Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

[Jono]

Yes but they aren't Scott's (Chappers') audience, so why should the news be broken to them?

Most people who depart don't want a fuss. I don't think they announced Laura was off until the day.

I appreciate that, but there's a difference between making a fuss and not saying anything at all.

[jdog55]

Have to agree with Rik, IF Chappers is leaving then why is it being done in such a half assed way as if it was the teaboy leaving. Chappers for me makes the show and is as important to Scott as Comedy Dave is to Chris Moyles. Why leave it to 4 days to his departure, that is if they announce it on Mon. BTW Jono do you know more about Chappers leaving than your letting on?

[Chippy]

Chappers leaving shows a shift in the direction of his career, from Sports news, Scott's show and the odd fill-in to more sports related work, 5live and ESPN.

We all know that this is the direction he truly wants to take.

Leaving Radio 1 will free him up to do more work for 5 Live and BBC Sport so good luck to him. Chappers you shall be missed!

[jdog55]

I'll wait until the news is confirmed, sad day for the Scott Mills show if true.

[darlorhino]

im gutted if chappers is off, but i guess i understand his decision.

wont be the same, but i guess we got used to becky when laura left.

good luck in all your future ventures chappers, and come back into the show!

[E*F*4L]

wouldnt have thought he would cover for carrie on the moyles show as Chappers is a presenter in his own right.

PS: is Jono a ooo I have inside news but i'm not telling anyone

i think jono knows but won't tell us :*

[DarkAngelMJH]

I do hope it isn't the end of hearing Chappers on R1 and I hope everyone send loads of texts into R1 on his last show saying goodbye. I know I will.

[Lucie]

I need some dramatic X Factor music to let this sink in.

If it's true, Chappers will be missed dearly

[Chippy]

Becky's tweet said she is getting him a leaving present.

A present isn't needed if he was changing shows.

[Kelly]

I'm just really sad. I'm not angry at Chappers for leaving, because he's doing what he wants to do and I'm glad that he is, but I'm sure gonna miss him.

[Lee.]

its an end of an era

[Jono]

The musical was true. He's off to dance.

[tvguy101]

i think jono knows but won't tell us :*

Who knows? We'll just have to wait it out.

I can confirm next week four will become three. One of us will be gone on Christmas Eve. I don't think it's going to be me somehow... Nooo

[equalsabracket]

The Scott Mills twitter is fake. It's ran by somebody on here I think.

[krazy_chloe]

That would be Jono wouldn't it...

[Chippy]

That would be Jono wouldn't it...

I've never understood who it is.

I think Jono, but then why and how would he know what Scott is always doing unless he texts Jono loads of times a day...and then why doesn't he just twitter it himself.

[Hammer]

Cos he's rubbish with computers, obviously.

[Chippy]

So Jono does it all?

[Jono]

I do some, there's some tip-offs from the agency and some come from Scott. The quote on Twitter comes from Scott's show at the time.

[Chippy]

Oh cool, you're our inside man then

[E*F*4L]

Oh cool, your our inside man then

YES as i have said Jono is juiced in at R1

there is a few grumpy people here on UM that could take over from Chappers :hahaha: (if he does go)

[Lee.]

they should have search for a sidekick competition like what they did for one night with laura and go on tour around uk to find a replacement. chappers will be missed gonna be a sad week.

No, why does everything have to become a competition? Is this because of Pop Idol?
