Radio 1 Schedule Changes

Getting known names on weekend presenting roles is nothing new although I think this monthly double act with Matt is a good way of radio 1 seeing what known names also make good radio presenters and how the audience warm to them through these taster shows. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see one of the names lined up to present with Matt his year,  getting their own show in the future.

Maya's link into the news just now:

HAIM - The Wire is interrupted before the end with the news jingle. No comment from Maya. No back announcement of the song. A few seconds of the news jingle. She eventually speaks and says "it's time for Newsbeat with Hannah Morris". 

So not only did she screw up the backtiming, crash the song with the news jingle and forget to announce the name of the song or trail ahead - she managed to get the name of the newsreader - the same newsreader she's already introduced twice today without incident - wrong. 

I've gotta stop posting about Maya Jama. It's a problem. Promise this is the last one. It was just quite funny.

It's Molly King's last show with Matt today (shame), he just said that it's Example from next week. Wasn't it supposed to be Scarlett Moffatt next? I think she's doing a show on Heart over the bank holiday weekend, so maybe that's got something to do with it?

Delighted to see Jordan covering Greg. Long over-due. Him and Alice are just a million times more entertaining than Dev.

Have to agree Jordan has brought some fresh energy into covering Greg's show and is more in tune with the usual style of programme.

I think Jordan may well take breakfast once grimmmy leaves 

This would be good but surely he's too much of an unknown and it's probably too early in his career. Although I'm assuming Grimmy goes some time soon. He could still be around for Radio 1's 100th birthday.

Phil Taggart also sounding good in for Annie Mac tonight :)

I'm glad he seems to be out of the cold at last.

Right, this is very random but I was thinking earlier that since the rest of the weekend schedule has had a refresh, I think the Sunday evening one really needs one so I think it really should be like this: 

4:00 Life Hacks with Katie and Dr Radha (continues until 7, get rid of the awful Most Played Chart and also get rid of Cel)

7:00 Radio 1’s best of the week with Scott Mills (would also be like a request show type thing, could then get rid of the Greatest Hits show as they would be on this show)

9:00 Rock Show (Doesn’t need to be in such a prominent slot and doesn’t need to be as long)

11:00 Phil Taggart (Like his show currently is, just slightly shorter)

This would also line up with the rest of the week. Any suggestions welcome?

What I’d do is give Jordan North both Greatest Hits shows, and move Maya Jama to a new Sunday 7-9 slot. Totally agree with you about making the rock show 9-11 and Phil Taggart 11-1.

 

It’s got to the point where it seems as though Phil doesn’t really know what to do with the last hour of the show. When he first took the show over the last hour was mellow music like the first two hours. But then around the time he lost his old Thursday 9-10 show the last hour of the Sunday one just strangely derailed into rock and alternative which really didn’t seem appropriate under the title “The chillest show on planet Earth”. I can only assume that move was to compensate for his lost airtime on a Thursday where he’d normally have played that music, because when the Specialist Chart came into existence last year the final hour returned to something of a more mellow theme, albeit not quite as much as 10-midnight.

I hope so, Dev is boring. Jordan did the end of year chart as well so at least he has done it before!

Whats suprising about this is that Scott is not filling in now hes the new host - and Jordan doing his show or earlies to allow Adele to do 1-4 

Now that the changes have been announced, perhaps they want to keep Scott off the chart until he officially takes over. He'll probably have some new imaging to play with too, which will be a shame as I like the current chart imaging.

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
