  1. New Newsbeat imaging

    I recently left the BBC and I can tell you that each presenter plays the "Newsbeat Ramp In" at XX:XX:51, fade up the newsbeat studio on their desk, and then on the minute, the show presenter fades out the ramp in and leave the newsbeat studio faded up, until they finish

    I've also noticed that the new R1 variant of the newsbeat intro sounds like a rework of R1 Weekend Breakfast opener ?

    so how does the presenter keep to time for that? for instance systems like Myriad and PO1 at stations I work at have a time marker so you can see how much under or over you are - also how does it work when they change shows - so Greg to RMC for example

    Suspect Mills is waiting for Bruce or Wright

    Curveball... Sara moves and he gets R2 drive? whatever happens he is waiting for that almost certianly... I get the impression he is being lined up for Bruce's slot, although "The dep never gets the gig" so.... maybe the Wright slot is the one they are poiting him towards in which case the chart would need a new host (katie?)

    If he got the 0930 - 1200 slot then he cold keep the chart still

    R1, V&J will for sure be breakfast, no questions

    Matt and Mollie will never get to weekdays now too late, they will be the consistent anchor of weekends around all the new names

    RMC on Drive I can see if v&J go to Breakast, Arielle the Live Lounge show new early breakfast presenter with Dean or Katie in 1-330 weekdays 

    What will be interesting is what happens with Dance Anthems over Charlie's upcoming maternity leave - It's obvs that Rickie and Melvin will run 1030 - 1 as a duo (although could get someone like Katie to be a 3rd and cover Charlie??) same as when Mollie is off, Matt Solo altough wonder if Scarlett Moffatt will cover her? as they can have 9 months off can't they? 

    Dance Anthems Maternity cover - Arielle is Obvs but the does alot of gigging Saturday's unless they have kind of "booked" her already, regardless if she is doing months cover then she will have to take some weekends off as well

    Danny is too big now to be there on a Saturday afternoon, although imagine him, Sarah and Ariele sharing it? other clear choice is Sarah or Jack Saunders

    Scott is into double shifting alot these days - so would he be down for it for 9 months? Do 5L then dance anthems... stranger things have happened? he covered it when Danny was on it a few times.. Could this be when Scott comes off of weekdays and covering Charlie's Mat leave bridges the gap between R1 and R2 ?

    Of course after that Charlie could do what Sara did when Scott "covered" drive and not want to come back to Saturday afternoons, bearing in mind she'll have a baby (although I can see her having the baby at work and have he/she raving in their push chair with daddy lol)

    Pre recording a drive show? Surely it would be better to have Scott do 1-545 or extend RMC to 2 and Scott 2-6 if nothing else could be sourced

    Even Scott 1 - 430 and Clara 430 - 8 could be an option to keep a live presetner on, if cost is the issue, surely that is within contract and no "overtime" would need be paid

    You can't tell me someone like Arielle, Matt, Mollie (or both) Dean Mc, Katy Thiselton, or even one of the Xmas presenters could cover? or Jack? he covered Grimmy a bit towards the end didn't he, Danny Howard? he covered drive when Greg did it a few times

    If I was PC my first choice in this scenario would be for a weekender to cover to avoid shuffling the pack on weekdays, M&M to double head it so it's samey, Arielle, Katie, Matt solo etc etc.... I know it's a bit different to local/commercial stations where they have to be live to do traffic news and all so it "could" be recorded - although I know of several local stations that VT breakfast and drive and a remote presenter does the traffic "almost live" recording the report in a few mins ahead

    They have moved Arielle before to other slots and got someone in to cover so why not that option rather than recording a prime time show.. Imagine if they said Greg was recorded?

    Failing all that do one day of the 1030 - 2 and 2 - 6 schedule with Scott and Chris on drive

  6. Katie and Chris in for Scott

    in The Scott Mills Show

    Really that early? although I know when Greg started Breakfast he was in at 515 usually - I know Grimmy used to come in at like 0600

    Guess it depends on when they can arrange to get callers on etc - I would assume similar: sometime around midday, I’m given to understand they’re in for 11, and in the studio for 12ish.

