Fantasy Christmas Schedule 2018

Recommended Posts

Almost time people it's creeping up and every year when I purchase my Radio Times Christmas mega mag (only time I ever by a tv mag) I always check who's on R1 over telly instead. 

So this year has the potential to be quite different as for some reason I feel Scott is about to make the switch to R2 with the Evans situation. So it could look as follows:

Christmas Eve

4-6.30 Adele

6.30-10 Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James Live

10-1 Clara Amfo

1-4 Matt and Mollie 

4-7 Dev and Alice

Christmas Day

4-6 Adele Live

6-10 Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James Live Please I hope he gets it back he loved doing this show a few years back. 

10-7 Pre recorded stuff normally Artist Takeover? 

7-10 Radio 1 Movie Show With Ali Plumb looking back at 2018. 

Boxing Day

4-6.30 Adele 

6.30-10 Jordan

10-1 Clara on tape

1-4 Matt and Mollie maybe live?

4-7 Dev and Alice again maybe live? 

7-10 Movies with Ali Plumb looking forward to 2019.

Thursday 28th

Same as before only difference being 7-10 will be Annie Mac highlights.

Friday 29th 

6-10 either Katie & Cel or Will &Ariel

10-1 Maya Jama

1-4 Jordan 

4-7 Chart Of The Year with Scott

Saturday and Sunday only difference being 4-7 Dance Anthems on the Sat Life Hacks on the Sunday

New Year's Eve 

4-6.30 Will Best

6.30-10 Jordan

10-1 Nope sorry not sure here?

1-4 Matt and Mollie 

4-7 Dev

7-1 Jordan's New Year's Eve BANGERS this was great last year.

New Year's Day 

4-6.30 Will Best 

6.30-10 Jordan 

10-1 It's still open for debate

1-4 Arielle Free

4-7 Dev.

WHAT do you lovely lot reckon?

Hopefully we'll see the return of Greg's Christmas Day breakfast show - that was always something I looked forward to. I reckon we'll be hearing a lot of Jordan North again, Scott on breakfast for at least some of the time and maybe a bit of Dev and Jack Saunders. I doubt Alice would agree to work over the Christmas period though. Or Maya Jama. Maybe Molly King would though - that would be interesting. Arielle Free will probably pop up a fair amount, and maybe Will Best as well. I'd like to see someone from commercial radio get a shot at doing some early breakfast cover over the festivities - I'm a big fan of James Hall and I think Radio 1 would be fools not to sign him up. But that's a long shot.

I agree James Hall would be a good signing! I would love to see Jack Saunders on daytimes on the week between Xmas and New Year. I'm not that keen on Will Best but love Arielle Free and also enjoy Luke Franks so fingers crossed he covers again this year.

Also agree re. James hall, just listened to a bit of his capital shows from last week, and  he’s really good at getting his personality through despite the short links

Looking at the calendar, Christmas Eve and Day falls on a Monday/Tuesday so I can see it being Scott on Breakfast again for that week. I can see Will Best and ArIelle Free being used as cover on weekends, maybe Mollie King on her own and Katie & Cel doing solo covers and maybe some double shifts as well. Since New Years Eve/Day falls on the Monday/Tuesday I can't see a normal schedule return until the following week.

So for Christmas Eve I can see it being:

4-6:30am:  Arlee Free

6:30-10am:  Jordan North

10-1pm:  Mollie King (Would be good to try her out solo)

1pm-7pm: Scott & Chris Bangers (Pre-Recorded)

I can't see them splitting Matt & Mollie up. I think they will both be on together quite a bit I we Christmas but not separately. 

I'll probably be wrong though!

A few things that may happen. 

Firstly Greg has worked flat out since he started other than the Monday off for his wedding which probably means he will finish for the year on the 20th. (I hope I'm wrong)

Secondly with Dev moving across to weekend afternoon's with Alice I can see him covering over the festive period but not the same amount we usually see and not breakfast that will go to the likes of Jordan. 

Also Matt and Mollie will be on a lot don't think they will do Mollie on her own just yet?

