Ever get the feeling that Radio One management are desperate to make Fearne seem in any way credible? We get Fearne on the request and chart shows when she can be bothered to show up, we get Fearne taking over the Live Lounge and suddenly we have "I used to record myself making up chart shows and wanking over the radio" ads and now Fearne vs. the guy that people actually believe to be a credible and interesting DJ in the hopes that people see that she knows her music and has eclectic tastes and is worthy of her spot.

Fuck off trying to shove her down our throats, you fucking assholes. What is it with management, between Grimshaw and now Fearne? Hey, maybe you could find a typewriter and put it in front of a mic and promote it to drivetime and run some ads telling us how amazing this typewriter is and how grateful it is to be a drivetime DJ whilst we hear an endorsement from Scott Mills every 15 minutes telling us how he left because he knew he couldn't compete with the talents of the typewriter and fantasises about one day being as entertaining.

Same principle, except the typewriter may actually genuinely be more interesting than Fearne Cotton.

11 out of 10 on the annoyance scale do you mean? :confused:

It's a Spinal Tap reference, you film heathen/media student! ;)

Shan't be listening, incidentally. Mainly because I don't want to batter the radio to a pulp, as it's quite new and I like it.

Yup, I predict an 11 from her though.

I'm going to agree with Mitchell. I'd say too harsh before yesterday, but I heard the Oh What's Occurring call on Scott's show. Unlike the others, you could tell it was set up to promote Fearne and make her sound wacky. It just turned into another plug for her clothing range.

"No Timmy Trendy, I am bang on trend, that's my clothing range!"

      OJ Borg is in for Trevor Nelson on the Rhythm Nation tonight (with Phill Williams on overnight). He's also in for Michael Ball for the next two Sundays (12th and 19th May).

He sat in for Owain Wynn Evans yesterday and he's in again this Thursday (9th May) and Bank Holiday Monday (27th) Spoony in for Scott Mills from Tuesday 28th till Friday 31st May.

      Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job.

      Rylan and Scott

      They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments.

      I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!

      Eurovision 2024

      Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort.

      I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.

      Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year?

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.

      Was the same vibe on the Easter Monday show they did too. Just random questions and the like…. Katie is definitely the glue around making the show listenable.

      Vick and Jamie together are quite… awkward. Random discussion seems to be at an all time high without Katie. Maybe it’s just that there’s a lack of features today.

      Jamie not even knowing about the big weekend day and the fact he starts the show at 14:00 just says everything.

      I still haven’t forgiven Radio 1 for signing Laing. Vick and Jordan was good, you could hear the chemistry on air

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      I just want to add though that I am beginning to enjoy the show a bit more now that it’s settled in - I think Jamie (when he’s there) has calmed down a bit and then the new features that have been progressively added over the last couple of weeks have been good too.    I still don’t think it’s a patch on Vick and Jordan together, but it is now a show that seems like it could have legs into the future and once Matt and Mollie start in July, I could see myself sticking with R1 all afternoon.

      Capital Summertime Ball 2024

      By BBCAaron · Posted

      I think it’s a slimmer line-up and seems to fall short in previous years where it seemed almost double that I know Raye is booked to perform and is a headline name. I think the issue with a station like capital they are dealing with a rather lacklustre year for pop and theres no real big pulls for pop festivals that are an easy sell out right now. I think Capital has had seen it’s Capital Ball’s as for any generic pop music listener I don’t know whether Bradley Simpson, Aitch and Paul Russel have the universality to play in a stadium even Sugababes think it would be better if they chosen a smaller outdoor location or Wembley arena.
