    The Jordan Maya set up Saturday seems strange. Alice is off for a few more weeks yet I think 

    I think it’s probably Jordan covering the whole show but the website hasn’t completely updated yet. 

    Also, I think Alice is off until around the middle of April on her tour. 

  2. Alice is off for the next 7(!) weeks and so I’m assuming Dev will be flying solo.

    Also, 

    • Cel Spellman is in for Arielle on Early Breakfast on Friday

    • Matt and Mollie are in for Greg next Monday

    • Jordan is in for Grimmy on Drive all this week as Grimmy is doing his sport relief challenge 

  3. This weekend:

    Arielle in for Mollie In Best New Pop

    Matt is solo on weekend breakfast

    Dev is flying solo. 

    On Sunday: 

    Gregor Davidson in for Arielle

    Arielle In for Jordan 

    Wednesday 29th:

    Arielle In for Adele 

    Friday 7th and probably all weekend:

    Alice is flying solo (one of them always seems to be off)

    Dev and Alice would be really good I think, would enjoy hearing them have a shot.  But, would they commit to depping for two weeks?  They’re both busy, especially Alice.

    I love Dev and Alice and think they’re the best on the station at the moment, but I think that’s the problem, that neither of them would probably be able to commit to a weekday slot as they’d both be off for half the time.

  5. So with 2019 now coming to the end, what do we all think will happen to the schedule next year? 

    This year was a reasonably quiet year with only Rickie, Melvin and Charlie and Arielle starting new shows. However, there doesn’t seem to be any new cover presenters to take new shows next year at the moment, so I’m guessing next year might just be shuffling around of shows. 

    I think Grimmy will swap with Jordan and Maya will leave so Grimmy takes all three weekend slots around the middle of next year. 

    I also wonder whether Clara might leave or be replaced by Adele or Arielle next year. It would also be nice to hear Katie cover that slot sometimes too. 

    Finally although I don’t want this to happen, I feel as though Scott’s time on afternoons might come to an end. I feel like there could be a whole list of replacements though. 

    The weekends sound very good to me at the moment, so id try not to change them around too much if possible and I think the evenings are fine too. 

    What are you all predicting? 

  6. Some of the Christmas schedule has been released and it’s  not a lot different to normal:

    23rd:

    4:00 Katie Thistleton 

    6:30 Matt and Mollie

    4:00 Jordan North

    Everything else as normal 

    24th:

    Same except it’s just Matt on breakfast 

    From Boxing Day to New Years Eve: 

    It looks like they have got radio 1 Anthems everyday doing 3 hours of music from each year from 2000. 

    NYD and 2nd:

    Same as Christmas Eve except Reece is in for RMC

    3rd: 

    Normal Schedule except no Mollie on breakfast! 

     

     

  7. It’s getting around to that time of year again when the Christmas schedule is released so what do you all think it’s going to look like this year? 

    Christmas Day this year is on a Wednesday and then from Boxing Day until New Years Eve, there is going to be presenters on from student radio so I think the schedule will look quite different this year. This is what I think:

    Up until the 22nd Dec: As Normal

    23rd and 24th:

    4:00 Katie Thistleton

    6:30 Scott and Chris

    10:00 Adele Roberts 

    1:00 Arielle Free

    4:00 Jordan North

    Possibly Dev covering RMC? 

    Christmas Day: 

    4:00 Adele Roberts (pre record) 

    7:00 Scott Mills

    10:00 Artist Takeover

    4:00 Jordan North

    Boxing Day:

    4:00 Student Radio 

    6:30 Scott and Chris

    10:00 Student Radio 

    4:00 Jordan North

    27th/28th/29th

    Same as above except

    7:00am Arielle Free

    30th 

    Same as above except 

    6:30 Matt and Mollie

    New Years Eve: 

    4:00 Student Radio 

    6:30 Matt and Mollie

    10:00 Student Radio

    8:00 Jordan North (New Year Party Show)

    New Years Day:

    4:00 Adele Roberts (pre record)

    6:30 Matt and Mollie

    10:00 Katie Thistleton 

    1:00 Jordan North

    4:00 Dev

    2nd:

    Same as above:

    7:00 Matt and Mollie

    10:00 Arielle Free

    1:00 Dev

    6th:

    As Normal

     

    Unfortunately, I think this might be Scott’s last year doing Christmas Day Breakfast before I’m guessing Jordan might do it from next year. What do you all think? 

