Sounds good to me ...

I’d consider trying Nat O’Leary in the early morning slot in a temporary before a future move.
Assuming when referencing Future Artists may mean sounds I’d possibly consider in the long term commissioning some more ambitious programmes and projects but in the meantime would have.
Radio 1 Future Sounds as 18:00-21:00 extending it to blend mix of the future sounds and his future artists programmes in a mix and trying to focus it on the music that mostly came out of the last month and at stretch last 3 months. Maybe bring back the Radio 1 Review show in it to be go in-depth looking at other albums and EPs out that week. Focus on providing some extended interviews and feature live sessions and mixes. 
Have Arrielle Free do 21:00-23:00 with still focus on playing new music and her choices and curations of her favourite new music and something that could have a dance and electronic influence and having mix of regular co-hosts from the world of comedians to media personalities that fit the stations audience like tv people and such and having mix of entertainment bits.
I’d scrap the power down playlist but have at 23:00-00:00 have
Mon - Lifehacks Late 
Tue - Radio 1 Interviews 
Wed - Artist In Residence 
Thur - Radio 1 Residency
00:00-02:00/02:00-04:00 mix of the stations other specialist music programming. Including airing programmes from Casskid, Sir Spyro from 1Xtra in that slot.
 

I do think it will be something that the stations controllers be testing out and seeing if it could work. But always thought having some of the weekend presenters or some of the stations bench presenters to cover shows in the summer would be good. I do think that even though if there isn’t major changes come September but having a break or seasonal programming could lead to fresh ideas and re-energised producers and presenters if the usual formats and presenters are taking a short rest. Would hope next summer they get more creative especially in the evening programmes

I do hope that Jack Saunders would work well full time in that slot and would like to see the more hype and some energy to that time slot I’d think he would be able to lean in to lesser mainstream and have a varied playlist. But by then I’d like to see a bit of a re-think and re-imagined Future Sounds brand would like to have included Future Global, Future Groove, Future Beats, to Bars and would like to see.
One thing in any change to what the BBC does with its programming is to have a clear brand station name for interest as said before BBC Sports Sounds, BBC News Sounds, BBC Future Sounds, Forever Sounds…
But back to reality and not my niche fantasy that is marmite if Jack Saunders got Future Sounds would like to see this era have any session as labelled as a Live Lounge so could be recorded from in the BBC building and can do in the room interviews and try to focus on BBC Radio 1 Interviews offering and maybe doing a renamed spin of the midnight drop with free tracks that dropped that day or first plays from the show. I would like to see some minor tweaks to the format and maybe some lessons to how New Music Fix Daily is going and bring his confident and entertaining personality,

To me what loses the magic is that with iTunes/Apple Music, Spotify, Shazam, Deezer, Amazon Music, YouTube and Tidal have their own streaming charts on their platforms and with the days of looking at the charts on the website these days can just google and find it all out. 

Yes, the internet look for yourself and having an archive is incredibly important and exploring the facts of the record and maybe having more interviews with chart acts and speaking to those who top the album charts. Getting bit creative and doing something different beyond hearing what is up on the official charts webpage.

I do think for a space for a few weeks to adjust is odd to move the timings of the breakfast show that would for those who work through the summer seems to be odd for the regular routines of listeners. I wonder if this could be indications that at the end of Annie Mac’s tenure in the ‘Future Sounds’ slot that Clara Amfo became more regular on that slot. Wonder if in the next few months Clara would be announced to move on.

How many years has the sausage family been number one for like four or five gets to predictable.

I’d consider making it from atleast reduce it to 17:00-17:45
But embed it in new programme of ‘Radio 1’s Trending Show’ reflect some show-biz music and entertainment news look at some of the movies out at the weekend and what to watch on streaming and also highlight the trending songs on TikTok and a future artist of the week.

The programme could always be shortened slightly (and/ or expand the Album Chart feature), to account for too much repetition ...

Yep could not agree more it is over 20 years now since i started listening to Radio 1 because of my obsession with the Chart. I still really enjoy it. But when you think you have got rid of the Harry Styles track and it comes right back into the top 10.

I think it is defiantly has become integral to the brand and what you associate of radio 1 to document the weekly music trends and popular music and tracks. But with tracks sticking in weeks and months in the charts with little change have it being new number one every other week and bit easy and more competitive environment to getting into the top of the chart these days would make it interesting.
If there was bit more difference and change it would be more of a listen but think its not Radio 1 to blame but the chart doesn’t feel surprising or exciting. 

I'd say it was an integral and iconic part of BBC Radio's offerings ... But then, I used to think that of the Classified Football Results.

I’m not sure about Matt but Mollie with a baby and Stuart with the cricket almost certainly rules her out of a Glasto weekend 

I was thinking that, could see her popping up covering on Radio 2 and 5 Live like Scott did and Sara before him but if she gets a job anytime soon it will be Heart or something else commercial. It could be anywhere but Heart have form on recently left Radio 1 people because of Dev being there now. Yasmin Evans from 1Xtra springs to mind too. Wish her luck wherever she is going, even if I know I won't listen.

He can say or not say it but agree with @R1Fan1 that its doesn’t deserve its own gossip topic.  We should be passed the point and move on from sexuality gossip and poking noses in peoples private lives. @AndyK77 If you are bisexual its not ‘mostly gay’.
 

Love Jordan and dont care what his sexuality. Im bisexual and dont bang on about it

I agree that when it comes to our own identities whatever language you use is fine and I don’t have the right to tell you words to use. So I respect that.

Sexuality is a spectrum and I feel that description fits me better than bisexual.

Perfectly summed up here a year or two ago:
https://graziadaily.co.uk/life/in-the-news/is-jordan-north-gay-straight-partner-wife/

Good thing about Jordan I feel he’s decent to tell a joke in a respectful and non-offensive way. I think it doesn’t matter to the listener his sexuality is. I don’t expect presenters to divulge their personal relationships not unless they want to. If Jordan says he’s bisexual, he’s bisexual. The only one that knows Jordan North’s sexuality is Jordan. I take his or anyones word on their personal life as its no one else’s He might not talk about having a girlfriend boyfriend as he may not be in a committed relationship at the minute.
That said I know that sharing something as personal will gain much respect and the listeners would find it may help them to hear. But he shares what he likes.

Right about Kylie but wrong about their attempts to make this an event for younger audiences.

Forgot that the Leeds event last year was cancelled due to the Queen's death. 

... Soddit, reading back through this, it occurs to me I've been persisting with the show for 2 years now - That's long enough - I'm sticking with Huw, on Radio Wales (Mollie's 'Future Pop' on Thurs still a good listen, though ...)

Have to agree here.  I have nothing against Clara and don't mind her but I have zero positive emotion either.
Jack would be much better in this slot and him replaced by Kerrie Cosh, Alyx Holcombe or Nels Hylton.  I'd probably prefer Kerrie as she has a broader taste in music.

That's what I assumed the 'rationale' to be, too. Unfortunately, she'll often go on to add insult to injury by mentioning the key information (i.e. artist name!) as a throwaway mumble at the end!  Unless you've got a device which shows you the tracks being played (and maybe that's an automatic assumption also, on her part), you're gonna miss it ...
