I think Abbie McCarthy will take that slot if Huw doesn’t leave before Annie
Never thought of that, could be !

Not on R1, Maybe Radio X or 6Music would take him for primetime
He could take over from Annie Mac at some point whenever she leaves, he’s a lot younger than her so it could happen

That wouldn't be a reason for the announcement to be delayed. Such a move would have been decided ages and ages ago.
Yeah, they’ll have known all the plans for months. Maybe some logistics have fallen through.

Anyone else find the lack of information about big weekend this year a bit strange? Greg said that the location would be announced last week and since then, it’s not been mentioned once. We normally also have a few acts announced as well by now but nothing for that either! It’s almost as if it’s all been cancelled or rearranged last minute.
It’s really weird. Radio 1 have almost gone silent since the Jan Slam about it. Maybe something’s gone wrong.

Think it's only Monday and Tuesday but I agree it is good, Phil's a really talented broadcaster who doesn't get nearly enough air time imo
Oh sorry, must’ve made a mistake there. Yeah, I completely agree, wonder if there’s still any hope of him getting a better slot.

Never really understood the idea that the chart is a great show to be the regular host of. Yes, it's a prominent role and has heritage but equally it's such a tight format that there's not much scope for doing anything with it.
I agree actually to a degree. Although it’s on at drivetime.

Pleased to see a full week of Phil is for Annie next week, always good to hear.

Jordan is through and through radio 1, with him being their up and coming talent, they won’t loose him. He left his job at Rock FM which was 5 days a week to go to radio 1 to do just cover work. He isn’t going to sacrifice his chances to go back to working for Capital FM which he’s done before.
yeah, and if he waits a bit more he'll probably be the next drive host, Grimmy's not gonna last long on there

Adele is off her normal show from this Thursday until Monday 4th March! Between the 25th Feb and 29th, she’s covering for Dev on the 8th. On Friday 1st, Alice is presenting on her own and Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd, Arielle is covering for them both!
How do we think Adele will sound on The 8th??

Greatest ‘brits’ at 10 all week with Clara - including booting Maya off friday
It sounded really good today. Clara fits that format so well, it shows how slick she can be as a music presenter.

I’ll give you a listen sometime!
Anyone heard Chris Evans on virgin yet? He’s been there 3 weeks or so and is now spreading rumours on his show https://radiotoday.co.uk/2019/02/chris-evans-says-talkradio-is-changing-to-talknews/
Try Kisstory for no personalitie the djs there announce records and plug the mobile app.
I cannot stand Capital. It’s just awful in my opinion.
same with heart it’s just capital but they play the same few songs on loop every show.
Random thought.. don’t know if relevant?
so if Radio 2 is the most listened to station in the UK. Does that make Radio 1 number 2?
Possibly lol
-
while we're talking about different stations, which do you prefer? Capital or Kiss. Kiss somehow has even less personality on it than Capital so I wasn't keen when I sampled it. Capital has it's moments for me, but obviously Radio 1 is, and will always be miles ahead.

Just going back to the book thing that was posted on his insta, I think it might be tap end but what about Lolathon 2? I seem to remember they used a book as the picture for the first one!
I still think it will be Tap End though especially as they’ve been playing old ones on the podcast!
Maybe a 48 hour lolathon, that would be incredible. I wonder if either Scott or Greg could go after the longest show moyles record this year, I’d really like to hear that.

I can see Scott being snapped straight up by a commercial rival as soon as he gets dropped from daytime on R1
The heart thing must be true
While we are on this - can we discuss Mills and Moyles; I thought they were good friends? seems not
He’s really snipey about moyles these days. Is it Breakfast show resentment? Surely not.

I love Adam and JoJo on Capital Yorkshire, Danny Mylo on Pulse 1 is good too. I think Absolute Radio is a fantastic station although I can't get on with the playlist - Bush and Richie I really enjoy. And if you like things more serious and speech-based, James O'Brien on LBC is fantastic.
I quite like LBC generally, for a bit of contrast from music radio.

