  1. Well this is interesting.. It's not unsual for there to be different presenters on Friday. Phil and Holly take Fridays off if you watch This Morning, Lorraine is pre-recorded on Friday, BBC Breakfast and GMB also have different presenters on Friday and so do Sky News. If you listen to 1Xtra on Fridays, you hear different presenters from 4pm in the aftertoon although that is because in this case, MistaJam and DJ Target work Saturdays and that 1Xtra probably don't want them working 6 days a week permanently. I don't mind some of the changes but there are also a few that baffle me. Firstly, I think it's good that Matt is getting an extra day and Mollie joining her permanently is also good news as she was a natural at presenting with Matt. Dev is not my favourite presenter but I enjoy Alice when she is on because she drives the laughs. Now to the iffy bits. Regarding Maya Jama, the problem I think is not with her but the Greatest Hits show getting a further edition. It was great at the start because it played songs since Radio 1 started but since it become a regular, they have only played songs from the 90's onward. I guess that the target audience won't like songs that are really old but when you keep this restriction, you start to repeat songs over which get boring after a while. Adding a third show just means further repetition and I don't want that. Although it's great to hear old songs that gives you memories of the past, the format sounds tired already and it makes it worse when you stretch it out. I don't want the Greatest Hits show to sound the equivalent of a day in life of a commercial radio station so maybe when the next bunch of schedule changes come in, they rest this. The other problem I have is the changes to the chart show. I think it's brillant that Scott is doing the charts show from June as he is fantastic presenter all round and he was great whenever he did cover work or do the updates on a Wednesday afternoon when the charts used to be on a Sunday. What I am really annoyed about is that they have scrapped the Dance Anthems show between 6-7pm. I always tune in for this because I love the fact that it's Friday night and that I'm going to hear some banging tunes. Now when I am going to tune in the future, I am going to hear chart-related content. This change is devestating and totally unnecessary. I remember the Number 1 show which they did as chart related content on Cel Spellman's show when he started in July 2015 and got scrapped in October 2016 for the Most Played. (Both as repeative as each other) The wording by the Official Charts Company suggests to me that the chart-related content is going to differ each week but I bet it will just be another "Greatest Hits" type hour. They'll run out of ideas quickly and will end up like The Number 1 Show. I don't understand why Dance Anthems need fiddling with. I'm sure Scott has covered Dance Anthems on a Friday before and managed it fine with the pre-mixed segments so it's a bit surprising that they can't do it in the format as it now but just with Scott doing it instead of Greg. I sort of understand the reason for some of the changes being made but some of the decisions are just strange..
  2. Late change tonight as Phil is in for Annie.
  3. Ofcom have anmounced an amendment to the operating licence regarding new music. This comes into effect from the 1st April. The defention of new music has been updated. Now any music released within 12 months or entering the top 20 charts within 6 weeks is classed as new music now. The second major change now includes the minimum requirement for new music being played going up from 45% to 50%. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2018/03/ofcom-updates-definition-of-new-music-for-bbc/
  4. Dev is in for Greg on the 22nd. MistaJam is in for Greg on the 23rd which means he is doing the charts and Dance Anthems. (Also means it's live-mixed) Danny Howard is in for Annie Mac as well on the 23rd which means Monki takes Danny Howard's usual show.
  5. Some of the extra songs was due to them being pre-mixed and shortened though.
  6. Late additon to the schedule tomorrow. 8pm-9pm: Clara Amfro interviews Kendrick Lamar
  7. Well this is interesting. Dev is in for Charlie Sloth tonight..
  8. The first week early slot has now been filled. Will Best is presenting that week. Another minor change is that Daniel P Carter is in for Annie Mac on NYD.
