Christmas Schedule 2014


OohErr

Recommended Posts

About a month away, has the Christmas schedule been announced yet?

My (comprehensive) predictions:

Last year Greg was in Australia, so didn't do any radio over the Christmas period, but I think he's in the country this year, so hopefully he'll be back to the tradition of doing Christmas Day breakfast (even more hopefully with Chris Smith, although he does have a young family). Scott on breakfast between the 22nd and the 24th (also, it will be 5 years since Chappers left on the 24th- he's now been off the show for as long as he was on it). Also Greg will probably be the only live show Christmas day, and won't do any other shows until Monday 5th Jan (although I'd like to hear him with on Breakfast a bit more during that period, just to see what a Greg James Breakfast Show could sound like)

I reckon Dev will feature heavily in the schedule, because he takes any work thrown at him! Also, Alice Levine, bit of Jameela, and I think this will be Phil Taggart's year for Christmas cover. A lot of pre-rec as well, the usual Big Weekend/Teen Awards highlights.

So, we have...

Monday 22nd December - Wednedsay 24th December

0400 Adele Roberts

0630 Scott Mills

1000 Alice Levine

1300 Matt Edmondson

1600 Dev

Thursday 25th December

0600 Greg James (with Chris Smith?)

1000 Pre-rec Phil Taggart

1300-1900 Pre-rec Big Weekend highlights

Friday 26th December

0400 Adele Roberts

0630 Dev

1000 Jameela Jamil

1300 Phil Taggart

1600 Pre-rec Teen Awards highlights with Matt Edmondson

Saturday/Sunday 27th/28th December

0600 Dev

1000 Phil Taggart

1300 Alice Levine

1600 Danny Howard/Chart with Jameela

Monday 29th December-Friday 2nd January

0400 Adele Roberts

0630 Dev

1000 Alice Levine

1300 Phil Taggart

1600 Matt Edmondson

Those are my comprehensive predictions, any thoughts? Let's see how accurate we are.

He's drivetime show presenter at Rock FM in Lancashire also former student radio DJ. In his soundcloud page he has some bits from his show, have a listen https://soundcloud.com/01_jnorth

Wow, had a quick listen- I'm impressed. The accent is a tad irritating, but I got over Coxy, I can get over his. I hope that the good stuff he's doing on commercial radio transfers well to Radio 1, it never really worked with Pete Allison (plus I couldn't deal with him using the name "Pete Allison's Early Bit"- shameless rip off of The Saviour himself). Looking forward to hearing him over Christmas.

Also, devastated that Greg's not doing Christmas Day breakfast anymore- he really loved doing that show, and as much as I love Scott, I think that as the most established person on Radio 1, he shouldn't have to work over Christmas, he can never really be bothered with those shows anyway.

Over the last few days, Scott has confirmed that he and Chris are doing the Christmas Day breakfast show. I'd also imagine they'd be doing the rest of the week like last year. Also, today (Saturday 29 November) Phil Taggart who is in for Alice said he was the 'Christmas temp of Radio 1' although no mention of particular shows just yet.

Heard Greg saying earlier this afternoon that he wanted to do Christmas breakfast this year, and he asked if he could, but wasn't allowed as punishment for being on holiday this time last year. Shame, it was a great tradition.

I heard the same! I also heard the phrase, "Screw you, management". Nice man.

Huw's a strange choice to be on that week, and the week before, now he's strictly specialist. I'd assume he'll be running down the Sound of 2015 list, but still, he doesn't need to do the whole show. I was expecting more Dev and Phil Taggart actually, and Matt Edmondson's not on at all over the festive period. Weird Scott's not having any time off as well, he hasn't been on holiday for a while (apart from the Strictly training). For that second week of January, I would've liked to hear someone else on breakfast that doesn't normally cover it, like Greg James or Matt Edmondson. Oh well, Scott Mills FM it is. Better make the most of it, could be his last Christmas...

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
