  1. New Weekend Schedule February 2018

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    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!

    wonder why Dev is covering two odd days

    Todays show was very Scott esque wonder if its his team working with Matt as opposed to the usual leave thing where Matts team are poducing
    When Scott did breakfast over Christmas was this his team or Grimmys?

    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

     

  4. Does Radio 1 play too much music?

    I highly doubt the decision for Greatest Hits remaining a permanent show would have been decided by a show producer - I would imagine that would have gone via the Head of Programmes, one Aled Haydn Jones.

    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.
