    I could see Annie leaving to focus on family. Could move Jack up in to that slot with his future artists in a prime time slot? I think I’d  push RMC back to a 10PM slot. Maybe you could slot Clara into that 8-10PM slot. And move Vick(with Katie) to mid mornings and hire someone new (An Xmas presenter?) to take over Life Hacks/Chart first look.

    I'd have Clara 6-8pm, Jack 8-10pm and RMC 10pm-Midnight.

    It would make most sense for Clara to move on and Vick & Katie to take over mornings...

    To be honest, I'd love to see Clara take over Annie full time Monday to Thursday. I think Clara is great on evenings whenever she covers.

    I could see Vick Hope getting Clara's spot soon, putting her on breakfast seems a very high profile decision

    Maybe a straight swap, could see Clara on life hacks

    If Vick was on mids which I can see happening, then it'd be great to get some more regular mental health features

    Ooh that’s interesting - correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s the first time he’s covered a proper daytime show as opposed to him doing the Indie Show on the nighttime takeover? 

    Yes I think it is! I'm very interested to hear how he sounds. I really rate him as a broadcaster and he seems to have a great personality so him covering Grimmy should be good!

  6. 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 :(

    Hoping Katie gets a promotion first, though. But yes, I suspect Vick is only temporarily in the Sunday slot.

    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

    Surely time Arielle Free and Adele Roberts got more airtime on the station?

    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.

    I can see Matt and Mollie doing it(unfortunately) 

    I can see their being Xmas Anthems... Maybe Katie on mid mornings. Arielle in the afternoon. Jordan on drive. Probaly Jack in for Annie. Abbie in for Jack. 

    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. 

  10. 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.

    Oh yeah I forget Annie has been around for a while 

    but she didn’t get her big break until Zane left.

    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.

    Whats the deal with Sideman, now that Charlie Sloth has disappeared in a puff of smoke? 

    Does he have a permanent contract with R1? I just assumed he was paid freelance and would go with CS?

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

    That is a move I did NOT see coming. A very bold move of Radio 1 to directly poach an entire commercial breakfast show. They're clearly not scared of Radiocentre anymore. And about time too. That's the third time they've taken from commercial radio this year (and the second time from Kiss). 

    That said, I've never been hugely impressed whenever I've heard Kiss Breakfast. But we'll see.

    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. 

  14. 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) 

  15. 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

    Hopefully we'll see the return of Greg's Christmas Day breakfast show - that was always something I looked forward to. I reckon we'll be hearing a lot of Jordan North again, Scott on breakfast for at least some of the time and maybe a bit of Dev and Jack Saunders. I doubt Alice would agree to work over the Christmas period though. Or Maya Jama. Maybe Molly King would though - that would be interesting. Arielle Free will probably pop up a fair amount, and maybe Will Best as well. I'd like to see someone from commercial radio get a shot at doing some early breakfast cover over the festivities - I'm a big fan of James Hall and I think Radio 1 would be fools not to sign him up. But that's a long shot. 

    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.
