  1. Interesting that R1, 1Xtra and Asian Network have slightly different intro music. Trying to work out how it works - does the DJ’s intro effectively end at about x:30:00 and the bed itself played from Newsbeat?
  2. Clara to Future Sounds, RMC to 10am-1pm. https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2021/clara-amfo-host-radio-1-future-sounds
  3. Interesting that the Big Weekend won't go ahead at all, as opposed to it merely being postponed like most other things have been. Depending on how the situation unfolds over the coming months, I can see the Ibiza Weekend having the same fate unfortunately.
  4. Anyone heard any recently?
  5. It's funny, you tend not to notice era changes at Radio 1 until you see a list of names like that. I think the station's sounding really good at the moment. For me Greg and Grimmy are much better suited to their new timeslots. Nick's much more himself than he was in the structured format the old Breakfast Show was in, a decent listen. Greg makes Breakfast feel quite exciting and big budget, whist maintaining his trademark silliness. I wouldn't say Annie is new however. She started on air in 2004 (according to Wikipedia) and was on BBC Switch with Grimmy what seems like donkeys ago.
  6. Since posting that I haven't heard many other breakfast intros. I'm either missing them or they were just a trial.
  7. Anyone catch the Radio 1 Breakfast power intros today? Heard Little Mix, Halsey and a couple more. Sounded good.
  8. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06n2sl7 (about 14m in)
  9. Which of the beds are actually used? I never really take notice of them. The only one I can remember is Epic.
  10. Who doesn't love a montage. I've never heard that ident with the Dance Anthems theme/Ibiza anthem before. Was that ever used on air? EDIT: Ahh, I've found it - https://www.wisebuddah.com/archive/jingles/bbc-radio-1-2018
  11. It was. The new version is little less “harsh” on the ears.
  12. When did the countdown music change? I seem to remember on the first few shows that the beeps hadn’t changed but the rest of the beds had. Or I’m imagining it, which is possible.
  13. Annie’s Friday show is now ‘Radio 1’s Dance Party with Annie Mac’. I guess this all to make the shows stand out on the BBC Sounds app which has programmes and podcasts from across the BBC. Surprised Radio 1 Breakfast didn’t get the same treatment - Radio 1’s Breakfast Show maybe.
  14. Trying to work out what happened. 1Xtra seemed to get some element of the news at 12:45 which cut away to music after the Thomas Cook report. The online schedules show Newsbeat at 13:00 but the recording starts at 12:45 (causing initial confusion when trying to piece this together!). My theory is that at 12:45 both R1 and 1Xtra were due to fade up Newsbeat as usual. Radio 1's feed from Newsbeat failed (as they were on an OB) but it went out fine on 1X. Nesta McGregor could hear the output of R1 (which didn't have him faded up) and not 1Xtra so he kept repeating his opening line assuming no-one could hear him. 1Xtra got the word to cut away from Newsbeat after the Thomas Cook report and re-join at 13:00 instead along with Radio 1.