Well Sloth did 1 Year on nighttime and left. But he had been doing bits and bobs B4 that.
When did Maya join. Oh yeah I forgot she had that awkward show with Scott and Chris last March I think I’ll check the podcasts here. I’m sure it was tilted ‘She’s Like a Walking Stag Do’ Have to admit back then I thought she was ok for a rookie. But she’s been there nearly a year. Every Day is like Day 1 *rolls eyes*
Why is Grimmy still at R1 forget Scott going to heart this year Nick should take over heart breakfast as he’s too old for Capital
Sloth had a long career on 1Xtra, not so long on Radio 1.

Don't think commercial radio would ever want Grimmy - on commercial, you can't get away with losing listeners!
exactly lol

Up in the West Midlands we get a local station called Free Radio the breakfast show on there is brill so sometimes listen to that sometimes Greg maybe Moyles.
Call me sad as its 2019, But I actually still own a radio So virtually it’s on when I’m home if I’m not on here or listening to old radio shows or random shows. I used to listen to the 8th with Sloth than Dev but that bores me now it’s so awkward it’s not funny anymore. It’s not Dev he just doesn’t suit the format. So I’ve been listening to random stations off DAB like Kisstory or Virgin Anthems(New)
I used to catch drive but don’t listen anymore now Grimmys there. Sometimes catch it in the car but only sometimes. Last time I heard him he had his reporter Sinead at the NTAS so about 3/4 Weeks ago now. Normally dip in and out to Mistajam on a sat. If I’m not busy that’s is
If im awake(It’s the weekend lol, Who wants to get up early?) might catch an hour of Matt and Mollie. Sometimes I put Maya on as background noice.
Cant stand the rock show don’t mind Pete or Tiffany if I’m in bed tired so on Sunday normally I flick over to Kissstory.
Im at work most days so miss Clara ,Scott. But listen to the podcasts for Mills. Rarely listen on a weekend apart from Matt And Mollie sometimes other shows in the car.
When Ricky Melvin and Charlie finally arrive I’ll give them a listen and if they got Rid of the rock show I will listen to more R1 at night.
I suppose they need the rock show for those fans, and it’s on a very off peak slot. Dev on The 8th, I go back and forth with, it’s not great, but it’s nice having him on weekdays, to be honest I’d have preferred him to get drive for an interim period rather than Grimshaw.

I understand that they're not going to get rid of Maya so soon after hiring her (even though she sounds very unprofessional, with seemingly no preparation for her shows at all, literally sounds like she rocks up at 5 to 10 and starts talking into the microphone aimlessly), but I definitely think they should take her off either Fridays or Saturdays and give that show to Arielle Free. That way it gives her more experience and sets things up nicely for both Jordan and Arielle to take more prominent slots on the next major schedule change (personally I can see that happening towards the end of 2020/start of 2021, and I think that's when we'll see the departure of Grimshaw).
Arielle is already in her 30s, although maybe she could take on a weekend slot.

I used to listen much more, but the lack of daily routine you have as a student isn't conducive to regular listening.
I never miss a Mills podcast, and on top of that his show is the one I most often listen to live as well. Greg I hear a bit of as well, although I alternate between him and Capital Yorkshire so don't listen every day. Clara I hear a fair bit of but again, not every day and Grimmy I listen to depending on what else I'm doing. At the weekends I usually catch Matt and Molly in their last hour, then most of Maya/Jordan and a bit of Dev and Alice too. So basically I don't listen that much at the moment except for Scott - which I didn't quite realise until I wrote this post. I used to listen much more - breakfast and drive every day when I was at school.
Yeah, Capital Yorkshire is really funny in the mornings sometimes. I always find Greg a bit bland in the mornings, (he was amazing on drive) but still listen most mornings, same for Matt and Mollie, from whenever I wake up (around 8am). Scott I hear a lot live, never a dull moment during that show, Clara too, but I swap over to Will Manning sometimes, because Clara gets a bit boring. Grimmy I hear a fair amount, even though that show isn’t the best, it’s gotta be a temporary thing, bring on Jordan North drivetime! I listen to Annie, Dev and Jack a bit in the evenings sometimes, depending on what I’m doing. Weekends, Dev and Alice I seem to catch a lot, Jordan too, and Maya, but I can’t believe she’s got such a prominent slot over people like Jordan and Matt.

I thought this would be really interesting to see. How much do you listen to Radio 1 on a daily basis? How does it fit into your daily routine? Does anyone listen through the day every/most days? I really look forward to finding out. Let’s see who listens the most.

