Arielle in for Adele this weekend.

First of all I think it’d be unlikely that Jordan and Vick are split off. Jack bring on in the afternoon is believable but the second half of that show would probably be the Chart. I wonder if the Boxing Day schedule is in fact the Xmas day schedule. They usually have a takeover on that day? Arielle then Sarah followed by maybe Danny would be a good schedule for the rest of the day, with Scott on breakfast, if not Vick and Jordan? Dean being on weekdays would be weird considering that they usually have exclusively Christmas presenters, but even weirder would be to move Jordan, by himself, out of his usual slot and be replaced with Dean who could slot into the mid morning slot.

Greg said that all of the DJs will be recording a video message along with some printed texts from viewers and they’ll deliver it to Adele

RAJAR figures return this Thursday. Will be interesting to see how the station is doing listener number wise.

Best wishes to Adele on her recovery

I’d argue that they need to promote Radio 1 a bit more on TV. I don’t think there’s been a trailer recently except for the breakfast show last year. One to promote the new line up might have been a good idea.

On the topic of Radio 1 on TV, they have ‘The Live Lounge Show’ back on BBC Four next Friday night, hosted by Rickie, Melvin and Charlie.

Take it Stacey, Scott Makin, Lauren and Kat are new Christmas presenters? 4pm on Xmas Eve will be the chart.

Annie Nightingale is hosting a special edition of her show celebrating female DJs on Saturday 6th November from 10pm - 1am.

Vicky Hawkesworth joins Katie on Life Hacks this Sunday.

Potentially they might be piloting the duo to see if Katie could potentially host with Dean full time, leaving Sam and Danni to do life hacks permenantly?

Did Cel choose to leave or was he pushed out?

September marked a big change for radio 1, with numerous new shows launching across the station. My thoughts on the changes were very mixed. I really like the new drive show, Vick and Jordan are the new big stars of the station and they are definitely future breakfast presenters. Rickie, Melvin and Charlie have been a bit more mixed for me. They seem too muted and constrained by the format of their show, I really want them back on evenings where they can get a bit louder and exciting, where they’re at their best for me. Future Artists at 8pm just doesn’t do anything for me at all, it’s too niche and the majority of the music is indie which gets very boring very quickly. Clara on Future Sounds is fine, she’s picking good music and she’s better there than in daytime. On weekends, I know Dean has been a bit marmite but I’m loving his show, great features and chat, very similar to Jordan. But what do you think?
