Did it take a lot of tempting to go to Capital Jordan? Did you feel like you’d achieved everything you could at Radio 1 (other than breakfast)?
Chris, how did your Capital move come about? Did Radio 1 want you to stay after Scott moved on?
-
Arielle is in Dubai and Ibiza - I think she has pre-recorded her new show this week (at least that’s what it looked like from her Insta stories on Thursday)
I think if Katie is off it will mostly likely be Matt - he’s the only other one who has presented with Jamie before
-
Yeah the news is REALLY short now, the 8:30 one was under a minute when it used to be 3. I wonder what’s happened there

Charlie Tee in for Jeremiah on the Soundsystem Party tonight
Hope Jerry is ok - he was posting about being on earlier so it’s obviously a last minute change!

I just physically cringed at Danny's comment about Mollie King
What did he say?

I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess
-
Sam MacGregor definitely gave UM a shoutout a few weeks ago! I know that Jordan had also done it in the past.
I think your best bet would probably be Sam and Danni’s weekend breakfast show tbh!

I think that’s a very good line-up so far, I was underwhelmed last year but it’s already looking better this year!
-
Tuesday 2nd April - the week after Easter weekend!
-
I’m going to take a stab at the headliners (based on who I think R1 have the budget for and who they’ve played lots in the past few months)
Friday: Fred Again..
Saturday: Usher
Sunday: RAYE
All 3 of these also have touring gaps where they’d be able to play big weekend.
-
We know R1 love duos and trios at the moment but I feel that getting Nat to join Vicky on the 10 hour takeover is a bit overkill - surely that’s a day that will be full of music?
And the same with Easter Monday when it’s Anthems day - I feel that all of RMC and Vick, Katie and Jamie aren’t all needed when they get to do 30 second links

I'm not sure about this. Radio is all about continuity and management changes every few years might break this, because every new boss would want to change something.
I agree, as much as I think Aled has made a couple of recent questionable decisions, after the next few months the last thing radio 1 will need is more upheaval. I think (unless anyone chooses to leave) there probably shouldn’t be any changes for at least a couple of years. Radio 1 needs a period of stability now.
-
Mollie is solo on Saturday (9th) and Matt is solo on Sunday (10th)
Sam and Danni are in for Arielle on Monday (11th) and from the 19th-21st March
Nat is in for Dean on Thursday 14th and then Ore is in for Dean for the whole of the next week.
Nikita Kanda is in for Matt and Mollie on the weekend of the 16th and 17th of March.
It seems like Greg is probably off on Good Friday as it is just a generic Radio 1 Breakfast on the schedule - no indication yet of who will cover him but I would guess it might be Dean.

Interesting that Katie also referred to the fact that she knew ‘changes were coming,’ which I presume is in reference to Dean and Vicky splitting up.
I do wonder whether the initial plan was for Dean and Vicky to still split but Katie take afternoons and then there wouldn’t have been any changes to Matt and Mollie’s show (which also might explain why they haven’t been able to announce a weekend afternoon presenter yet)
-
I know it’s none of our business but has Scott said why he’s off for so long? I don’t ever remember him taking a 5 week long holiday on R1 before?
-
Hopefully Matt and Mollie take producer Amy with them to weekdays - she has helped to make their weekend show even better in the past couple of years and was obviously Scott’s producer before he left too

I hope they do keep Future Pop on the station and it isn’t completely axed.
Yes it’s staying but moving to Wednesdays 8-10. I’m surprised Mollie is still presenting it, because it’s very rare that Radio 1 do double-shifting, let alone permanently. I’d have thought it would be the perfect time to give it to Maia Beth
-
Conor Knight is covering for Sam and Danni on Sunday. I think that’s the first day off their show since they started in September!
-
I wonder if it might be slightly left field - James Cusack and Lauren Layfield together maybe?
-
I think it needs to be a mix of both which it seems to do quite well - obviously it has signed some big names in recent years but also some presenters have come from student radio (Sam and Danni come to mind).
One thing I don’t think they need is TV names such as Jamie Laing, I think there’s enough big and small radio names that they can use without people like him (although I would have said the same about Mollie King and look how that has turned out)
-
Ahh I hope this is right! Matt and Mollie have deserved afternoons for years - could almost feel like a (not quite so good) Scott afternoon show again!
-
It does also mean that we’re only going to get a week of the new Going Home before the challenge takes over for a week which probably isn’t ideal either.

To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?