I could see Scott just doing podcast
Because late last year he did The Strictly Come Dancing Podcast and now Eurovision. So this could be a sign, Just saying!
I can’t see that, Scott is a radio guy through and through, it’s his passion, it’s all he’s always wanted to do. He wouldn’t just do a podcast. Podcasts will more be a side project.

I always feel that Greg was always going to get Breakfast, although what was interesting in a youtube interview for Next Radio with Scott in 2012 just after Grimmy had taken over breakfast I am sure he is asked if he was dissapointed, and he talks about he knew it wasn't him also saying that him taking over from CM would be like for like, as they are the same age, he also hints about "the previous host not moving on" it's a good watch, if there are any others like this could anyone share? I would love to see the one he did last year with Chris at a convention or awards
Anyway I digress, I say Scott should have been the transitional man after CM but before Greg but history has been made now
I feel your right, 2019 will be the last year of the current line up, let's face it Greg and Scott have been part of daytime for the last 10 years and Scott 20, and Grimmy nearly 7 now, and Clara and Adele about 4/5 years each ? another key indicator is that Scott is the longest in his slow on Daytime now - although hasn't Annie Mac been in hers just as long?
Another one who gets short changed is Dev I feel, although on the other hand MistaJam has been around yonks and only recently taken over 1X drive, I wonder if the new Kiss lot coming onto nights is to get them in as a transition and they then take drive off Grimmy or even 1Xtra breakfast off Dotty, where they would be more at home
I can't see any more shuffles this year though, although we may see Scott start to cover R2 a bit as Sara is not going to be Zoe's cover, so I wonder who is? will it be Scott I wonder or will they use Mark Goodier or Trevor Nelson maybe - the right slot for Scott would be either Ken Bruces show or Steve Wright and again with R2 having made major changes recently are they going to again with their daytime middle of the day anchors - i doubt it and Steve and Ken have a massive following
Will Vine leave? maybe but that's not a music show
I can see Scott keeping the chart though for a few years
Really really good points. Yeah, the chart is secure Scott if he wants to stay on it for a few years I’m sure. A bit like Mark Goodier all those years ago.

Annie Mac only took over Monday - Thursday in 2015, she’s got a good while to go yet, I’m sure.
Pretty sure Sara Cox confirmed on her Twitter that she was still going to be breakfast cover for Zoe as well.
I would hazard a guess at the next person getting drive will be Jordan, the Kiss FM people themselves are surely too old to be taking over a daytime slot with Rickie and Melvin both 38.
You could argue that Ricky Charlie and Melvin are very young in terms of their appeal and relevancy, more so than people like Greg, as they have a quite credible “cool” imagine. But it’d be very surprised if a trio including someone who’s nearly 40 took over drivetime, if that happened it might highlight a bigger problem at the station. Where are the new Greg and Grimmy of today? The young upstarts who take on Breakfast and drive. Jordan? Nearly 30, doubtful he’ll ever do more than a few years on drive, massively underused, and should’ve got a bigger gig yonks ago. Looking at presenter ages now, and listening (as a teenager) a LOT of what I hear seems to be slipping a bit too old. I have no idea why they got Mollie on, she’s 30, and no teenager I’ve ever met would be a fan of/or even heard of her. When you look at the ages, and hear the content, it’s slowly (very slowly, but getting faster) becoming like the early 90s, it’s going to need a proper cull at this point, with a clear out and lots of younger talent to bring in. Unless they do something a bit less drastic very very soon. That’s how I feel listening anyway, it’s still the best radio station in the world, but it’s becoming a bit older in appeal, it’s needs to regenerate again. I’m not saying having older listeners is bad, I think anyone who likes it should listen, but I’m more concerned about it not appealing to the target demographic, who is the only people they should have in mind when creating content, if others enjoy then brilliant, but they aren’t who it’s being aimed at. Ironically Scott actually sounds the youngest to me out of daytimes, and completely bang on target, compared to the likes of Clara or Greg.
by the way, I’m brand new to posting here, but I’ve been reading for a couple of years, and it’s absolutely brilliant to be speaking to others who care out these dicusssions as much as me
