Everything Changes

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) ?

    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
    • Greg's shoe live and Jordan on catchup so can skip ads