     

  8. I think it is incorrect as Jordan is in for her the week after so I think she’s probably on holiday 

    Also, adding to this, R1 seem to having different presenters cover each week another presenter is off. For example, Adele is off her normal show at the moment and has Arielle covering one week and Katie the other. Clara is also off and has Adele covering one week and then Jordan the other. It seems to be a new thing they are implementing at the moment.

  9. How do you all think R1 is sounding at the moment? I’ve been listening quite a bit recently and also (because I’m sad) I was looking through some old topics from around 2016/17 time and there seems to be many people that were not very happy with how the content and output sounded back then. 

    However, I think Radio 1 is currently sounding great. Greg’s breakfast show is really great to get ready to everyday, Drive is better than it was a few months ago and when I get to listen to Scott, he’s as good as always. 

    The weekend schedule is also good, Matt and Mollie, although not ground breaking radio, are fine enough to have on, and Dev and Alice (when they’re there) are in my opinion, the best show currently on  R1. 

    Also, really liking the Indie Show and the Chillest Show at the moment, hopefully both of them stick around for a long time. 

    There are a few things that I’m not so keen on however. The first is the amount of music, which is for another thread really, is quite a lot, and I think it has increased in Scott and Clara’s Show recently - thankfully, Greg’s Show has stayed very content heavy. This brings me onto my next point, which is Clara. I feel as though she needs to go now and I wouldn’t be surprised if they give Arielle that show in about a years time. She just sounds very bored, and it’s just songs after songs after sons. Finally, when will they give Jordan a weekday show? I’m struggling with what slot they might give him though, as I don’t think Grimmy is that temporary on drive and I still can’t see Scott going anywhere for a while. 

    So, what are all your thoughts on R1s current state?

    Alice seems to be off a fair bit maybe it’s to do with her comedy show 

     

    I think her big comedy tour is next year when I think she’ll be having lots of time off. It’s a bit of a shame in my opinion because I feel like with Dev being off until Christmas and then I think Alice is off for a while after that, I think they’ll lose some of their chemistry unfortunately.

  11. Quite a few schedule changes coming up: 

    • Tomorrow Clara is off and RMC are covering and Reece Parkinson is covering for them as already mentioned. 

    • On Friday and Saturday, Adele is in for Dev and Alice again. On Sunday, Dev is solo. 

    • Also on Friday and Saturday, Jordan is in for Maya. 

    • On Saturday, Charlie is in for Mistajam on Dance Anthems. 

    • And on Saturday and Sunday, Matt is solo which is also happening the weekend after. 

    • On Friday 11th, Europe’s Biggest Dance Show is taking place from 7pm until 2am with a different European country showcasing what music they have to offer. 

    • Finally on October 15th, Matt is in for Greg on Breakfast! 

  12. I’m hoping we get a major schedule change at the beginning of next year. There are too many talented people on slots that aren’t good enough for them, like it’s completely ridiculous that Jordan has still only got 1 show a week and the fact that they used to have 3 main presenters at the weekend and now they’ve got 7 shows the problem they’ve got!!

  13. Listened to all 3 of Arielle’s shows this weekend on catch up and I thought it sounded good. It was similar format wise to Weekday early breakfast but I suppose there is only so much that you can do at 5am. 

    I thought Arielle had loads of energy which is needed for that show and from what she was saying it sounds as if it’s a year long ‘experiment’ to see if it works having a live show at that time. 

    Anyway, I enjoyed it and it would be nice listening to it if I’m ever up that early. Has anyone else had a chance to listen to it? 

  14. Quite a few changes in the next few weeks: 

    • On Monday, Phil is in for Annie

    • Arielle launches her show next Friday! 

    • From Monday 9th until Thursday 12th, Matt and Mollie are in for Greg! 

    • Also that week, RMC are in for Scott with 1xtra shows filling their slots. 

    • From Monday 16th until Thursday 19th, Jordan is in for Grimmy. 

    • And finally on Friday 20th (and possibly the rest of the weekend) Adele is in for Dev and Alice.!
