Well I’m not sure what to think of these changes and I’m not sure whether they were really needed especially in a time I thought the BBC were making cutbacks. Anyway some pros and cons: Pros: • Jordan has got his own show at last • Matt has got his normal show back (which will hopefully mean his podcast as well) • Although, it seems a bit of a step back for Alice, it gives her more freedom to do other things. Cons: • Maya isn’t really needed - Jordan could have done both the Greatest Hits shows and WHY does Scott need a co presenter. • The Greatest Hits show is still around. • Matt having a co-presenter every Saturday. Is he not able to present his own show anymore? I’d say I’m quite 50/50 right now but I could be wrong and tune in with it all sounding brilliant!

I think Dev maybe covering because I remember Matt saying he’s going on holiday for a bit so he probably can’t cover. It would be interesting to see if Chris is there because I can’t remember if Dev has ever covered with Chris before. I think it probably was Scotts team producing Matt as Chris was there and it had all the normal features.

I thought I would start a thread that I will hopefully update every Sunday evening with the schedule changes for the next couple of weeks, just to inform people on here: Mon 15th to Fri 19th: 1:00 - 4:00 Matt in for Scott Mon 22nd and Tue 23rd: 1:00 - 4:00 Dev in for Scott Sat 27th and Sun 28th: 10:00 - 1:00 Jordan in for Matt

Yeah, I get that. But maybe his new producer wanted them so went to Aled or someone else high up to ask?

I agree with all of this said above. I’m actually pretty happy with the state of Radio 1 at the moment in terms of DJs and the schedule but what’ve they really need to sort out the songs played. I really don’t think Matt needs the Greatest Hits show and I wonder whether his new producer wanted to put that in, as that started as soon as his new producer came - it makes his show very devoid of personalities and features. I just wanted to answer a couple of people’s points about the amount of music played - Adele plays around 38-40 tracks, Nick plays around 45 tracks, Clara plays around 40-43, Scott plays around 40-43 tracks and Greg plays about 35 tracks - so looking at it that way, Scotts show and Nicks shows have been increased the most, with Greg’s being the least seemingly not being increased at all. I am also sad so have also made a complaint to the BBC today.

Realistically, all I think will happen this year is one of Adele, Dev, Matt or Alice will leave/get kicked out and Jordan will take their show. I would like Greg to replace Grimmy on breakfast but I just can’t see that happening this year!

Hi, I’m new here. I’m Dan and I have been lurking on the forum for a while now and with being on the UM whatsapp chat, I thought it was time to join in with the discussions!
