So basically I kind of felt I had fallen out of love with Radio 1 about a year ago. Mainly because the playlist (most of it doesn't interest me. OMG I sound old I'm only 26 but I do have 3 children so I want to remain relevant) Blabbering on I know.

So obviously when Moyles left R1 I felt okay it's like loosing best mates. But I said Radio 1 is still Awesome. 

I love Greg,Scott, Matt and Dev and Zane. 

Greg I feel like most is now ready for Breakfast I love his Drive show. 

Mills obviously Legend and hats off to him for remaining relevant to the stations audience.  But can't help but think is his days on daytime numbered? 

Matt still enjoy his show I guess but every time I go to tune in at the weekend someone called Jordan North is on? 

Dev loved the weekend breakfast show at first and he still has a special place in my radio heart. But can kind of hear it in his voice he's ready to move on.

so next year it's the big one 50 years of the station we all love. Don't think they will be taking too many trips down memory lane.  Maybe just look to the future of Radio 1 Next Generation?

Greg James on Breakfast

Clara 10-1 

Matt 1-4

Alice 4-7

Weekends

6-10 Jordan North

10-1 Scott

1-4 Grimmy? If he wants to stay?

4-7 Well your guess is as good as mine? 

What does everyone think?

Yeah I think the above is more than likely something we'll be seeing sometime soon, but I'd love to see Dan & Phil return to radio 1 sometime soon as well as (everyone will kill me) Cel Spellman, his show has really grown on me lately and would really like to see him stay on either doing Sunday 4-7 or Saturday 4-7 too!

And, sorry @Jacob_, but you can't call yourself a fan of radio if Cel Spellman is the kind of person you'd give more airtime to....

 

I listen to 3 shows on Radio 1 every week, Scott, Alice & Cel, those are the shows that have great presenters and content at the moment, I know where everyone comes from with Cel but he always has something going on on his show! So I will not be persuaded otherwise on this matter.

I'm not sure at the above schedule and I will tell you why the main reason, the rumours about 1Xtra... If 1Xtra does get the chop then I can't see everyone from 1Xtra just being dumped, it would surely be practical to bring some of the presenters over to R1. So the question is that who would move and who would get the chop from R1/1Xtra?

I agree about Matt moving to Monday-Friday, 1-4pm, I think Scott's R1 days will start to end sooner than everyone would thought, Chris Stark will probably stay though. Clara I'm not sure about but she will most likely live on and so will Grimmy. I am however uncertain about Greg James, mainly because of the fact he is being linked to BT Sport's Australian Cricket coverage so he might end up leaving early as well.

For weekends, if 1Xtra does shut then I think it would be good the fill the weekend slot with 1Xtra presenters. I think Dev will go and be replaced by Ace and Nick Bright replaces Matt Edmondson in his 10am-1pm. I'm not sure about Alice because if Greg leaves then she would be in contention for replacing Greg, if she does go to weekdays then I think Adele will move to Alice's spot and Jordan North takes over the early morning show.

So at the moment I'm thinking... 4am-6:30am: Jordan North, 6:30am-10am: Nick Grimshaw, 10am-1pm: Clara Amfo, 1pm-4pm: Matt Edmondson, 4pm-7pm: Alice Levine

And on weekends.... 6am-10am: Ace, 10am-1pm: Nick Bright, 1pm-4pm: Adele Roberts, 4pm-7pm: (Sundays) ?

I'm not sure 1Xtra, the only diverse black programming across the BBC, will be closed. I'm all for it, actually, and think it's brilliant. The presenters are often better, kinder and more musically swotty than on R1.

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
