Aren't Scott and Chris around the same age ? Chris had excellent ratings but supposedly didn't have his contract renewed because they wanted younger presenters. But even 4 years after that Scott is still at Radio 1 in a prime time slot. Any reason why ?

[rocka23]

Two words "Chris Stark" whilst Chris still peddled Comedy Dave Scott brought in young blood to replace Chappers and it's made him relevant to the youth of today again.

[Topher]

Also Scott's show has always been pretty childish - well, for a long time anyway - Scott hasn't done a decent show since he left early breakfast (it was really good on early breakfast).

[G-Sizzle]

Scott has an obvious connection with R1's target audience. Some Chris hasn't had for about 10 years

Chris was fired after revealing his tax dodge.

Have you heard Scott's show lately? Best show on radio one, probably better than Moyles. Chris Stark has done so much to the show.

Yup, this. Scott is the best broadcaster on the station.

[Evs]

Also, Scott was willing to swap timeslot. Chris would have been welcome elsewhere in the schedule.

Seeing as Chris Stark has been crucial to the continued success of Scott's show - how about having Toby Tarrant as part of Chris's team? They seem to get on, he seems up for a laugh in a way that Dave Masterman never was, and it would spread out the silliness between him, Dom and Pippa.

Just a thought.

[Frothy Bevvy]

Not sure Toby would be too pleased to become Chris's 'sidekick'. It's easy to become stuck in that groove. Also Global would likely be reluctant to move one of their up-and-coming show presenters into the wage bill of an existing show, having to fill the vacated show with another presenter.

[dinp]

Well let's see how this new producer beds in. I still think there's space (and a need) for another team member.

[PaulF]

Agreed dinp, I think we will have an on-air presence from this new producer and Matt will also stay on-air. Hope so anyway. May bring back the 'zoo' format.

So, I couldn’t find a better thread to post this in:

3 out of last 5 podcasts of the Scott mills show on R1 has had a pop at chris. Latest one is Chris Stark mentioned Moyles and and Scott’s like “who?” Then they talked about him ripping songs apart on air and all that.

So odd when they used to be pals.

[bmstinton93]

Yep I was going to post the same! I definitely feel like Scott doesn't particularly like Chris... In the same podcast however Chris Stark did say how much he enjoyed the Chris Moyles Show.

[Topher]

When Scott was on early breakfast (ironically when he was good), Chris used to take the piss out of him all the time (and Scott definitely alluded to that once or twice on air when he did it) - but I think that was more down to the fact that Chris always took the piss out of the early breakfast host - he mercilessly ripped Clive Warren too.

I just posted about this in the R1 birthday thread! Ugh, I hate the weird unspoken aggro that's developed between them.

[Trigger]

Scott was never breakfast show material. If he has any beef it should be directed at Grimshaw for being fast tracked to the hotseat. (not likely, bunch of suck ups!)

I hope Greg James gets unleashed next, I always want him to do well but he hasn't given me any reason to think of him at the helm, far too ordinary, probably end up doing a reggie and go round the world making documentaries about stuff like a poor man's Ross Kemp.

I don't think Mills was overly happy at swapping slot reading his book, however he embraced change and went with it and reinvented himself, and now is stronger than ever IMO and is definitely the best jock on the station, closely followed by Greg James - who should be on breakfast IMO and should have been put there after CM

Is it not right Moyles was in negotiations with BBC about another slot that never came to fruition ?

IIRC, Chris was offered late nights and declined.

Yes I seem to remember this as well, being offered what was effectively a swap with Grimmy

So back to Mills - what next for him ?

[ritchie]

Whatever people say, scott mills is still shit, just seems better as the other djs are far worse.

[Harry Briggs]

He’s off to Radio 2 when the next permanent slot comes I think. Radio 1 can’t be in a rush to get rid of him. He sounds young, is dedicated, is the best presenter on the station, works with younger Chris Stark and radio 1 have no upcoming big talents to replace him.

[Leverest]

Would have thought the next R2 slot will go to Sara Cox? or Trevor Nelson?
This has to be either Ken Bruce or Steve Wright retiring or at least winding down to weekends only

Both Ken and Steve will be around for a long long time in their current slots. Both pull in great figures. My bet (I've said this before) is Evans leaving breakfast and Sarah Cox getting the gig full time.
