Always wanted to know something about the show? This is the place to 'Ask Aled'!

Aled wrote:If you were to say that age is 8 year's old and we were to play a whole half hour from 1989 that's 20 years ago (about to be 21) which would mean you would have to be 29 to appreciate that music. That's not the music policy of a young people's radio station!

The 9:30 - 10 half hour goes further back because the idea is that there'll always be iconic songs that you'll know of before you're born. One off of those is obviously fine, but not whole half hours.


Just on this as you point out when discussing the RAJARS the school/work run is your audience...The Golden Hour takes place at 9 therefore couldn't you be a little more flexible as I'd assume your audience's average age between 9 an 10 is a lot older than between 8 and 9.

Anyway I was actually going to ask about 'Bullyproof' and other BBC campaigns, which are fine and obviously done to justify the stations PSB credentials. There all sorts of rumours about what a Conservative government might want to do with the BBC.

However I did find the shoe-horning in of 'bullying' stories into the news a little unnecessary...I think only the floods knocked it off the top story, when for instance on Thursday you had a bomb in Peshwar.

These surveys etc aren't really headline news and would surely be better placed at the end of the bulletin especially when there is real news around. Or is it thought the audience just doesn't have the attention span to concentrate until the end of Dom's news before being 'woken up' by the sport 'sting' (or what ever it's called) :wink:

Who decides the running order of the news is it a decree from on high?

Obviously one day the show finish and replaced by a new host, who on the current roster would you like to see take over the slot? Greg, Vernon, Fearne, or someone else? And would you work with them or move onto wherever Chris went?

Cheers Aled :)

Is the cheesy song staying/getting another remix? If its going, will there be a new song in its place?

NO, DON'T KILL OFF THE CHEESEY SONG!

The cheesy song is one of the best bits! I usually get woken up by the dulcet tones of whomever sings the song in the morning cos of the boyfriend going to work early.

And I am another of the "sit-on-the-train-laughing-lunatics" - especially on Wednesdays.

That would be Rod McKenzie - head of Newsbeat and his deputies. I don't work in News so don't know the reasons.

What I DO know however that for all the good The Surgery does (and I'd like to think is a lot) the Newsbeat bulletins reach mutliple times the audience so when they do run stories on bullying they are very very effective.

dimtimjim wrote:So, come on then Aled, what happened to Debora from this mornings interview?! We we're told she arrived, then she wasn't mentioned again, wassup?


Both her and I agreed it best she didn't come on, Jon was doing an excellent job of talking about the show.

Quincy wrote:also i cant really work it out but are you the producer now?? what does that rachel woman do? you have came a long way from BB Aled (i do miss dave pearce though)


Lol, that IS a long time!

Rachel and I have a unique job - it's one job shared over two people. Rach and I are in constant conversations about all aspects of the show. The reason for this is that 1 person cannot produce the show when they start at 4:30am because most meetings, pr companies and people work a 10am - 6pm day. For that reason we've always had a show producer and a day producer.

I've been the day producer for a few years with Rach on show duties, at the moment it's the other way around. So Rach's day starts at 10am but sometimes she comes in earlier and takes part with the on-air side.

Seriously, am I going to answer that? :) lol

This is no politician's answer I promise... it depends on when we go and why. Each of the candidates have their own strengths and weaknesses. We don't know what the reason would be why we left whenever it happened so pointless me saying who I'd like.

Why is no-one considering the fact it may be from outside of Radio 1?

Seeing them both on Something for the Weekend, it was probably better that just Jon was on, he's far more interesting.

"chrismoyles.net can exclusively reveal Johnny Vaughan is being lined up to take over, he's exactly the young dynamic broadcaster BBC management believe can prevent the breakfast show haemorrhaging more listeners."

i'm sure aled could verify this. it was on the show that it was said dave writes the links for cpc. and roy comes in monthly. chris has no knowledge and ad-libs the feature.
the process for getting on cpc is go tothe chris moyles pages at radio 1 ONLINE at bbc.co.uk/radio1 and click on the cpc icon
