Cel Spellman was 19 when he started Sundays I think, not sure if he was the youngest though

Unless we’re getting a more music show that mirrors RMC, they could just be going for a soft launch approach. There hasn’t been much promo around the show, which makes sense considering they’re not high profile names that will immediately bring in listeners.

Radio 1's Major Daytime Schedule Changes: One Year On
LSR1 replied to UnofficialStark's topic in BBC Radio 1
Personal favourites are Sarah Story’s show and I personally like having a Power Down Playlist at 10pm even if its pre-recorded. I think Radio 1 is in a good place with its specialist output at the moment. For me personally I think a lot of the daytime changes simply haven’t wowed me because they followed presenters or shows I really liked and felt worked, which makes Radio 1 feel like its gone down a notch in quality in the last few years without meaning to sound too harsh! Dean and Vicky taking over Scott and Chris will no doubt add to that feeling in the coming weeks -

Just seen that Vick and Jordan are covering breakfast on Friday 1st October

RMC work much better than Clara did in that slot too, and Clara is the most sensible replacement for Annie (who I'll also continue to miss!), and its nice to have Sian Eleri getting more hours so quickly, really like her. Good changes all round on weekdays imo!
-
Vick and Jordan are sounding so much more at ease today, really promising first few shows. I was a fan of Grimmy so its big shoes to fill for me but they're more than proving they are the right replacement.
-
While I’m sad to see Grimmy go, it felt like it was around the corner for a while now, especially recently with Annie and Sinead leaving, so I’m not too surprised. Really pleased they didn’t do the obvious thing of just moving Jordan over but have instead decided to add Vick into the mix! Both of them work best when they have someone to bounce off so makes the most sense to put them together. Not too sure how I feel about Dean yet, feels like a very quick promotion! Think I need to hear more before I form a proper opinion, but it is a bit of a shame Katie hasn’t had some sort of promotion here

It seems to be getting played as a Top of Hour -
Just came on here to say the same thing, rarely listen to Jack because indie's not my thing but he sounded really good tonight!

Its supposed to be in the style of the specialist show in question though because its a takeover, so I suspect it will be the same imaging as The Chillest Show
-
So this is very interesting Bank Holiday Monday (26th August) Radio 1 are doing a nighttime takeover with the following shows 07:00 The Chillest Show with Phil Taggart 10:00 Ricky, Melvin & Charlie 13:00 Pete Tong 16:00 Indie Show with Jack Saunders 19:00 Dan P Carter 22:00 Benji B

I'll be the lone Grimmy fan here and say I think he gets a hard time here. He has an incredible skill of making his shows sound natural but still entertaining and that can be very difficult to pull off for many presenters. I'm a bit lukewarm on Jordan North taking over drive. He's a good presenter but having Greg on breakfast and Jordan on drive all feels too... safe, and we know radio 1 don't like to play safe. Grimmy and Greg have opposite personalities to appeal to different people in Radio 1's demographic during their flagship weekday shows (hence why you usually hear people prefer one to the other), and Greg and Jordan seem to appeal to the same type of people. I personally enjoyed Alice Levine covering on Thursday, but I don't think we'll ever see a scenario where Dev & Alice take over 4-7.

Radio 1's Big Weekend 2019 - Middlesbrough
LSR1 replied to David123's topic in Radio 1's Big Weekend
there is every year yet the rule is often broken or ignored. its the only reason i can think of as to why the radio 1 content for big weekend this year has been quite dire -
Radio 1's Big Weekend 2019 - Middlesbrough
LSR1 replied to David123's topic in Radio 1's Big Weekend
i think with big weekend being fully live there was always the issue of swearing pre-watershed and a lot of the acts would break that rule despite being told not to, so maybe that’s why they aren’t broadcasting as live like usual? A shame indeed as I preferred the pre-2018 BW coverage but I suppose if it stops them from getting into hot water it makes sense
