Good call doing a topic on this - also it means it'll be easier in the future to look back at people's thoughts etc. This Friday is the weekend thing has just been made even more weird in my opinion, as they've still got weekend shows throughout the rest of the day. I am pleased Greg's got Fridays though. I never like presenters going back to their old slots, often feel like it's a bit of a backward step in most instances. Although, I did prefer Matt and Mollie on weekend afternoons to breakfast so I'm not too bitter. I really like the idea of rotating new talent on Friday mornings, Mollie Finn was a runner up in demo factor this year I think. Not too sure why Arielle couldn't have done weekend breakfast, but am sure Adele will do a good job as will Arielle on early breakfast - I suppose Adele has a bigger profile than Arielle as well. I'm a little disappointed that Riyadh Khalaf didn't get a slot - I am really starting to rate him. Sad to see Huw, Phil and especially Dev go

Who knows, maybe if Katie and Vick prove a strong duo then they could end up getting promoted together. Taking Scott's show in a year or two? Have R1 ever had an all female double act before now? EDIT- wonder where the show will be broadcast from? It's from Salford currently but Vick lives in London

Personally, a change I can see happening is Dev moving to 1Xtra, Adele to weekend afternoons, Arielle to early breakfast allowing somebody new on weekend early breakfast. Alternatively, they could just move Arielle to weekend afternoons and leave Adele where she is but for some reason I quite like the idea of Adele during the day, she also has a bigger profile than Arielle I think This is all assuming Jordan gets all 3 of the 10am-1pm weekend slots.

People on here have suggested Grimmy gets Fri/Sun 10am-1pm for a little while now. Maybe he could move there now? And Jordan takes drive? Just a thought

I agree I can see Matt and Mollie doing Christmas Day Breakfast over Scott. But maybe somebody like Jordan could do it? I would also really like to hear Jack Saunders on daytime maybe covering Clara? But maybe even on afternoons as if they are doing things like 'the 10hour takeover' as that is fairly fast paced. Also hope Arielle Free and Katie Thisilton both get daytime cover slots over Christmas.

Maya has got better but she still isn't very good in my opinion. Like others have said, at times Maya comes across as though she doesn't really care about being on Radio 1 but her social media would say the opposite as she is always posting videos of her in the studio on her Instagram story. I find that sometimes Maya tries to make her links longer but she ends up forgetting what she is saying. The other day she said 'and yeah' at the end of one of her sentences as she ran out of things to say. I also don't think she is creative enough as her show lacks ideas. I find both Jordon, Arielle and Katie much better broadcasters so would much prefer to have any of them on in her place but Maya is much more 'on-brand' to teenagers than all of them so I understand why she is there.

Annie previously hosted weekend afternoons and covered weekdays. It's weird to think she once did shows with a fair bit of personality. She also hosted 10pm-12am for 4 months when Grimmy moved to breakfast but before Phil Taggart and Alice Levine took over.

Alix Fox in for Cel with Katie on Life Hacks and Most Played tomorrow.

Also, Jordon is on Breakfast on the 28th!!!

He's now doing Clara's show so Arielle Free is in for Adele.

He's got his own show on 1Xtra every Sunday 10am-1pm.

I too am very surprised by this. The press realise doesn't mention that the show will be on 1Xtra either (as far as I can see). As Snoochie Shy is taking over 11pm-1am on 1Xtra maybe 1Xtra's current 11pm-1am shows will move to 9pm-11pm? Also it doesn't look like Snoochie's 1-3am Monday show is still happening either? I am looking forward to hearing Rickie, Melvin and Charlie on Radio 1 but I can't see them ever making daytimes as Rickie and Melvin are both 38.

Lots of changes on Friday 30th: Katie Thilslton in for Maya Jama Jordon North in for Scott Mills (Chart and Dance Anthems) Danny Howard in for Annie Mac Idris Elba in for Pete Tong (Idris did some dance shows on capital a few years back - I thought he was very good) The Black Madonna in for Danny Howard (surprised it's not Monki)

I can't rank my favourite shows but these are my top 8: Dance Anthems with Mistajam The 8th with Charlie Sloth Matt and Mollie Jordon North Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James Scott Mills (and Chris Strak) Radio 1's Indie Show with Jack Saunders Adele Roberts

I agree James Hall would be a good signing! I would love to see Jack Saunders on daytimes on the week between Xmas and New Year. I'm not that keen on Will Best but love Arielle Free and also enjoy Luke Franks so fingers crossed he covers again this year.