  9. Christmas Schedule 2017: https://forums.digitalspy.com/discussion/2255103/radio-1-christmas-schedule#latest Key points: Maya Jama in for Alice on 23rd/24th R1 Superstar Playlist returns Christmas Day 10am-4pm Boxing Day 1pm-4pm TBA so perhaps that's Dev? 27th is Live Lounge rewind day until 4pm 28th Is Nixtape day until 7pm 29th is Chart of 2017 day until 7pm Luke Franks in for Alice on the 30th/31st, he's also on NYD 10am-1pm Cel & Katie doing a NYE Dance Classics show 4pm-7pm, also on 1pm-4pm on the 2nd-5th Jordan North hosts the NYE into NYD show from 7pm (Looks like a pre-recorded show) and then is on Breakfast on NYD and on the 10am-1pm slot from the 2nd-5th Katie Thistleton is on 1pm-4pm NYD Scott & Chris on Breakfast 2nd-5th Dev on Drivetime 2nd-4th, MistaJam on the chart on the 5th
  10. So MistaJam announced this evening that he is not the only change to the Saturday Dance Anthems show. He revealed there will be a different theme each hour. Hour 1 will be classics, hour 2 will be current songs and hour 3 will be future and upcoming hits. I would swap the classics and current songs around but that sounds like a really interesting new era for the show. MistaJam will make it work!
  11. So OFCOM have published their final version of the new operating licence for the BBC which also relates to BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0017/107072/bbc-operating-licence.pdf Key points: One hour of news and two extended bulletins, one in peak time and regular updates during the weekend. (No change in other words) 40 new documentaries per year. (Presumably all of these during the new 3-4am slot) 45% of the music in daytime should be British acts, also 45% of the music in the daytime should be new music and the majority from British acts. 60 hours of specialist music is required. (I think this is the reason why some of night time scheduling has changed) 175 new sessions, live or pre-recorded within 3 months. The station plays a bigger range of music which takes into the account of the size of the playlist and amount of plays in daytime/nighttime. (Wonder if we could see some big changes to the way the playlist is done in the future?) It does 2 social action campaigns per year. (I quite like this one!) Will post my opinion about this in more detail soon.
  12. Schedule is out! http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/radio/commissioning/R1-Vintage-Schedule-low.pdf
  13. Another new bed played after I think 2:10pm.
  14. Oooh Adele played a new ID at the start of the show today with the Where It Begins stuff in it again. I really am loving the work Wish Buddah, IMGR, Pure Jingles and Contraband Media are doing to the imaging with regular updates to the beds's and ID's. It's fresh and not too repetitive as well which makes it great to listen to. I think this is the best Imaging Radio 1 has had for years!
  15. On The Sly are producing the imaging again this year.
  16. Scott Mills played a new bed on his show today around 1:13pm. Would like to see new updates and the original lot are brilliant as it is. EDIT: Now he's played one of the new PURE Jingles bed's at 3:23pm.
  17. Scott Mills mentioned today that the Summer Mixes are coming back again this year and that they have filmed a TV trailer for it. I wonder what they will be like this year,? I hope they don't end up doing 3 mixes per day like they did when they got to the Christmas Mixes and they literally made a mess of the repeats. EDIT: Radio advert confirms it starts 17th July from 9:45am.
  18. Or she could be a replacement for Gemma Cairney at Newsbeat and crash the jingles in the news each update.
  19. I would also put Leanne Wood at 19:00-21:00, R1 Takeover with Diane Abbott from 21:00-22:00 and Nigel Dodds from 22:00-01:00. Weekly Playlist to be picked by the Queen and Radio 1 to be controlled by the Daily Mail.
  20. A bit disappointing that neither IMGR or Contraband Media could create any Power Intros for Big Weekend artists other than ones from the headliners, Katy Perry and Kings Of Leon this year. I heard a fair variety last year so it's a shame they didn't make an effort to do as much this year.
  21. Can I request these? Calvin Harris - Heatstroke Shawn Mendes - There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back Thanks! Great work on this by the way.
  22. The article sort of suggests that it's for the old songs. DNCE 'Toothbrush' isn't that old though surely?
  23. Another set of Power Intro demos has been published, this time by Contraband Media who created the R1 Breakfast Show imaging. They have already made 100 intros! Are IMGR still doing these then or is Contraband Media taking over then? I've heard a few already from them but most of them I've heard are IMGR productions. These intro's are already giving me 1tros memories.
