I'm sure he'll love that comment...

Yea, great way of being know as a fan... but come on he must know... mind u the lecturers usually look the worst at graduation with silly big colored hats with feathers (or atleast my lecturers had them)..

Tho must be great to recieve a degree with out doing 3/4 years, but if you were one of the other students there you'd be a bit unhappy me thinks.

Sorry if for any spelling mistakes, I'm dyspraxic.

AMAZING! Nearly 20 years after leaving school with just a couple of GCSEs, Scott Mills returned to Hampshire to pick up a degree from Southampton Solent University.

Watched by his proud family, the DJ, “off of” Radio 1, joined graduating students at Southampton Guildhall to be presented with his honorary doctor of arts.

Scott, 35, who went to Crestwood School in Eastleigh before becoming the youngest commercial radio presenter when he landed a slot on Power FM at the age of 16, received the award for his services to broadcasting.

“It’s always good to be back in Southampton, and my family are just so pleased, as I am, so it’s been a great day,” he said.

“It feels strange, but it’s a huge honour. But if it’s good enough for Craig David, it’s good enough for me.”

You know, one thing that is bugging me about the Scott interview, is where he is saying he didn't have the "education" - well, you know, this is such a pile of s***. What he has achieved has been achieved through "life education", what he has contributed over the years has been outstanding (I think).

So, all you people who are knocking him for not going through the 3/4 year studies, piss off!!

The only thing that is really, really bad is the sheer amount of debt which everyday students come out with!! Now this is one thing that bugs me.

    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
