  1. A few schedule changes over the bank holiday weekend and into next week

    Friday 18 April

    1600-1900: Dev in for Greg

    1900-2100: B Traits in for Annie Mac

    2100-2300: Danny Howard in for Pete Tong

    Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 April

    1000-1300: Phil Taggart in for Matt Edmondson

    Monday 21 - Thursday 25 April

    1900-2100: Huw Stephens in for Zane Lowe

  2. I fully agree with the last post. Chris Smith and Greg's partnership is like bread without butter, Scott without Chris Stark and Ant without Dec. Greg's show particularly between 1700-1830 are on form. They have me in stitches every time!

  3. I guess he finds it difficult trying to match the afternoon show's top quality with the constant reminders of Newsbeat. Personally I think there is too much news between 0630-0930. The only real break that Grimmy or Scott get is between 0830-0930. If you think about it, there is always 2 songs after the news which average 8 mins then 2 before the news which also average 8 mins leaving DJ's a similar amount of time to talk and do their features

  4. Other schedule over the next couple of weeks include:

    Monday 7 April

    2100-2200: There is a BBC Radio 1 documentary all about the Scottish Independence referendum where Shona Summers meets 16 and 17 year olds eligible to vote and Jim Taylor (Newsbeat's politics reporter) oversees a debate on the subject. Both YES Scotland and Better Together will provide the debate.

    Saturday 12 April

    1000-1300: Phil Taggart in for Matt Edmondson

    1900-2100: DJ Target in for Mistajam

    2300-0100: Cameo in for DJ Target

    Sunday 13 April

    1900-2100: Phil presents the show solo

    Monday 14 April

    1900-2100: Huw Stephens in for Zane Lowe (all week)

    2200-0000: Phil Taggart presents the show solo

  5. Gemma is in for Fearne Monday to Wednesday this week (1000-1245)

    Rockwell is in for B Traits on Tuesday (0200-0400)

    Matt is in for Scott on Friday (1300-1600)

    B Traits is in for Annie Mac on Friday (1900-2100)

    Toddla T is in for Skream on Friday (2300-0100)

    Phil Taggart is in for Huw on Saturday (1300-1600)

  6. Well done to him! His shows are sounding much better than this time last year. I don't agree with the comments saying that a new production team is needed as Matt, Fiona and Ian are doing just fine. I think they need to improve their features though.

    Just out of interest, when does Scott's contract expire? I really hope that R1 bosses have the sense to give him at least a two year extension!

  7. There's a few other schedule changes for this coming week also.

    Monday 24 February

    2200 - Phil Taggart presents the show solo

    Wednesday 26 February

    1900 - Daniel P Carter sits in for Zane.

    2200 - Alice Levine presents the show solo

    Thursday 27 February

    1300 - Matt Edmondson is in for Scott

    Friday 28 February

    2300 - Toddla T is in for Skream

  8. I've never quite understood why the Breakfast show has so many people working on it. It has Nick (obviously), Matt, Fiona, Ian and Amy (the TA) plus a newsreader. It was exactly the same when Moyles hosted it. Moyles, Dave, Rachael, Aled, Matt and 2 newsreaders.

    I also don't understand Ian's role on the show. Most days he strolls in at 0830 except when Matt or Fiona are absent meaning he is there from 0630. Does he work behind the scenes on other daytime shows?

  9. The MailOnline have an article today claiming that the average age of listener at Radio 1 is still 32 despite the station making radical changes to lower the average age. Ben Cooper admits that it is concerning but essentially cannot "make people stop listening" This prompts the question of what more can be done to lower the average age?

  10. I've just watched all of Greg's show and thought it was great! However, I'm gutted that I'll only be able to catch the last 10/15 mins of Scott's show tomorrow afternoon. I hope that the Radio 1 website will have some sort of highlights package in addition to The Scott Mills Daily.

  11. Listeners will hear Scott across 3 different shows this Tuesday (4 February). He will play an Access All Areas special of Call or Delete on The Breakfast Show from 8 then present his own show from 1-4 before finally taking part in Ask the Nation with Greg from 4:45

  12. I think Grimmy's listening figures will be in the region of around 5.7 million. His shows are sounding a lot better than this time last year but I think the public are still mourning the departure of Moyles and the team.

    Overall, I think R1 will be up on this time last year at around 11 million. The station are planning big things this year with AAA (Access All Areas) starting on Monday and running throughout the month of February and the Big Weekend in Glasgow in May.

    R2 will still be the biggest listened to station. On occasion, I have listened to Chris Evans and I really love the idea of his show: A mix of news and music to suit all the family. Whereas R1 only caters for "the kids" like me.
