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. 

Superb for Matt & Mollie, it’s richly deserved as the show is so good.
I honestly think they’re in for a Scott & Chris style long stint on the afternoon slot.
They also appear in the Top 10 Programmes for Under 35’s on BBC Sounds latest data too. M&M are 9th, Going Home is 5th, Greg is 4th with 10s & 00s taking the top 2 spots.
Help I Sexted My Boss has also made it into the Top 10 U35 podcasts on BBC Sounds for the first time!

Incredible to think they only just started and are already 2nd best on the station. Goes to show how much people wanted them on weekdays.

There’s no way capital fm has over 9 million listeners and radio 1 only 8 million 😂

Matt and Mollie are now the 2nd biggest show on the station! 

Would imagine so they did for R1Dance and R1Relax

Arielle is in for Danny on Friday 1st November.

I find it impressive and fascinating that Vernon still has the biggest morning show on radio. 
Given the dire warnings about Ken Bruce leaving, Radio 2 have still done well to keep that show's audience growing. 

Just to say once again i found the radio really moving and powerful yesterday. Greg is the best with these events, Matt&Mollie was a tough listen bless them. Scott had some of the most moving radio i have ever heard. Jordan,Chris and Sian did a great job on Capital too. Vick and Katie also

I can imagine it's true. He's a big reality television fan, I'm sure he'd jump at the opportunity!

Strange that Arielle is doing New Music Show and Rave Up back to back 

It’ll launch as Sounds only, but the BBC wants to place this, R1 Dance, R2 spin off & R3 Relax onto DAB - but they need to get additional approval for that to happen 

Honestly same, its strange how many of these spinoff stations both Bauer and global just start every so often while keeping the vast majority of the existing ones going. Partially it's a thing where they own the multiplexes so they do what the hell they like with them. And what they seem to do is just downgrade the Bitrate so more space on the multiplexes and they audience probably doesn't notice or care the drop in sound quality
