Katie is hosting Life Hacks solo for the next two weeks (7th and 14th Oct) while also covering for Jordan on the 7th. Jordan will be covering Grimmy's show on the 18th! Being waiting to find out who the main cover will be, reckon it'll be Jordan if Grimmy takes 1 or 2 days off, and Dev and Alice if he takes a whole week or two off.

Nick Bright is covering for Dev on The 8th on the 13th November. Matt Edmondson is in for Scott on the 21st November and from the 26th-29th. Mollie isn't listed presumably because Chris Stark will still be there and therefore there is no need to bring Mollie in with her. Also on the 25th, Cel is doing Life Hacks and Most Played on his own.

Lots of changes on Friday 30th:
Katie Thilslton in for Maya Jama 

Jordon North in for Scott Mills (Chart and Dance Anthems)

Danny Howard in for Annie Mac

Idris Elba in for Pete Tong (Idris did some dance shows on capital a few years back - I thought he was very good)
The Black Madonna in for Danny Howard (surprised it's not Monki)

I think it might be Alice because Matt did all the week before and his weekend shows would mean he would do lots of radio in a row and obviously they couldn’t have Dev and Alice because Dev is doing the 8th. 

I do wonder though why Jordan isn’t covering at all? He sounded good in the summer with Chris. He’s not covering the Greatest Hits when Maya is off either. I wonder if he’s getting a bit of time off before he probably does a show everyday round Christmas!

That is a move I did NOT see coming. A very bold move of Radio 1 to directly poach an entire commercial breakfast show. They're clearly not scared of Radiocentre anymore. And about time too. That's the third time they've taken from commercial radio this year (and the second time from Kiss). 

That said, I've never been hugely impressed whenever I've heard Kiss Breakfast. But we'll see.

I too am very surprised by this. The press realise doesn't mention that the show will be on 1Xtra either (as far as I can see). As Snoochie Shy is taking over 11pm-1am on 1Xtra maybe 1Xtra's current 11pm-1am shows will move to 9pm-11pm? Also it doesn't look like Snoochie's 1-3am Monday show is still happening either? 

I am looking forward to hearing Rickie, Melvin and Charlie on Radio 1 but I can't see them ever making daytimes as Rickie and Melvin are both 38.

Very interesting move from Radio 1. Quite bold for them to go for big names from the commercial radio world instead of recruiting someone younger and more unknown. Rickie, Melvin and Charlie are clearly ratings winners so I'm sure the show will be a success and they'll probably be able to push the boundaries and do something very different to what they were doing on Kiss.

Sideman in for Dev on the 8th tonight.

Caught some of Alix and Riyadh covering life hacks on Sunday, they weren't any better or worse than Cel and Katie tbh. There were a few creases that could easily be ironed out, but they generally sounded OK.

Whats the deal with Sideman, now that Charlie Sloth has disappeared in a puff of smoke? 

Does he have a permanent contract with R1? I just assumed he was paid freelance and would go with CS?

Sideman’s still part of ‘the 8th’ team. Not sure what his actual job is tho.

I bet he’ll be gone when Ricky Melvin and Charlie take over. Or rather they won’t ‘zoo format’ seeing as they are already 3 presenters there 

Sideman’s still got his 1xtra show as well so I think he might be a co-presenter then? Not sure

    • 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.
    • 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 🤣
