  1. Vick Hope to replace Cel Spellman on Life Hacks

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    Didn’t Maya do Friday’s with Scott alongside Saturday 10-1 straight away? Then moved to 10-1 both days when Friday officially became part of the weekend? 
     

    Vick is an interesting signing, be good to hear how she copes away from commercial radio.

    I don’t rate Katie much when covering other shows, she’s fine on Life Hacks though 

  5. New Schedule

    in BBC Radio 1

    I’ll be honest, don’t rate Arielle - but I’m never awake for weekend early breakfast, so didn’t bother me. But I think she’ll clearly be the weekend cover for Dev/Jordan now.

    It’s a shame about the inconsistency, would be nice to at least have weekdays vs weekends in line. I wonder if Anthems will see Matt & Mollie do the first set and then Jordan from 10:30 (just to mirror the week day show times?)

    Very happy Jordan has 3 shows a week, overdue!

    Agree with your statement about getting rid of the party anthems. In addition, they could have really got rid of Radio 1 Anthems too to give Jordan and Dev three hours each. Yes, it wouldn't line up with the daytime schedule, but it's better than a needless pre-record.

    What do you mean? Anthems 10-11 isn’t pre recorded? As they regularly give out mentions.

  7. Alice Levine leaves Radio 1 after 9 years

    They have still been appearing on each other’s weeks to play features like Beat Fighter.

    i wondered if it was more a technical arrangement that meant they weren’t together. The first week of the new schedule they were (Alice in the Studio, Dev at Home) but when their show came round again with Dev in the Studio... Alice wasn’t on because “She has rubbish WiFi” ??‍♂️

    I haven’t listened to the station much lately, and I read on Facebook that her tone of voice lately gives a vibe that she just doesn’t want to be there anymore. Is this true, would anyone agree?

    Not true. It’s her style & has not really changed in the last few years.

    I am really going to miss Dev & Alice together. It is definitely the best weekend show right now by a mile. Once they found their stride, they gelled well together & it’s my type of humour.

  9. How have you found the lockdown schedule?

    in BBC Radio 1

    I’m missing the 6:30 till 7am bit of Greg’s show. Usually a space for a bit of random silliness and just a little “club” for those listening. It’s going to be a shame this week when we effectively lose the 10-11 hour to Anthems.

    I agree it’s hit & miss on the 11-3 slot. Scott’s weeks are great, I like the golden moments & the quiz is great fun everyday too. But then Clara’s weeks leave a lot to be desired as they’re just bland shows. You could argue it suits the slot better though (work day etc) but I don’t want to talk Scott out of his show!!

    Weekends. The rotation is fine, but yes, like you’ve said I do miss Dev & Alice being on together. How haven’t they made it work? Matt & Mollie seem to alternate who is at home/in the studio, so do Ricky, Melvin & Charlie.

    Jordan’s shows have been great too, he’s got some really fun features. Ironically more regular features from his 1 show a week than Matt & Mollie seem to have running at the moment.

    I do wonder if reverting back for the ‘normal’ schedule could be an easy way to make a few changes. Possibly to weekends yeah. 

  18. Radio 1 Schedule Changes

    Covers W/E 21st October:

    • Rickie, Melvin & Charlie are off so Adele Roberts sits in for them
    • Katie Thistleton is sitting in for Adele
    • Jordan is sitting in for Scott
    • Phil Taggart is in for Annie

    So far this year, Scott has been covered by: Dev & Alice (twice), RMC & now Jordan?

  21. More changes on the way in September

    in BBC Radio 1

    Posted

    I wonder if the changes to the start time of ‘Weekend Breakfast’ will mean we’ll see a shake up to features and content in the show?

    For example, they open the lines for “Pop Luck” about 6:50 and play it about 7:15.

    I think the show is sounding quite stale already, so could probably do with it?

  23. Does Radio 1 need a refresh?

    in BBC Radio 1

    I think the schedule could do with a bit of a shake up, personally i'd rather see something like

    Weekdays:
    4am - Arielle Free
    6:30am - Greg James
    10am - Adele Roberts
    1pm - Scott Mills
    4pm - Dev & Alice

    Weekends:
    6am - Matt & Molle
    10am - Jordan North
    1pm - Grimmy [not sure...]

    Possibly swapping Scott with R, M & C after a few more years?

    I don't think we need Clara or Maya. I'd quite like to see Jordan on a daytime slot, but I am not quite sure where to put him. Unless he gets drive with Dev & Alice taking over from Scott - I really enjoy the style of their show at the weekends right now. But I kinda feel it'd be miss-understood by a casual listener who might not understand their 'banter'.

    I'd probably also ditch this 3-day-weekend thing. Have Greg & 10-1 on 5 mornings a week, with maybe the same afternoon show on Fri-Sun and Scott still on the Friday chart.
