@eddemundo Thank you 👏🏼 👏🏼 That took some listening on Sounds to get that

Shanequa is on maternity leave.

Bit late to this, but went back and listened to most of the R1 Big Weekend. I like plotting out when the presenters come and go, and who's driving the desk etc.. Some of the specialist presenters missing were Alyx H, Kenny Allstar, Daniel P.C, and is Shanequa even with Life Hacks any longer, but was not there either. Driving the desk (from what it sounded like) FRI: Ricky, Matt, Sam, Danny, Jack SAT: Ricky, Sam, Matt, Jack, Sian SUN: Charlie H, Greg, Lauren Layfield, Arielle, Danny, Sian On R1Dance, FRI & SUN: Conor Coates; SAT: Martha Most of the main DJs on 2 to 3 days. 1 day appearances for Charlie T, Pete T, Benji B, Lauren Redfearn, Minah (does that count), Swarzy, Jessica I.

Wonder they haven't added Outkast Hey Ya for a laugh. Years ago you knew when Radio 1 was off air simply by hearing that alone.

It’s easy for us to complain about this kind of thing but shippp you correctly mention all the really strong presenters at the moment who have worked their way up. There’s loads of them, so I think the odd personality hire is not the end of the world. Aled’s thought process on this will be the following: 1) Jamie has a huge social media following which will draw listeners 2) 6 Degrees with Jamie & Spencer was consistently near the top of the under 35 bbc sounds listenership - so clearly (although I don’t get it myself) he really appeals to the target age demographic 3) I understand Newlyweds is super popular and so cross-listenership will be hoped for I agree Jamie (and that whole show now) is not my cup of tea but it’s appealing well to a demographic and to be honest us radio nerds are well catered for elsewhere on the schedule ie Greg, M&M, Sam & Danni, James, etc
