1xtra/Asian network do some shows from there. I suppose my point is Birmingham is statistically where most the Target Audience is for Radio 1. Considering the BBC’s want to represent and have voices across the UK, might be nice to have one show on national radio broadcast from there. Not just ship everything to Salford and give opportunities to other areas.
Appreciate newsbeat is there but I’m not sure that’s enough IMO.

Vick & Jordan had a “At Home” debrief podcast on BBC Sounds which has been rebranded with the new trio and a 10 minute intro episode has appeared today.
Katie confirms she was asked to join the show while on her holiday the week before last (so after Jamie was announced).
Jamie also didn’t know the show was the second biggest on the station, what time it started or the concept of RAJAR….

I think that just about sums up his credentials. Not absolutely a requirement but usually the DJs who have an encyclopedic nature about radio make better radio.

I'm guessing that
www.bbc.co.uk is PR defence of Jamie becoming a presenter on drive time.
Formerly 'Charlie Wells' of TV Forum.

A post from Charlie Hedges on Instagram that uses BBC Radio 1 Dance X branding. Is this something to denote partnership events or something newer to Radio 1?

When Greg James lay down the challenge Radio 4 answered. Nobody calls Caroline Nicholls a chicken.

Nice of Greg to give Radio 4 some content on a day when they can't talk about politics #OneBBC
