Seems Jamie Theakston has the gig - schedule has changed so they are 0630-10 to go up directly against Greg and all
with all of this - one wonders, was Theakston the second choice and Mills was offered the gig? or was it lies from the Sun, something we will probably never know
I suspect Mills was offered the gig, but the Beeb offered a new contract with Radio 2 cover Incorporated, wonder if Scott will still cover for Greg going forward and it's just M&M did it this time because of eurovision
thoughts?
It's Jamie Theakston & Amanda Holden duo isn't it?
Yeah interesting 6:30 til 10.
I still think Radio 1 Breakfast needs to be 6-10 tho. Compete with Capital better.

Does anyone know the name of the song he’s currently using over his intro on radio 1?
The current jingles and imaging are custom made for the breakfast show.
He did a cool little video on it all:

I'm late teens so am pretty much exactly R1's target audience.
I only started listening R1 Breakfast since Greg started, I was not a fan of Grimmy (although I do think he has been better on drive).
Absolutely love Greg. Genuinely funny and as @Vorti said above, he is a nice boost in the morning. Some light entertainment with his randomness.
I do agree, I feel like he needs a co host like Chris Smith - someone to bounce his stupid banter off haha. Biggest thing though is I think we just need a refresh of features as he's been doing the same ones since the start. If he did that it would sound like a new show again.
I am going to give Capital Breakfast With Roman Kemp a try next week. My local capital station had the most annoying breakfast presenters of all time so I've never listened but will be interesting to listen to the new national show next week.

Looking at the calendar, Christmas Eve and Day falls on a Monday/Tuesday so I can see it being Scott on Breakfast again for that week. I can see Will Best and ArIelle Free being used as cover on weekends, maybe Mollie King on her own and Katie & Cel doing solo covers and maybe some double shifts as well. Since New Years Eve/Day falls on the Monday/Tuesday I can't see a normal schedule return until the following week.
So for Christmas Eve I can see it being:
4-6:30am: Arlee Free
6:30-10am: Jordan North
10-1pm: Mollie King (Would be good to try her out solo)
1pm-7pm: Scott & Chris Bangers (Pre-Recorded)
And for Christmas Day:
4-6:30am: Arlee Free
6:30-10am: Scott Mills
10am-4pm: Radio 1 Takeover
4pm-7pm: Jordan North
26-27th:
4-6:30am: Arlee Free
6:30-10am: Scott Mills
10am-1pm: Mollie King

As normal
I can't see them splitting Matt & Mollie up. I think they will both be on together quite a bit I we Christmas but not separately.
I'll probably be wrong though!

Weekdays
6:30-10:00: Radio 1 Breakfast With Greg James
10:00-13:00: Adele Roberts (Feat. Live Lounge)
13:00-16:00: Matt & Mollie
16:00-19:00: Scott & Chris
19:00-21:00: Future Sounds With Annie Mac & Nick Grimshaw
21:00-23:00: Charlie Sloth
Weekends
6:30-10:00: Weekend Breakfast With Dev
10:00-13:00: Jordan North
13:00-16:00: Alice Levine
16:00-19:00: Chart With Scott/Dance Anthems with Mistajam/Life Hacks with cel&katie.

There has to be a Radio 1 Breakfast With Greg James on Christmas Day this year. Just because its his first year I think he would want to do it as well as the bosses.
...also really hope Jordan does New Years Eve Party thing again, that was quality last year.

2) Scott Mills (and Chris)
3) Matt & Mollie

On 9/6/2018 at 7:58 PM, THIS IS THE BBC said:
Lots of slight name changes to the shows:
The Radio 1 Takeover
Radio 1's Future Sounds with Annie Mac
Radio 1's Hype Chart with Phil Taggart
Annie Nightingale Presents...
Radio 1's Soundsystem with Toddla T
Annie Mac on Friday
Also Radio 1 and 1Xtra's Stories appears to be coming back onto the air in place of 'The Radio 1 Takeover' in a couple of weeks.
Very interesting changes.
On 9/6/2018 at 11:26 PM, Ant L said:Annie’s Friday show is now ‘Radio 1’s Dance Party with Annie Mac’.
I guess this all to make the shows stand out on the BBC Sounds app which has programmes and podcasts from across the BBC.
Surprised Radio 1 Breakfast didn’t get the same treatment - Radio 1’s Breakfast Show maybe.
Yes I thought breakfast was going to be named in that way.
Also surprises me they haven't added "Weekend Breakfast" back to "Dev & Alice" yet now they have finished drive time.
Ultimately I think they are trying to create "Shows" rather then just the presenter/personality (as this is what happens on commercial - Capital is the same all the time just with different presenters). They want Radio 1 to have "shows" that people specifically choose to listen too.

