Right so Chappers has gawn. Therefore no more Chappers and Dave filling in. So an idea, why not get Dave to do some fill in work, but instead of doing it on his own give him a Comedy Dave sort of figure. I am proposing that Radio 1 should give some weekend cover work to instead of Chappers and Dave. "Dave and Dom".

Ummm, not for me. I think Dave and Dom appear to me a more natural double act than Dave and Aled.

Just because their names alliterate.. Lame excuse if so :P (emphasis on the :P part of that)

Aaaanyhow, Dave and Dev if we're going on the above excuse.. If not, I think, although it's not the most likely combination, Dave and Huw. I just wanna see how they get on.

presenting newsbeat is probably harder as i think there are more buttons to press, most of the segueways after the news for example are all pre recorded. Mic up, mic down play song/promo/whatever! Dave and Dom def, Aled already has one show and is good at it, but he is a prod not presenter

Capes :)

Mabye if they had Dave cover for Coxy when she is on maternity leave they could have a different co-host every week.

Not a bad idea actually, don't think they'll do it mind, but it was just listening to Jaymo and Andy George the other day I couldn't help but think I'd much rather be listening to Dave, even if he was on his own.

Please no. I cannot bear Dominic- the weak point of the Chris Moyles Show for me. His stupidity really irritates me- I quite like newsreaders to have some semblance of intelligence.

I couldn't disagree more. Dom is a rare talent. Not only is he an excellent newsreader who fits in with Newsbeat's style perfectly but he has a unique sense of humour and is naturally very funny. It's rare for a newsreader to have that side to him and I think it's something he should be praised for.

The Stig makes sense! :D

      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.

      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.
