Alice is going solo on Friday before Arielle Free covers for them both on Saturday and Sunday. 

On Saturday as well, Asian Network Live takes place between 7 and 11pm.

the More I think about it the more it seems that Jordan will take over early breakfast at some point this year with Adele maybe taking his show 

I think Arielle might take it over at some point this year. Adele seems to have had quite a lot of time off recently unless she’s just saved up a lot of holiday leave and she’s using it all now.

I'm not sure Adele will go anywhere anytime soon actually - she's doing a really good job on that show, has really made it her own, and unlike most other people who do that slot, seems to love getting up at that time of day. Due to her age, earlies is probably the furthest her R1 career will go but I don't think there's any pressing need to take her off. After all the work Jordan's done, getting early breakfast world be a bit below him - when he does make daytime, he'll go straight to drive.  Arielle will probably get Jordan's show (and maybe Maya's too) - she's like him but earlier on in her career. She hasn't done any daytime cover yet IIRC.

Arielle will probaly get a shift in about two to three years maybe more just think how long it took Jordon to get weekends 

I really like her as a presenter. I don’t get why they don’t just say bye to Maya already she wouldn’t mind she’d be  doing loads more telly. 

As for Adele she’s getting towards Radio 2 or commercial. She takes holidays off really regularly. 

I want Jordon to take drivetime and Prehaps Arielle could have the early breakfast show.

Arielle is already in her 30s, surely Radio 1 should recruit younger people for brand new talent?  Totally agree with you about Jordan and drivetime.  With Maya the only thing I can say for her is she’s relevant at the moment, and that’s why she’s there.  She’s there to attract the target audience.

She’s doing fine, I agree, no rush to take her off.  But when some up and coming talent needs the slot, that’d be time for her to go.  I think because Arielle is already a similar age to the likes of Greg and Nick, she could get one of the weekend slots, but I doubt anything further than that.

I'd go for.

Mon-Fri (no more weekend on Fridays)

4am: someone new from student radio or somewhere like that

6:30am: Dev and Alice (for a couple years, temporarily before someone else can step up, they're much more on target than Greg, who sounds way dull for Radio 1 Breakfast these days, his drive show used to be brilliant, and while Dev and Alice are far from groundbreakingly amazing, it'd suit the audience with some good ideas, big branding and experienced production, and they might shine)

10am: Katie Thisleton (bang on target, fresh, would suit the format)

1pm: Cel Spellman (I know people aren't keen on here but i think he's got massive potential, and is bang on target for the audience)

4pm: Jordan North (deserves it massively)

could not agree more.  jordan should have had all three days from the start.

Jordon hands down is the next Scott.  He’s been slowly building up his rep as the R1 supply teacher and should be on daytime by now. When Scott leaves I want Jordon to have his show as I feel he’s a worthy successor

Jordan should get drive, he deserves a bigger slot than afternoons at this point.

In many ways you could turn out to be spot on about him being the next Scott.  He’ll probably get to drivetime straight from where he is now, and I doubt he’ll ever make breakfast, so his Radio 1 career could pan out similar, although I seriously doubt he’ll last 20 years.

Few schedule changes in the next few weeks: 

• Rickie, Melvin and Charlie begin on April 1st which means that this week is the last week of the 8th. 

• Arielle is in for Adele from the 1st to the 4th of April and Adele is in for Clara that week. 

• On the 8th April, Jordan is in for Grimmy and I’m guessing that’s all week. 

• Also that week, Phil Taggart is in for Annie (apart from Friday when it’s Danny Howard)

• Finally, on Friday 12th, Jordan is in for Maya.

Nope, I’m thinking he’ll take a holiday quite soon, maybe around Easter? He had quite a few holidays when he did drive so it does surprise me a bit. 

He'll probably have Easter off, Scott is not getting as much breakfast cover as he used to have, by default he has a bit recently with the Escape Room and Lolothon, but unlike Grimmy Greg is not one for dropping out after a heavy night with Miss Ora or Geldof - very reminiscent of Zoe and Saras partying days, I think he has shown for every drive show thus far apart from holidays 

Greg is very much like Moyles in that way where he wouldn't miss a show unless there was a Holiday or a crises (remember when him and his GF spit Sara stood in for a few days) 

Question on that front - did Scott ever cover for Moyles working with Aled, Dave and Dom ?

    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • 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.