Least this was consistent but I still think it has been done wrong.
It should be.....
Dev & Alice
Arielle and Will sit in.
Radio 1's Greatest Hits
with Cel Spellman
Jordan North
Cel sits in for Jordan
Matt & Mollie
Jordan Sits in for Matt & Mollie.
I just then thing when they are doing show features like "Get Your Clips Out" or "Best New Pop" the iPlayer version goes into the right show category so people can find it.
-
At the end of breakfast today Greg said that he would be back on Tuesday after bank holiday but the schedule on Monday says his show is still on.
Anyone know what's happening?
Also....I always thought they should just do Weekend Schedule on bank holidays, just makes sense.
-
I think this mornings shows was REALLY good. They nailed it.
Balance between music and chat/features was spot on the type of music played fits what R1 is all about.
You can really tell they care about this show because so much work has gone into to it to actually make it sound good. The jingles, imaging and 'highlights' and 'coming up' packages sound so smooth - this is something that I really hope stays and doesn't disappear over time with laziness.
A little more interaction with everyone in the studio would be nice but I guess that may come when the show is not quite as busy!
Really looking forward to tomorrow now!

I agree, it’s especially annoying when a Will Best situation happens, when he first started covering Adele, the show was labelled Adele Roberts - Will Best sits in
But then on the most recent cover he did, he had his own name, and not Adele Roberts, at least show some consistency Radio 1, But then that’s typical of R1 at the moment, but that’s for another thread
Yes I agree. I think the consistency has been horrendous recently.
Especially regarding cover DJs, I feel the BBC have allowed to many key people at R1 to have time off at once. It means we are getting random shows all the time.
-
Whenever there is loads of cover on R1 I always find it proper confusing how they title the shows...
Do you think the show should remain the same with "sits in" in the subtitle or do you think the cover DJs show title should be used:
E.G: When Jordan covers Adele, should it be...
Adele Roberts
Jordan North Sits in
OR
Jordan North
Jordan Sits in for Adele
I always thought the first one made more sense if Jordan is doing Adele's features such as new music friday or best new pop because then it means that all of this falls into the same section on iPlayer in catch up. I don't know, R1 just seem to be all over the place with how they are titling stuff at the moment anyway.

I've been wondering about some more specific aspects of the show - I'm sure we won't know any of these things until basically launch, but I wonder:
1) What will it be called? Probably just "The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Greg James", but maybe they'll go for something different that puts Greg a bit more front and centre. I don't think it'll be "The Greg James Show" because I remember him saying how much he hates it when people name shows that way. But maybe they'll go for "The Greg James Breakfast Show". Who knows.
2) We all want to know whether it'll be Chris Smith on news (dozens of people have tweeted him about it but he hasn't replied to any so either he doesn't know or can't say yet), but I also wonder whether they'll bring back a separate sports presenter? Probably not, because that would cost money but maybe if they want an extra voice on air they'd have a sports person as well. Plus, Greg's a lot more interested in sport than Grimmy so a separate sports reader might fit the show more.
SO excited to hear it. I reckon they'll go for all new features as well. Perhaps with the exception of the Ten Minute Takeover, but even that's been a permanent fixture since 2009 so maybe they'll take this opportunity to call it a day. They play more Greatest Hits anyway so a request feature for older songs isn't as necessary.
i think a "Going To Work" song would be pretty funny start for the first few weeks. Then they can ditch it like "Going Home Song". But think that would really set up the kind of show it will be.

Does anyone thing BBC Podcasts will ever be on Spotify?
I always listen to Podcasts on there so find myself forgetting about the BBC ones every now and then purely because all my podcasts are in the same place (apart from BBC).
Also, you cannot listen to BBC iPlayer Radio App with Sonos which is how I pretty much how I listen to everything.
Just a hit inconvenient really. Would be nice for them to publish on Spotify as well as iTunes etc.
-
really surprises me that Grimmy goes to DriveTime, not sure what that is going to be like.
Breakfast with Greg is going to be really good though.
-
I thought they were reverting to playing the Top 40 in full? Not enough time to do that in 1hr45?
Glad to see Dance Anthems staying though.
-
ahh interesting stuff. Thanks!
just out of interest, how much do you think the BBC pay for a jingle package like this?
Sure will!

Hi,
Been reading the blog for a while but never posted. Really interesting discussion so I thought I would join!
Been listening to Matt for ages, love his style. Always hear this backing music on his show, really like the sound of it. Is it a song or is it something custom the BBC will have had made for them?

2020s schedule ?
in BBC Radio 1

I can't see changes this drastic all at once. Would turn away so many listeners who dislike change.
Breakfast with Greg will stay for a few years I think, I think Scott has a bit longer too (just doing more R2 cover as well). I can see Grimmy going in 2020, maybe Clara Amfo as well.
