It’s a perfect fit, she’s always been passionate about new music
-
An hour in and it’s such a fun listen, Vick and Jordan have great chemistry, the links feel fresh and completely right for 2021, and there’s plenty of listener interaction. It’s a 10/10 from me.
I definitely think they will be the next hosts of the breakfast show whenever that may be.
-
I enjoyed RMC’s first show, it definitely feels like there’s much more fun in the show than previous mid-morning shows on R1.
-
R1 now has an official WhatsApp for shoutouts etc, Greg just revealed just after 9, it’s the studio phone number 03700 100 100

Tomorrow begins easily the biggest schedule change since Greg and Grimmy swapped, and considering the breadth of the change, even though breakfast stays the same, maybe an even bigger change.
Lots to talk about and lots to listen to tomorrow, who’ll be listening, and what are we most looking forward to hearing?
I thought it would be good to have a dedicated thread for us to give our thoughts on the new shows over the next few days/weeks and beyond!I’m excited for the new era, it feels massive and I think it’ll go very well.
I’m most looking forward to drivetime with Vick and Jordan, from what I’ve heard it sounds like it will be a really fun listener-centric show, they’ll have a quiz of some form, a requests feature, and an item called “Going Home Headlines” where listeners can text in about anything they have done earlier in the day and Vick and Jordan will make a mock news bulletin about the listeners.
RMC on mid-mornings is an interesting choice but I’m sure it’ll be a very good listen.
Clara hosting Future Sounds is a great fit for her, as she has a passion for new music, and the new “Hottest Records of The Week” on Monday nights sounds like a brilliant idea.
-
I’m excited to hear the first show tomorrow. I have a great feeling it’s going to be very modern and fresh, whilst still retaining the sense of fun that Radio 1 has become known for.
-
I agree, it makes it easier to promote and stand out from other Radio 1 output

-
My guess is that the title will be the main vocal on a custom imaging package for the show
-
BBC Sounds is calling Jordan and Vick’s drive show “Going Home with Vick and Jordan on Radio 1”, that’s going to have a rather long ID then

Time flies.
I first heard Grimmy when he took over the breakfast show in September 2012, which coincided with me listening to daytime Radio 1 much more than I had done previously. I was initially skeptical, as he was replacing Chris Moyles, who was the DJ that sparked my interest in radio, but over the years, my appreciation of Nick has grown as I've listened more and more and his show is a really enjoyable listen.
In retrospect, Grimmy's fresh sound was exactly what Radio 1 needed at the time in order to revitalise the station and put the pulse of modern music culture back into the breakfast show.
I'll be sad to see him go, as his time on Radio 1 has soundtracked an important time in my life, but I'm also excited to hear the new era of the station.

Great to hear, Scott’s show is on top form at the moment, the pandemic allowed him to excel at providing a great distraction from the rest of the world.
-
Last night’s penultimate show was a brilliant listen, with Grimmy and Annie essentially hosting a two hour nostalgia trip.
Last show starting in a few minutes, and it really feels like the end of an era, as Annie’s show has introduced me and many many others to loads of new music over the years.
I’m sure Clara will do a great job at championing new artists on Radio 1, and I’m excited to hear the new era of the station.

Well he'll definitely be out before the weekend, Friday is his last show before he goes on holiday for a couple of weeks
The other similar events in the past took around two days to complete, but this may be longer due to travel time between relevant locations
-
It was all a trick!
Greg has to escape from the campervan, which will travel around the country to find clues hidden in the real world, and therefore I've changed the thread title to reflect this

For 4 weeks from Monday 9th August there will be 2 fewer shows per day Monday-Thursday, as follows:
10.30-14.00 Adele Roberts
14.00-18.00 Nick Grimshaw for the first week, Scott for the rest
18.00-21.00 Future Sounds - interim presenter TBC
21.00-00.00 Jack Saunders
Not sure if they will do something similar Fri-Sun, also not sure what's happening the week before from 2nd August as Annie has left by that point. So it looks like Clara's last mid-morning show and RMC's last evening show will both be on Thursday 5th August.
Also, Alex & Numi (August's Fri early brek presenters) are in for Arielle 9th-12th August.
Woah, this is like the 2020 modified schedule all over again, but at least it means Scott is back on drive (if only for a few weeks), and Grimmy gets extra long shows in his final week on R1, should be very fun!
-
Greg is on with Scott and Chris talking about it, and repeated what he said on Wednesday’s breakfast show, which is that he won’t know where he is until he opens the blinds live on air each morning
-
Thought I’d start a thread for this, as there’s not one already and it looks it’ll be a really fun listen.

Presumably it'll be more of a love-in at the end seeing as they chose to leave, less awkward than when you're told to leave
Looks like a co-host will happen before the end, going by the handover today

Who knows. He's well connected in the showbiz world, and of all the R1 DJ's that have left.. he's the one likely to branch out elsewhere.
Like Annie, it does sound like it was his decision not to renew his contract. I can see why.. he's took his show as far as he could go and he's going out on a (fairly) high... he's done the top gig with brekkie. I will actually miss him. 14 years is good going. Many of the general listenership tend to disagree but he was the right choice at that time for breakfast. I do think he is a genuinely funny and engaging broadcaster. I wonder if Annie leaving and Sinead leaving newsbeat played a little part in considering moving on. They're both a big part of his show.
Looking back, as much as I personally didn’t warm to Grimmy’s breakfast show when he took over from Moyles, as I was skeptical of change, it was the best possible move they could have made, and the resulting show suited its era of celebrity culture really well.
I’m actually feeling quite emotional tonight as it’s just sunk in that Radio 1 won’t be the same station it was when I was growing up, even though I’m only 18, and clearly still don’t like change
Saying that, Radio 1 has to evolve and I think these schedule changes will ultimately be seen as the start of a new era of the station in years to come

It's such an end of an era having Nick and Annie leave. Some of my favourite R1 memories are stories with those two, or at Glastonbury.
I wonder if he is going to change career - I believe wasn't it interior design or set painting which he was interested in?
I hope we get one final Annie and Grimmy co-host, as it would be the best way to end
-
Dean seems to me to be a proper Radio 1 nerd, so I’m looking forward to him getting a regularly scheduled show.
I’m hoping for a full revamp of the generic Radio 1 imaging in September.
I’d prefer if Greg’s imaging was kept, as I really like it, but I could also see it being updated.
I’d also imagine Vick and Jordan will get some custom imaging as well. -

6th September is quite late wouldn’t they start the week before after the bank holiday?
Not according to the press office tweet:
-
If Grimmy’s last drive show is 12th August and Vick and Jordan’s first is 6th September, then I’m going to assume we will have a few weeks with the so-called “B-Team” on weekday daytime in the gap?
It’ll be really weird to listen to the “new” Radio 1 in September with all of these changes, but hopefully everything goes smoothly

surprised they actually read that out given it mentioned the C word
