I can’t remember the last time Nat and Vicky presented a weekend together - it’s been a while!
And I think they both sound better with other presenters too!
-
I wonder if Shanequa is going on maternity leave after this weekend. She doesn’t seem to be on any Life Hacks shows in May and isn’t doing the extra week of Life Hacks prior to Big Weekend either
-
I almost feel like he should just be there as Katie’s cover, it will make the show a whole lot more consistent with Vick, Jamie and him presenting all the Going Home shows between them, and as you say, he sounds very good with Vick. (And as tomorrow shows, they don’t mind putting him on alone either!)
-
Now that the new schedule has had time to bed in, what are your thoughts on how the station is sounding at the moment? I have to say, I personally think that the station is sounding pretty good right now. Many presenters seem to be top of their game and there are no obvious weak spots that I would personally change myself.
In terms of each show individually:
Dean - As much as I don't hear Early Breakfast that often, I think he is a perfectly competent presenter in his own right. I don't think a partnership worked for him and I do think he sounds pretty good in this show. I don't think he'll be at R1 for the long term though, and wouldn't be completely surprised if he has departed by the end of the year for a commercial network.
Greg - I think he's still absolutely the right person for the breakfast show. The show still sounds pretty fresh (hopefully moreso now that Jan Slam is finally finished with) and I can't see any obvious person who would take over that show now.
RMC - I enjoy the fact that their show has been a complete departure to what came before it. I'm still not completely convinced it's the best slot for them, but I don't see where else they would go on the schedule now.
Matt and Mollie/Jerry - My favourite show on the network now! I love how fresh the show always sounds, there are plenty of features all the time and the 2 1/2 hours flies by.
Vick, Katie and Jamie - I don't know what to think of this show. Sometimes I find it really enjoyable, other times it seems a complete mess. I have grown to like Jamie but I don't think the lack of consistency with the presenters helps at all (and obviously will be compounded with Katie on maternity in a couple of weeks)
Weekends:
I think James has settled into that show excellently. Exactly the type of weekend breakfast show that I think R1 should be providing. I've never been particularly keen on Nat and Vicky - their style of show isn't my thing but I can see why some people would (I do really enjoy the 00s/10s show though). I'm actually slightly disappointed with Sam and Danni's new show, it's lacking something for me, whether that's because they've continued some features from the afternoon show before, or something else? I feel like this weekend has been better though so maybe they're gradually introducing more as the weeks go on. Life Hacks I don't really listen to so can't comment on. A quick note on weekend early breakfast - I still don't see the point of it? Feels like a waste of both Ore and Swarzy's presenting skills.
The evenings are good too. Jack's show and Jerry's show are particular highlights for me. I do miss the evening entertainment show though.
In terms of predictions for this year, I reckon it will be a quiet one (obviously not including Mollie, Katie and Shanequa's maternity leave). The only change I can possibly see is Dean leaving and Emil (?) replacing him.
What do you all think?

Ellie shared it on her Instagram.
I've seen so many pictures of that alarm clock cake and I really want a slice of it 😂
Thank you - I think Scott has taken his producer from afternoons with him, he’s definitely spoken about a producer Ben before.

The team photo suggests there's 12 people working on the programme. That seems a big number, does Greg have that many?
Where’s the team photo?
-
Is that a late change? It was meant to be Spoony today and tomorrow wasn’t it?
-
And Sam and Danni are in for Jack on the chart on Friday with Connor covering early breakfast.
-
If I were him I’d just slot back into early breakfast when he returns and maybe not do any breakfast cover for a while, I dread to think what the comments on his breakfast cover show will be. And I can imagine the handover between him and RMC might be quite awkward as well
-
It doesn’t make for great reading - however I would guess it’s at least partly exaggerated. Dean and Vicky both presented the show until the very end and it didn’t seem like there were any issues between them? Unless they managed to hide it very well
-
I’m pretty sure they’ve already said it will be late January. Apparently Trevor let slip at some point that his show was starting at the end of Jan so I’m guessing all the changes will take place on January 27th?
-
I’m surprised they’re going live as early as 6am on NYD - that feels very early considering last year it was 8am!

I missed the days where it was 'normal' personality led shows (even if it was different music, but it was without the pre mixed 'blocks') and the 'B' team such as Adele Roberts Matt Edmondson, Dev etc. stepped up (with Scott & Chris on Breakfast).
I completely agree - they also have such a strong B Team now (and SO MANY presenters that don’t get much of a chance with double header shows etc) that it would be nice to see them at Christmas.
You could very easily see a Christmas week schedule of:
5am - James Cusack
7am - Sam and Danni
10:30am - Nat and Vicky
1pm - Ore
3:30pm - LaurenAnd that’s with every single normal presenter being off!
-
Vicky is covering early breakfast the week commencing the 25th November. I guess they’re using all the Salford presenters so we might see Nat the week after.
-
I do wonder what the thinking is behind a 1 hour weekend early breakfast show? Will it be live or pre-recorded? I’m guessing it’s so essentially they have Ore and Swarzy on the books as official presenters in the view to giving them more in the coming years!
Very pleased for James though, you can see how much it means to him just from his Instagram post, I think he’ll be perfect doing that show as well.
Sam and Danni are also perfect to take over a more personality led show, it sounds like it will have guests on too which will be a nice change for weekends, there is no mention of them coming from Cardiff though so I wonder if that show is moving to London considering it’s based there at the moment?
I think Matt and Jerry will be absolutely hilarious together, and I’m glad that he’s getting more exposure.
I’m guessing that Friday Early Breakfast will be going back to a presenter rotation now that Sam and Danni will be moving off it?
All in all I think these are a very strong set of changes announced today.
-
Ahh they’re the perfect changes! Although where has the budget come from for another weekend early breakfast show?! Very happy for Sam and Danni, James and Ore though who have all done their fair share of cover! And Matt and Jerry is going to be chaos!
I can imagine he might also be used for Katie’s maternity cover?

Connor Knight hosting with Danni on 26th October, and then Connor solo on 27th October.
I don’t quite understand this - Danni has hosted the slot on her own before and obviously they’re comfortable with it being a solo show as Connor is showing a day later (and has done many times in the past) so I don’t quite get why she needs a random co-host for a day!
-
So that means we can rule Ore out for that slot too if it begins on October 4th? I’m starting to think it might be a very left field choice!
-
I wonder if that means that the Anthems shows might not be on the main station this Christmas? Or maybe they’ll just simulcast with the R1 Anthems station?
-
And the 1-4 slot is currently show-less. I reckon we’re very close to an announcement coming now for that slot!
-
God I hope not. Isn’t he a TikToker? Reminds me a lot of Danny Beard from what I’ve heard of him

Sam and Danni on Radio 1, and Scott Mills on Radio 2.
It's a good week for holiday cover shows!

Next weeks Going Home schedule:
Monday: Just Vick
Tuesday: Vick and Jamie
Wednesday: Jamie and Sam and Danni
Thursday: Sam and Danni
This was taken from the At Home podcast today. It is assumed that Sam and Danni are covering Wednesday and Thursday because both Vick and Katie are off.

So it won’t be Sam and Danni taking over Going Home then! My money would be Lauren, Emil and Jamie (or potentially Jerry instead of Emil). But I guess we’ll see.
