Fearne's new morning show

Fearne Cotton weekdays 10-12:45 Radio-1

people seem to have a problem with Jo leaving & Fearne taking over, if i'm honest i did think that Edith was the perfect choice & natural successor to take over Jo's show, anyway,

i think Fearne will do well & make the show her own & build on what Jo has done over the years & take it in a new direction, she won't let it fail.

good luck Fearne :)

I'll leave it to you to start the 'good luck Greg James' thread as well.

'It wasn't ageism that got me the job on Radio 1, it was talent'

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/sep/13/fearne-cotton-radio-1-ageism

Oh dear Fearne... In no way was it her talent/personality (or lack of) that got her the job, it was the targets of the BBC Trust. If she honestly believes she gained the job on merit alone as opposed to age/looks then she's a bigger fool than I took her for. Jo Whiley's show still works fabuously, yet whilst solo (I think F&R sound good together) Fearne simply doesn't have the entertainment factor to make you want to tune in again. It merely follows the desire for change and to appear to appeal to the teen market- who we all know are at school at this time! Ridiculous. It the show was awarded by talent and popularity then if a replacement was needed it would have quite blatantly been given to Sara Cox.

I'm starting to think Fearne's show is being bigged up too much like it's going to transform the morning show to something new. I honestly think all that we'll see is probably the axing of Changing Tracks and the addition of New Music Generator. I expect it will just be the Jo Whiley show without Jo Whiley.

Wow, and to think Alan was worried Greg would be the one with no ideas. A huge shame about this show so far. Proof as ever the station is only interested in age and not entertainment. I will keep listening though and decide properly on Friday.

Out of interest Jono, what haven't you liked? I've quite enjoyed Fearne so far...

Nope. No me gusta, para nada! Don't like. At all.

I've given the vacuous Ms Cotten 50 minutes longer than I'd planned to - so noone can accuse me of being unfair. In the words of Mitchell and Webb: this is a very "bad miss" from R1.

Pffffft.

    • Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then? 
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.

    • I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • 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?
