  1. Zane Lowe to leave Radio 1, Annie Mac to take over.

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    Wow. This news both surprises and baffles me. Surely Radio 1 should be making changes before all the usual presenters get back around Christmas time, so they're all ready for the new year (Jan 1st). Sporadically announcing "Jameela is being replaced", "Scott might leave", "Zane is leaving", "Phil is getting more airtime", etc seems strange.

    It's nice to keep it fresh though, and while I respect the Radio 1 Gods (aka Ben Cooper and co.) decision, I feel it was a bold (see what I did there?) move.

    RIP Zane Lowe, Radio 1 Presenter / Future Apple Employee. You will be sadly missed by all.

    In fairness it seems JamEela and Zane both chose to leave for their own

    seperate reasons.In fact Jameela might come back one day

    Really sad that Zane is going, his show is one of the best around and his interviews are one of a kind, particularly Jay Z, Kanye, Eminem, Rick Rubin and Chris Martin, such ease during his interviews and doesn't use prompts, just his memory. Also his masterpiece series is pretty incredible, definitely pushing the boundaries of radio by playing out entire albums on air.

    Really excited for Annie's new show though, she'll be a brilliant replacement, it will be interesting to see what she does though with some of the features. I was quite surprised she took it though considering her busy DJ career which has extended to America now.

    Super happy for Phil though, he really needed more than 1 hour a week, particularly as one of the best specialist DJ's on the station.

    I don't think Scott is going anytime soon, I think we still have 1-2 more years of him on the station, I think he might make it to 20 years on Daytime. (Does anyone know the record for longest daytime DJ?)

    I think that would be Simon Bates who did the mid morning show for 16 years from 1977 to 1993.

  7. Dev in for Scott

    Also, what's with the weeks schedule. Monday, Scott was on, then Tuesday and Wednesday, Dev was in for him cause he was doing strictly. Thursday, he was back and Friday Dev was on again. Is this gonna happen until he gets booted off strictly. What I suggest happen, is that Scott does Drive and Greg does Afternoons. That stops Dev doing a full week shift and allows scott to train and do the radio show on the same day.

    I think Scott is using up all his remaining holiday leave while he's on Strictly.Dev seems to be doing well on his current stint in for Scott.Getting on well with Chris.Chris and Scott aren't seeing too much of each other these days are they!

  8. Scott Does Strictly

    A shame it's his last day for a while, I kinda feel sorry for dev as hes been wheeled out all the time, as well as continuing his weekend show.

    dont worry.im sure Dev is very happy picking up all those pay cheques!..and even happier not to be on early breakfast anymore!

    PS Scott is back on Tuesday October 7

  11. Dev Covering more often

    The current breakfast show is alright , for the 20 minutes I've got it on from 7 til about half past, its good, especially the waking up song, a lot of laughs in that part! Dev and Matt are a good way to start the weekend. Greg's show is very good at the minute, good segments recently included, The Great British Cheeseboard and the Tiny Celebrity Party (Reminds me of Diddy Dick and Dom from years ago)

    I don't think there'll be any major changes to the schedules for a while yet.I think Grimmy will stay on breakfast for maybe another 3 years,Fearne seems to love doing her show and she's a big star so they won't get rid of her,and Greg is here to stay too.I hate to say it but if there are any changes it's more likely to be Scott that's moved than anyone else,just because he's been there so long.I do think there's a good chance that Dev will get a weekday slot though.its between him and Matt

    PS now I've said that Ben Cooper will probably announce a massive reshuffle tomorrow lol

  12. What Will Scott Do After His Contract Ends Next Year?

    in BBC Radio 1

    That's silly. Considering the amount of preparation it takes for a show, would you really expect Scott to do six a week? Plus, when would he have time to do stuff to actually talk about on air? Then, why would R1 want an older outgoing DJ to more shows per week, displacing a younger DJ on his way up to just one show a week? That would never happen.

    Plus Moyles only did the Saturday show because his weekday show was just 4-5.45.As soon as he got an extra hour he gave up the Saturday show

    I think the contract ends early next year. He might well have been hinting he's leaving with the whole last play of World Cup/ Christmas song thing but I'll think he'll stay but he's over 40 and if what they wanted with moyles is true he might go.

    I actually think he'll agree to swap with Matt and move to weekends so he can focus on TV projects and do the Strictly tour !

  16. Even more music month

    It's good that the specialist shows are 3 hours instead of 2 I guess but I was sad to see nihal and rob da banks shows go.huw Stephens us finally in a slot that suits him.i hope he focuses on new music from now on and doesn't waste his time doing any more daytime stuff
