This show is supposed to be all about the music. It's nothing more than listening to your hairdresser. Even the Live Lounge has been dumbed down to the point she appears to know nothing about her guests. It's really sad to listen to - and don't say don't - I have a clock radio and I can't pick up Heart on it so I'm stuck until I hit snooze... A reason to wake up before 10am I guess!

Historically it is, but there's nothing to say this should continue. I much prefer Jo, but I think Fearne has to make the show her own. When she settles down and finds her groove, it should make quite a good listen.

Fearne will be fine. Just fine. Can't keep a good chick down. Once she gets more and more used to these live lounges, and researches.... er... a little more, she'll be just fine. :-)

Interesting to see Fearne putting her TV career before her 'Oh my God I've always wanted to be on Radio 1!!!!1111' one.

Personally don't feel that jetting off to Las Vegas for a weekend to meet Paris Hilton, then turning up totally shafted on Monday morning, as a result, in your second week in the job is particularly professional.

Yet another awkward handover with Moyles too.

Wonder how long it'll take R1 to realise that replacing Whiley with Cotton was a very bad move indeed.

She can handle it. Anyway, that would have been pre-organised.

She's an all-round professional lady with loads to offer.

Give her a chance, people.

We discussed Fearne in our Live Radio class at University today. The consensus from practically everyone in the class is that she's just a TV star who hasn't been able to make the transition to radio because she has no personality, is patronising and tries far too hard, doesn't seem knowledgeable and, in the words of my lecturer, "who the fuck is Fearne Cotton? Even Fearne Cotton doesn't know who Fearne Cotton is."

Heard the last bit of her show today while i was on the train to London town.

Not a massive fan, i don't particularly care about her jetting off to wherever, but i guess it's a new show and if radio 1 want an itv2 style show on in the morning then they can do what they want, they'll soon think again if the next few RAJAR's don't go their way.

Dunno? Another month anyway?? She's just a little tired and upset because she's just travelled across the Atlantic Ocean, and feels she looks a mess today.

Oh I almost swore here. How the hell can you be sympathetic about that? She's a sodding radio presenter.

The specialist DJs do it quite often getting in with just enough time for the shows

You should have sworn (ha ha). It's important to girls to feel nice, even if no-one can see them on the radio.

Female psychology, trust me.

Yes but why the hell should the average listener feel sorry for someone who's job is to present on the radio, if she's just travelled across the world?

Yes, but as I said before, the Paris Hilton stuff was probably pre-arranged some time back. I actually feel sorry for her having to meet Paris Hilton, never mind anything.

It reminds me of all the people picking on Alesha Dixon: someone new has just gone into a job, they're gonna bring new things to it, the Cotton isn't used to the live lounges, etc, etc. - and people just go instantly "nuts".

This aside, I believe Paris Hilton has made the Oxford book of quotations. :hahaha:

    • 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? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
