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".

Your thoughts please.

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 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      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?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      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?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      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.

      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.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      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.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      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.
