anthems with Maia Beth and will also air at the same time on a Sunday.

      I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.

      I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.

      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!

      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.