One over was it my imagination or was Jordan live 4-7 Christmas Day last year?

So the first few point she of interest have been revealed in relation to Christmas from the BBCs Christmas Radio Highlights press pack. These are:

• Scott Mills will be hosting the Christmas Official Chart on Friday 21st (not unexpected)

• There will be a Ten Hour Takeover on Christmas Eve hosted by Scott and Chris (6:30 - 10), Clara Amfo (10 - 1), Arielle Free (1 - 4) and Jordan North (4 - 7). Surprised to see that Clara seems to be working over the Xmas period.

• Scott Mills will be Live on Christmas Day (6:30 - 10) as well as Jordan North (4-7). Annie Mac, The 8th and Jack Saunders Christmas specials follow this. Seems to be same schedule as last year? 

• Boxing Day will have the best Live Lounge replays all day. 

• Friday 28th will have the chart of the year from 1 - 6. This will be hosted by Alice and Dev (1-4) and Scott Mills (4-6)

• On New Years Eve, Arielle Free will be hosting from 5 - 9 and then Jordan North will be taking over. 

From this, I’m guessing that both Arielle and Jordan will be working a lot over Christmas. Also surprised that Alice and Clara are working as they normally take Christmas off!

    • Roman Kemp 😜 We don't know how Jordan is going to sounds on Capital.  It might not work as he will be restricted. Something that sounds good on paper doesn't always work out.  Not long ago Jordan was taking the micky out of Capital.  Can't do that now like he did at Radio 1 because the new place hate criticism.  I think Will was at radio 1 at one point wasn't he? 
    • Hats off to Chris for leaving a challenge for Greg.  To plan that out was great detailing and proves what a talented guy he is.  The post he posted on Instagram also links into it which is great to.  There is loyalty to Greg there so I don't think he's joining Capital.  Persephonica was looking for an 'experienced entertainment producer' a few months ago. I wonder if this is where Chris might be heading? 
    • Jordan North… Seriously though, out of the commercial stations I only really listen to Capital but I do think Will Manning is very strong (and could quite easily slot into R1). I also think Jimmy Hill is a very good commercial DJ (but probably wouldn’t be as good on R1).
    • First link made me blush 
    • Who do you think is the best commercial presenter? This is your view, doesn't have to be who has the most ratings 
    • Starting off strong. 
    • I remember Chase and Status being added to the line-up for Coventry after a drop out. At the time it seemed a bit random, but they seem massive again now!
    • That is a bit strange, yes. Fair point. Oh yes, I'd say both are equal. It's just they'll have been on Instagram for some time, whereas TikTok will have been a new addition in recent years, so something probably has to give. Us anoraks like to see Twitter as important, but I find myself putting much more time into those other platforms. Incidentally when I applied for a social job there probably four years back (wasn't successful!) I did say I thought the audience wanted more insight from the station rather than just content around the stars. I think they've moved a lot more in that direction, especially with the visualisation in the studio. You see more of Greg James than Harry Styles. I don't envy the PR machine at Radio 1 going straight from Mollie King's challenge to Big Weekend announcements without a break!
    • Since they starting the big weekend right at the end of Matt & Mollie’s show I expect they get to do the duties of opening up the festival.
    • Matt and Mollie and Sam and Danni have DJ sets on Friday of Big Weekend, still makes me think they are really keen to push both pairings in a hole left by Jordan.
    • Broadcast wise it’s going to be interesting to see how they handle the performances starting at the same time as the chart show.
    • Yes sort of, although it’s still weird that they tweeted when Mollie was halfway completed but did not do so when she crossed the finish line.
    • it would make sense to ensure both instagram and TikTok are treated as equals and kept in tandem as reels and downloads of instagram are growing when TikTok I think I’ve heard is stagnating.    I mean it makes sense to do less with Twitter or X as it has change. There has been a lot of change in how its run and operate with focus on making it a platform people pay for and its been volatile for advertising with lots of loss in paid promotions on the platform and the business worth has been waining and any communications and marketing for any business and organisations are seeing that
    • I feel like all ATB songs started with some sort of airport in their video
