  1. Seems like they planned to leave Katie in her weekend slot with Nat and Vicky taking weekend afternoons. Obviously they've changed their mind and now have a huge gap in the 1-4 weekend slot. Bit of a mess with how it's all been announced but really glad Katie and Matt and Mollie will be on weekdays.
  2. Seems inevitable that once Greg goes, it will either be Jordan & Mollie on breakfast with Vick & Katie on drive or else Jordan & Katie on breakfast with Vick & Jamie on drive. Think the second option would make more sense. I really like Mollie but think a lot of that's down to how good her and Matt are together. Also, she's not exactly the future of the station and it seems a risk to put an unfamiliar duo on breakfast full time. The shows with Jordan this week have been solid but sound a bit forced. Jordan and Katie are so brilliant together and have a genuine friendship so they seem like the obvious choice but who knows.....
  3. This week's schedule with Sam & Danni on EB, Jordan and Katie on breakfast, Vick and Jamie on Drive and Jack Saunders on Future Sounds definitely feels like a trial run for a post-Greg schedule. Does seem a bit of a waste developing the Vick and Jordan partnership for years and then having to split them up. Also, I find the schedule a bit too duo-heavy sometimes, think Jordan would be a perfectly good breakfast host by himself and then put Katie with Vick on Going Home.
  4. Still think Vick and Jordan will get breakfast when Greg goes - it's nearly 20 years since there was a female presenter on breakfast. I just feel like Jordan's at his best on his own or with Katie, the partnership with Vick is like a 70% version
  5. Have heard quite a bit of Evana and Conor and been quite impressed. They managed to get some personality into the short links, which isn't easy. And big forum brownie points for pretty faultless Newsbeat intros!
  6. My choice would be Matt and Mollie - best way to help soften the blow of Scott going and already seem popular with the audience. Think they could do great things with that slot. Katie and Dean aren't an established enough duo to take over a slot as big as Scott's I don't think. M&M to afternoons, Katie to Fri-Sun afternoons and Jack on the chart. With Sam & Danni taking over Life Hacks maybe. If it's not Matt and Mollie, it should be RMC. With Katie taking over mid mornings.

    RAJAR Q4 2018

    I agree it's a better marker but Radio 1 is still down year on year. 9.8 million in Q4 2017 down to 9.3 million in Q4 2018.
  8. I think she'd be great on the 10am show if Clara or Maya leave.
  9. Heart have already announced the replacement for Emma - it's Lucy from the Drive show.
  10. Red Nose Day is still 2 months away so it seems bit early for an announcement on that? I could be wrong though and they're planning a major challenge that's worth a big build up
  11. Well Scott has just said it's definitely not Big Weekend or Innuendo Bingo coming back. I'm getting nervous now that it could be what we're all dreading haha
  12. Very interesting move from Radio 1. Quite bold for them to go for big names from the commercial radio world instead of recruiting someone younger and more unknown. Rickie, Melvin and Charlie are clearly ratings winners so I'm sure the show will be a success and they'll probably be able to push the boundaries and do something very different to what they were doing on Kiss.
  13. I think you're reading into it way too much. He's only in the door 5 minutes! Realistically, he's in there at night so has probably only gotten to know the night time DJs properly so far. I've also noticed there's been a lot less of presenters appearing on other people's shows in general recently. You used to have other DJs appearing on Real or no Real with Scott or Rage Against the Answer Machine with Greg but there's much less of that now so kind of difficult for Jack to get exposure like that. I don't think he's comparable with Jordan, who is a daytime DJ and used to always be on during daytime at the weekend as well as covering early breakfast and Drive so there's much more room for crossover with the other presenters and for them to hear him. I doubt a lot of the R1 presenters are listening at 11pm so they might not have heard much of Jack yet.
  14. Mine would be: 1. Scott Mills 2. Greg James 3. Jordan North (when covering shows, not on Greatest Hits) 4. Nick Grimshaw (think his new show is bringing the best out of him) 5. Annie Mac 6. Radio 1's Chillest Show with Phil Taggart 7. Adele Roberts 8. Jack Saunders 9. Katie Thistleton (when covering on her own, not with Cel) 10. Maya Jama
  15. Exactly and she deserves more prominence than the early breakfast show usually gives her. I'd have no objection to Jordan covering Clara whatsoever but Adele is full-time and he only does one show a week usually so R1 probably feel like they have to make her the main cover. I do like getting to hear Adele during the daytimes too, she's a great presenter.
