2nd January:
6am - Sam & Danni
10am - TBC
2pm - Lauren Layfield
6pm - Jack Saunders
3rd January:
6am - Sam & Danni
10am - Nat O’Leary (no Anthems in the schedule yet)
2pm - Party Anthems with James Cusack
4pm - Chart with Jack Saunders
6pm - Danny Howard
8pm - Sarah Story

Seems it just going to be Anthems again. I said it before and I'll say it again. It is such a waste of talent, and simply is boring. Really wish they'd do normal shows.

Nick Grimshaw in for Rylan on Saturday 14th and 21st December.
Christmas week is slowly starting to update. Ellie Brennan is listed on overnight, Gaby Roslin on breakfast, Gary Davies on mid morning and Spoony on mid afternoon. 
 

Connor Coates is in for Charlie Hedges on Saturday 30th November.

That is indeed the case with Joel Mitchell doing Early Breakfast W/C 9th December.

Spoony in for Scott tomorrow. He's covering 'at least' two weeks from Monday 9th November. 

Vicky is covering early breakfast the week commencing the 25th November. I guess they’re using all the Salford presenters so we might see Nat the week after.

In terms of what I predict with knowing what we know:
Monday 23rd:
6am Dean McCullough 
10am RMC
2pm Sam and Danni
6pm Sian Eleri
8pm Jess Izzatt
Christmas Eve:
The same until
6pm Danny Howard (pre record)
8pm Sarah Storey (pre record)
10pm Pete Tong (pre record)
Christmas Day:
7am Sam and Danni
11am James Cusack?
2pm TikTok takeover
6pm Greg James highlights
8pm Sian Eleri Chillest show highlights 
Boxing Day-30th:

10:30 Nat and Vicky
1pm Ore Olukoga
4pm Dance Anthems/Life Hacks
6th January:
I would expect everyone to be back (except Jamie Laing at a guess)

I completely agree - they also have such a strong B Team now (and SO MANY presenters that don’t get much of a chance with double header shows etc) that it would be nice to see them at Christmas. 
 
You could very easily see a Christmas week schedule of:
5am - James Cusack
7am - Sam and Danni
10:30am - Nat and Vicky
1pm - Ore
3:30pm - Lauren
And that’s with every single normal presenter being off!

I missed the days where it was 'normal' personality led shows (even if it was different music, but it was without the pre mixed 'blocks') and the 'B' team such as Adele Roberts Matt Edmondson, Dev etc. stepped up (with Scott & Chris on Breakfast). 

Charlie did NYE last year didnt she?

Dean on brekky 23rd & 24th Dec, Sam & Danni on Going Home.  Poss 6-10, 10-2, 2-6 timings?  No early brekky.
Sam & Danni on brekky 25th Dec, 7-11?
Charlie Hedges NYE show 10pm-1am.
Sam & Danni on brekky 2nd & 3rd Jan.  Poss 4 hr shows again.

Now that we have Radio 1 Anthems as a station it would seem a bit redundant to have two radio stations doing non stop anthems for a week. Maybe that'll give them incentive to do something different on Radio 1 that week for once?

The new schedule?

Arielle Free in Edinburgh, so won't be available NYE.

It took them bloody long enough to announce! 😂
All jokes aside, great changes. Jerry feels an inspired shout to put alongside Matt while Mollie is on leave, those of us who banged the James Cusack drum feel justified and Sam & Danni will fill that M&M hole on weekend afternoons perfectly.
Do slightly wonder how necessary a weekend Early Breakfast show is (especially at just an hour) but I guess it's a way to get Ore and Swarzy's foot in the door permanently.
And best of all no influencers or Danny Beard in sight. Danny's spell hopefully now being assigned to the Lisa L'Anson section of the Radio 1 history book.

Loved the review and gave you a subscribe as well

21st November: Matt Edmondson is listed as the solo presenter on Pop Anthems so looks like Mollie is off that day.

First Christmas 2024 shows are in the schedule!
3rd December - 2am-4am: Christmas Anthems with Greg James
5th December - 5am-7am: Radio 1 Happy Christmas Anthems with Maia Beth
They might appear earlier on Radio 1 Anthems but those schedules don't go as far for now. 

James has been the strongest by far. It'll be a shame if he's overlooked. Emil has been a decent listen these past few weeks too. They're the two that have stood out for me.
I do think the best idea would be to move Sam & Danni to Friday-Sunday afternoon with a new solo presenter on weekend breakfast. 
I wonder what the deal was with that Jack Remington, who popped up during the summer detention thing? Wasn't it mentioned that they referred to a new presenter then he walked in?

I'd like to see it given to Joel Mitchell, who's really grown in confidence since his earlier cover stints. Emil and James are great too but tbf have been around on various stations for a few years now, and it would be good to see new talent be given a chance.

It's become a running discussion point on here and elsewhere how ever since Matt & Mollie stopped doing the 1-4pm slot on Friday to Sunday it's become a bit of a lucky dip with no permanent replacement for Matt & Mollie yet selected or any indication of when or if there'll be a permanent replacement.
In a way I'd rather they take their time and select a good replacement rather than Danny Beard it (in fact I wish they'd done this strategy with Going Home after Jordan's exit until Katie agreed to do the show from LONDON?!) .
Who's impressed so far of those you've heard? Probably stating the obvious but IMO James Cusack and Emil Franchi have been standouts and could easily if they wanted to do the slot full-time from tomorrow. Both strong listens and had good features. Can't help both were slightly overlooked in the 2022 changes.

Maybe they don't all want to be GANG-Stas, after all.

Given how quick Radio 1 and Jamie were to hype up Going Home's figures last time they are sort of conspicuous by their complete lack of mention and we know Matt & Mollie are the 2nd most popular Radio 1 show now (and presumably Breakfast is #1).
In unrelated news, strong set of RAJARs again for Jordan on that there Capital.

I believe it's the Capital Network or as they call it 'the Capital brand' that's got 9m not CapitalFM. CapitalFM is around 6m, I believe. Global tend to group stations as a network/brand as it makes it sound better.  It's like Heart's 12.99m figure is all of Heart's stations added together.  HeartFM on it's own is around 7m. Which is still a good figure.
Interestingly Bauer claim Greatest Hits Radio has 7.4m as a single station making it the UK's biggest commercial radio station.  That would beat HeartFM.  Global has always had the biggest commercial radio station with HeartFM so to lose it would be quiet a big thing.  
Radio 1 and Capital have likely done well thanks to the drops KissFM and Hits Radio.
