[markandlardrule]

i sort of agree with him,

let colin and edith on the brekkie show and leave moylesy where he is!

[Stevo_trash]

the breaky time slot is going to be an interesting brawl in london.

moyles-radio 1
vaghan- capital
wogan- radio 2
o connel-xfm
jono- (weak) heart fm
bam bam- kiss fm

I think the move is positive creativly as for the past two years the show hasn't really attempted to do anything to radical with its format. For radio 1 in general however, its a silly move. With moyles holding probably the largest listnership business wise it would be silly to transfer him to a new timeslot which would potentially lose a great bulk of his fans. As bob pointed out in his review, the style of the show is very different, the listeners who tune into the show have less interest in long drawn out links and rapid delivery of segments.

Theres no question that moyles can adapt to this but whether he can secure his current core listenership and further convey his on air persona effectivly (like mark and lard didn't).

This management decision is rather weak in my humble estimation. There going to try transfering audiences on opposite ends of the daytime schedule and hope to build upon them. This sounds like a long term process. Personally, i think scott mills has come a long way in the past couple of years and has developed a persona which sets him aparts from his bland hopefull collegues. Someone ought to give him a chance if there going to give spoony a job for christ sakes.

In moyles shoes however you only live once, and if he didn't take it now and at least try hr'd be kicking himself a few years down the line.

finally, i would compare this situation to plastering cracked walls to hide the substanace of a house. I fail to see the strategy on this one.

[Lawrie]

as my mum pointed out earlier....." the only way for the breakfast show is.....out the front door"

[MC]

First of all I'd just like to say that I think we're all in agreement that moving Sara Cox to afternoons is a sh*te idea

I always thought when Moyles moved it'd be Mills in the afternoon and I would certainly prefer him to Coxy anyway

I'm pleased Chris and Dave are going to breakfast and I think that after 5 years in the afternoons and 3 and a half years waiting for Cox to be got rid of, they deserve their big chance and heres to hoping they turn the figures around. I will certainly be listening anyway...

Just a few questions though
- will Rachel be kept on as producer and will Aled move to the breakfast show with all Sara's ''crew'' on afternoons?

- will Matt Barbett and Chappers stay on breakfast or will they get Georgina to move to read the news with Chris as well

- what will happen to The Tedious Link (I'm thinking maybe 9am..?)

- Are they going to drop the whole big ones thing?

- Will a show with news every 15 minutes, regular competitions/prizes and where a lot more will be expected in terms of features etc suit Chris's style?....

Ask Aled?

And will you review the breakfast show?

[Mcqueen_]

- Are they going to drop the whole big ones thing?

I'd think so. I wouldn't of thought Chris' man breasts counted.

Some good points there though MC. It will be interesting to see how the show style changes. Guess these are the BIG changes Aled refered to before.

[Uglybob]

The answer on my part is no I wont be reviewing is in January i will

1. have no job and be lieing in
2. have a job and watch bear in the big blue house on channel 5

[MC]

And will you review the breakfast show?

I've said I'll happily do it but it's all down to what bob wants to do and not me

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

well i will probably get to hear more of the show than i do now as i travel to work. to be honest i'm quite happy with it as there is nothing else on in the morning. just have to find a good afternoon show now...

also i agree with the trash when he says it might stimulate some change in the show as it hasnt been moving forward of late. lets hope new show means new ideas.

How about some answers then?

Would you want me, Dave and Rachel with him on Breakfast?

Would you want R1 to keep Chappers and Matt or bring George over?

Would you want the tedious link? A new feature? Or how about a Tedious hour maybe?

If you really want Radio 1 back to where you believe it should be (there's not much support on these boards for Sara I notice) who would you put your most trusted show to to bring in the ratings and produce true class radio?

If you were in charge of Radio 1 would you really put Colin and Edith and Moyles on your two top slots? Isn't there a fear it would be too samey?

** management do not waste their time talking to me about ideas so don't worry I'm not revealing anything in these questions - I don't know anything - I'm just genuinely interested in your opinions **

[MC]

Or how about a Tedious hour maybe?

No you're alright Aled, we can get 3 of those by tuning into Coxy <bur dum tish>

Would you want me, Dave and Rachel with him on Breakfast?

Would you want the tedious link?

yes
chappers and george/matt (not arsed)
yes

If you really want Radio 1 back to where you believe it should be (there's not much support on these boards for Sara I notice) who would you put your most trusted show to to bring in the ratings and produce true class radio?

obviously Chris

If you were in charge of Radio 1 would you really put Colin and Edith and Moyles on your two top slots? Isn't there a fear it would be too samey?

don't quite know what you're trying to say there but I would give afternoons to Scott Mills as after god knows how many years on earlies and fill ins he's earned it....

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

colin an edith arent the same as moyles though unless you mean putting two good people on is a risk. chappers is a legend keep him on.....

a fundamental overhaul of the choice of music would also help... we can but hope.

[Matt]

Don't think anyone's asked if Dave will remain on the show?

[MC]

he said today that he is but I think it was obvious he would anyway...

[Matt]

Aah, I didn't hear a lot of today's show.

[Aled]

That's not going to change with the presenters. That's to do with the music dept and would go for all presenters whatever order they're in.

OK Aled, here are my opinions then.

I'd certainly like you and Dave to join him, Rachel hasn't really distinguished herself enough yet for me to form a fair opinion.

Transfer George over, if she'd be willing, and definately get rid of Chappers. Him and Dave together are ok in moderation but not all the time.

Tedious hour is what we've got at the moment, the only reason it doesn't work that well is because of the dj, but maybe Chris can make it work.

Having Chris on the breakfast show is a good move by management, it will certainly increase the ratings, but for those of us who like to listen to all of Chris' show, not just dip into it like most breakfast listeners would, having it start at an earlier time slot is annoying.

What's wrong with having things too samey. If people like it then why not. I'd much rather listen to djs who I like rather than one who I have to switch off as soon as they come on.
