    As long as each track has been correctly logged in the first place, this metadata is retained even when mixed into an Anthems 'chunk' or as part of a fully pre-rec show.  The dira! playout system links to the 'Now Playing' info.

    Basically, if done correctly, music is logged and marked on the system as 'send to public display' so it appears on Now Playing, but beds, imaging, trails, speech clips etc are not marked 'send to public display' so they don't appear on Now Playing, even though everything is played out of the same system.  This also generates the tracklistings on programme web pages - if these are ever blank it's because there was some kind of error with the music logging.

    I used to work at a radio station (not R1, think smaller!) so I have a bit of an insight into this, although I'm sure it varies.

    Where I worked, around half of the presenters were staff and half were freelancers.  Staff had to request leave and have it approved - freelancers could just say they were 'unavailable' but we would expect a reasonable amount of notice (apart from sickness) so that cover could be arranged.  At R1 I believe all of their presenters are freelance.

    We would have a list of presenters who could cover each show - their suitability would be based on profile, experience, other work/commitments, so lots of factors.  There would always be a preferred cover presenter for each show, and I think you can see that at R1 certain people tend to cover certain shows regularly - often they try to find someone 'similar' to cover.

    If more than one daytime presenter were off at the same time then you would also consider how the day 'sounded' in terms of different voices i.e. avoiding 3 male or 3 female presenters in a row, for example, so there was variety to the sound as you went through the day. 

    Part of my job was to book presenters to cover leave but the overall decisions around who could cover each show was made by the editor - the manager in charge of the station.  I would make the phone calls to arrange short notice cover, although at weekends there would always be a manager 'on call' who could make those decisions too.

    In my job, finding cover presenters was always fairly easy - it was much harder to cover a producer or newsreader who went off sick!

  10. Radio 1 Schedule Changes

    Week commencing Monday 4th January:

    • Rickie, Melvin & Charlie are in for Clara (Mon-Thurs)
    • Matt & Mollie are in for Scott & Chris (Mon & Tues)
    • Adele is in for Rickie, Melvin & Charlie (Mon-Thurs)

    I guess Clara and Scott are working during the week leading up to Christmas (unlike most of the weekday presenters) so this makes some kind of sense.

    Ah ok thanks. Do you know who's on for the rest of the weekend? I would guess Jordan will be on his normal show but I would be interested to see who's on weekend breakfast?

    As it stands, Matt & Mollie and Jordan are on air as usual.

    It will be interesting to see who does the weekend of the 2nd and 3rd as Dev has obviously left, I can’t see Matt and Mollie doing their final weekend breakfast shows then and I don’t think Adele or Arielle will work then as they would have new shows starting the week after. 
    I could potentially see: 

    7:00 Jordan North
    10:30 Katie Thistleton/Cel Spellman
    1:00 Riyadh Khalaf

    I think that could possibly work, however I’ve really got no idea! 

    Arielle is covering 1-4pm on the 2nd and 3rd.