     

  7. Ben Mundy's last Newsbeat

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    Chris Smith and Tina Deheley both finished as the main daytime anchors in 2018 when Greg and Grimmy swapped shows, so it's been 4 years.. Chris Smith was on the main programme/afternoons for many years before - it was Ben Munday who announced when Scott was being moved off drive and onto lunch

    She covered Trevor Nelson one night last year (I think it was during the summer when she was covering the extended mid morning slot on Radio 1 as well so she was on 1 and 2 in the same day) too. 

    Yes she did at quite short notice as well - I reckon using people like her and Scott to double shift is a cost saving thing

    I do feel like Katie will get a move fairly soon (whether that be Adele leaving or her joining up with Dean, or maybe even her taking over the chart), and then Sam and Danni taking over Life Hacks.

    I think she could be a good contender for the Official chart if Scott went to R2 - but if Scott replaced Ken on R2 then he could still in effect keep the chart as well

    I can also see them giving the Chart to Jordan when Scott leaves make him 5 days a week like Greg

    Good to see Jordan still doing the NYE show. It's become almost a tradition now, like Scott on breakfast. I did wonder whether he would still do it or not now he moved to drivetime. Good to see James Cusack pop up again as well. 

     

    Think Jordan will do that forever - same as Scott he's a proper workaholic

    It's nice to see them doing those slots, in the days of Moyles Grimmy on breakfast and Greg on drive they hardly used to work over Christmas, I seem to remember Grimmy finishing about the week before and not coming back until about 5th Jan and Greg the same when he was on drive Jordan and Scott seem to want to do more - unless of course it's contractual

    I am very interested to see how this pans out now Radio 1's "Supply Teacher" is no longer "supply" 

    Arielle I expect will become the new "supply" like Greg was on earlies, cover the other daytime slots maybe 

    RMC can self Cover unless all three are off same with Jordan and Vick so I'd imagine the rest of daytime will be split between Katie and Arielle 

  18. Future Sounds - Clara's Future

    Hiya, I started wondering what the Future Sounds Show will look like when Clara takes over. What will change and which features will be kept and which removed? What do you think and what would you like? 

    What is known is that it will definitely remain the hottest record in the world, as it is Radio 1's showcase and they are very proud of it. But what about the rest? Will there be a people party playlist? Live gig? What might be added? 

    I'm afraid Clara won't be as lively as Annie and won't speak as well during songs as Annie did. Also the mixing and transitioning between songs may be a bit weaker, but we'll see :)

    I suspect they will change the imaging and the jingles will relate more strongly to the BBC R1 character. 

    The package Annie uses has been in for at least 5 years now hasn't it

    Would’ve liked it if Katie Thistleton had a promotion in this is Dean going to do Saturday Sunday not Friday or with Friday

    Dean has taken all of Jordans Slots Fri Sat and Sun and will be from Salford

    Looks like rather late notice but Matt and Mollie are in for Greg today. Even the Sounds website hasn’t fully updated yet.

    (Arielle said this a few minutes ago).

    I had Arielle on in the car coming home from work at 6am and she even said "warming u up for Greg James at 7"

    Jordan must be unavailable. Going home on the 17th when restrictions allow seems only fair when he says it’s been since last Summer since he saw family.

    The only schedule hasn’t been uploaded for the Sunday yet? Do we know if they are double shifting. I agree RMC or Arielle covering Sunday morning would be better. 

    Or even Greg - I bet he would if given the call

    Chris Stark? give him a chance to do it solo

    Several elements suprise me here

    A. why not use Jordan in the week? unless he is going home?

    B. Why double shift them on Sunday, when someone like Arielle, or any of the weekday DJs could cover Jordans slot, before he went to drivetime, in fact after he did it wasn't unknown for Greg to cover a weekend shift, or Scott for that matter (although in this case Scott is off)

    Greg used to regularly cover the chart on a Sunday and Scott did too, and cover things like dance anthems and all

    Chris Moyles used to cover weekend shifts sometimes, when they were at last resort, it seems these days the weekday lot only stray to weekend shows when its something like Big Weekend
