Recommended Posts

Fearne Cotton is already in training for Sport Relief, which will be from 19th - 21st March 2010 .... the official announcement about what she will be doing is to follow soon...

www.sportrelief.com

As one of the UK’s biggest fundraising events, Sport Relief is your chance to get active, raise cash and change lives. That’s because all the money raised by the public is spent by Comic Relief to help poor and vulnerable people, both at home and overseas. And it’s all set to take the country by storm from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st March!

I love when Radio 1 do the Sport Relief stuff, and am really looking forward to this. :D:D

If you choose, why not go in for something yourself this year?? Go in for a mile run perhaps?? Download a sponsorship form today!!

When you register for Sport Relief, you receive a card signed by Fearne Cotton, with a picture of her on the front!! EF4L may like this (ha ha)

She has also written a note about Sport Relief, and there's a mention for the time spent in Kilimanjaro. Davina will also be involved this year!!

Sport Relief is an initiative of charity Comic Relief.

What's wrong with you?

Nothing. By pushing a topic to the top of the screen, eyes would be drawn to it, meaning more people will likely give money to the Charity.

I'm low on material at the moment, because Radio 1 need to start picking it up more.... then I'll be well away!!

Watch & learn, Juggy.

Watch & learn. :)566 hits.... and climbing ......

Why not do something constructive with your time today, and sponsor me??!!

Right. Radio 1 are underway with the Sport Relief stuff (about time).

So, the Cotton is cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End. WOW. Other celebs involved include David Walliams, Russell Howard (love him) and Davina McCall.

They are hoping to raise £1m, and with Radio 1 listener help, they can do this!!

Chris Moyles is sponsoring her £1,000. WOW. Very impressed.

Visit www.sportrelief.com/whats-on/challenges/cycle - read their story!!

To help the team get off to a flying start, BT is declaring ‘Chat for Change’ day on 26 February 2010. On behalf of its customers, BT will donate 1p to Sport Relief for every call made from a BT and a Plusnet home landline on that day.

A great start to something R1 will do very well.

Not that much really. He could at least up it to £1,200 as I believe it's around 1,200 miles between Land's End and John O'Groats.

I shall be sponsoring the luverly Russell.

Really?? And how much are you sponsoring her?? It's 1,000 miles, so £1,000.00 is very apt.

Yup you're right, infact by road it is only 800 miles. So Moyles is being a generous soul. ;) On foot it is 1,200 miles though.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land's_End_to_John_o'_Groats

I shall not be sponsoring Fearne, as I mentioned before I will sponsor Russell Howard.

What business is it of yours how much any normal member of the British public decides to sponsor people either, provided they actually do it. Which I just have.

Indeed, what business is it of yours either??

My point is the large amounts are great - and Chris is right up in my estimation - but people really shouldn't be asked point blank for large amounts. If every listener, in fact, gave just £1.00, providing they can afford it, it would add up to so very, very much... :-) And that's a great thing.

Right, I'm offski. I refuse to get into an argument in a Charity Topic. Any other topic, OK, but not this one. :-)

I'm glad you gave money though!! Russell is a lovely star!!

BTW, if you don't donate online at all, Sainsbury's are running a system right now, where, if you buy something for 50 pence (just as an example) in their shop, and you agree to the 50p being rounded up to the £1.00, the outstanding 50p goes towards Sport Relief. Great idea.

Sport Relief socks are £2.00, and at least £1.00 goes to the Charity!! :-)

    • I think they should just bring that back as was. It's been nearly 20 years, so do it with a whole bunch of new DJ's. 
    • I think this year has taught us we know nothing 🙂 Nobody would ever have credibly predicted Jordan leaving and all the changes that followed.   I have another interest outside radio and it is exactly the same - the stuff you never expect to happen is exactly what does.
    • Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky between the 28th-30th May.
    • I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?
    • Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.
    • Zoe Ball is back on the breakfast show on Monday.
    • Just listening to matt and mollie at work and heard them say it's their second to last show on weekends
    • And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury 
    • When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.
    • Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
    • I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury
    • I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.
    • Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then? 
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.
