I don't think they do have every reason to stay together. If they are needed for Breakfast, Vick may want to leave Jordan to go to breakfast on his own because obviously Vick has left a big breakfast show already so there's no sign that she'll want to do another one, especially after the mental health comments she made re her departure from Capital.

I think by the seems of it September is now annually the month of actually reflecting touching up the station and making some altercations. I can see it as bit stability in managerial team to sort of plan to look of content where the station can say that doesn't work great at x time need more of this. By this lay out I imagine September 2023 may see potentially some changes in overnight programming whether thats just making changes to content after 1 AM or if some small changes to weekends. Maybe September 2024 will be the closest to next potential window of change to daytime or any major slots.

@Jonoi think rock and indie music comes around in cycles comes back bit different each time felt like the sort of late 00’s and tens period was very edmey and rap I mean when Stormzy began to breakthrough rap and grime was on a lot with what ever Calvin Harris, dancy tracks on playlists.  I also think may seeing Rock and Indie coming back into fashion as they are very emotive genres they tend to respond to the times of the day. Whether its experiences of racism, mental health and trauma, sexuality, covid, more unrest and more unpredictable right now. If theres a challenging time in the world we live in art responds. I mean in the hardest of times its art comes at a different quality. Reflecting the culture at the minute.
 

Lots to unpack. The specialist shows have been shuffled around a lot over the past few years.
Mollie King gaining what is effectively a specialist slot is surprising. Although it does reinforce Radio 1's commitment to new music and new artists. My first thought was Future Sounds already covers a broad range of new pop music... But I suppose it'll do the same as Future Artists, artists they champion will feed through to FS, then potentially onto daytime. I don't listen much after 7pm... hopefully it's a live broadcast.
Radio 1 has simulcast 7pm on Saturdays for many years.. so a little surprising it's going back to seperate shows. I've only ever listened to the Soundsystem once on BBC Sounds out of curiosity... But the bits I've heard of Jeremiah, it's a great promotion to the heart of the Saturday night schedule. Good to see a mostly dance focus on Saturdays again (with the D&B show moving there, nice to see Charlie Tee get her foot in the door at R1 after some cover stints)
It makes sense to move the Rock Show away from 9pm on a Sunday. A lot of the audience will have access to BBC Sounds... if they can't listen live on a Monday. It used to be on in the dead of night for many years anyway, before being moved to 7pm. I can imagine it's very jarring having the Rock show next to the Chillest Show. The Indie show will be a slightly better transition. Personally, I'd have the Indie show followed by The Chillest Show.
 
 

I wonder what spurred the announcement six months before the changes? Feels a while to wake before they take impact.
I'd have enjoyed the Sunday night mix of chill and indie in the summer months, but looking forward to staying tuned in for longer on a weekend. No disrepect to the Rock Show but it was a difficult mix on a Sunday night!
It's also interesting to see indie and rock seems to be back in fashion, it felt like there was a move away from it in the 2010s.

Elliot Darby in for Adele this weekend.

Surprised they don't do the chart of the year anymore 

Scott & Chris are now in for Greg this week (only Scott on Friday)- Scott seems to still be doing the chart on Friday.
Katie Thistleton is now in for Scott & Chris

@R1Fan1 It’s disappointing that they don’t have presenters giving facts about the years music they are playing conversations around the memories listeners would have round then adding bit of creative responses to said anecdotes and get the presenters to drop one or two interesting, funny relevant anecdotes to music playing. Some sort of text topic. I mean it would’ve been good if this week for different chuck some live longe sessions or Maida Vale sessions to make things interesting or a yesteryear quiz as an alternative yesterday quiz.
Think the presenters should be encouraged to give listeners facts about them or allow listeners to suggest questions to presenters to build a rapour 

To be honest it’s quite hard to tell about their personality from the anthems. They need longer links.

Best line up for years. Loving the new Radio 1

Christmas Eve I'll go with:
 
 
Early Breakfast Jess Izzatt
Breakfast Show Matt & Mollie
Mid Morning Dean McCollough
Afternoon Katie Thistleton (Christmas Eve is usually wall to wall Christmas songs, so maybe no party anthems)
Christmas Official Chart with Scott Mills
Normal Friday night lineup.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I hope the Christmas presenters get to present their own spin on The Radio 1 Breakfast show, Live lounge and afternoon shows rather than just anthem shows

How about this 
who would like to arrange a meet for members of the site in London near NBH? like a coffee/lunch scenario and see if Scott and some of the team could come to meet us and chat for an hour or so? I thought a Friday at like 11am to meet and invite Scott Chris maybe his producer? so we could meet our hero and just say hi or is it like weird? and people say you should never meet your idol? 

Just starting this thread just to see what people's thoughts are on this duo?
My first thoughts were WHAT? Matt deserves so much better than a co host he needs a weekday slot. 
Now I quite like the show Mollie seems to really enjoy what she's doing and doesn't seem to mind when Matt has a pop at her for doing something wrong. She's learning on the job like we all do. This has potential to be the best duo Radio 1 has seen since Colin & Edith. When I compare the show with Dev & Alice it's way better just been listen to those two this past week there is no spark or chemistry between them just feels like two good single talents have been shoved together for no reason? 
Thank you 
 

I feel this is perhaps the boost Radio 1 needs. Have penned my thoughts here.

Avicci Levels first song selected by a listener how touching. A bit of the old show already. So nervous for Greg it's silly.

I also think he's doing so well, it's another new lease of life for him and he's giving it the personality and having guests on like it needs and taking it back as it should be 
In the schedule shake up i'd have like to have seen Scott get 4-7 all the time again 

New show, new thread. 
It feels like Christmas eve! I'll be up at half-six tomorrow to listen, who's with me?
Wonder who the guest is? (Also that's a great book I would highly recommend). 
I wonder whether they'll do what Moyles used to do and have the news at 6:26 so they can start with the pips at half past?

- mentions how he's not used to getting up so early / strange being on the radio at a different time
- plays why hello there Jill clip
- live music
- George Ezra is a guest
- says afternoon instead of morning
- goes off playlist quite a bit
- some sort of mention about faders/studios/mics or something to keep the geeks happy
- some old Greg James show references that only his long time listeners/podcastards will get

Ahead of the first show on Monday, I wanted to put together a Greg James breakfast show bingo card. This is what I've got so far, is there anything to add?

I get what you mean. I listen to The Official Chart show every Friday religiously and over the last year especially it has become dominated by music you'd hear on 1Xtra. I'm 19 and I'm not a big fan of rap as a genre on the whole so it's nothing to do with age, people just have different tastes in music. The chart is definitely not fixed, but now they include streaming and video plays in the charts I think it's safe to say that rap's not going anywhere for the time being. As long as young people are listening to it, it'll be in the R1 playlist.
