Interesting that the station has virtually been in obit mode this morning with a couple of features dropped… makes sense tho as I can’t really think of the last artist whose death would’ve had such an impact

Perrie’s appearance on the breakfast show has been delayed because of the news

Connor Knight hosting with Danni on 26th October, and then Connor solo on 27th October.

Something Songs is ending today so I’m guessing it’s being replaced by the Jamie Game.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00235rd ‘The Jamie Game’ is listed as the show title on Thursdays from next week. Is Jamie finally turning up on Thursdays?

Because it feels like we’ve suggested him for a new slot so many times and it’s seemingly unlikely to happen

Random thought for the new slot - Lauren Layfield on Friday and Saturday and someone else (probably wasted space saying James Cusack) doing Sunday so she can stay on Life Hacks.

This has been taken off the schedule at some point and Greg and M&M are on at normal times tomorrow (although Matt was off today). And apologies about the mistake with Going Home although Vick said that it’d only be Jamie and Katie on today’s show at the end of yesterday’s show.

Just Katie and Jamie today, and it was only Vick and Jamie yesterday and on Monday, meaning it’s another week without the full trio together.

Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month 2024 line-up is: Monday 30 September – Camila Cabello Wednesday 2 October – Fontaines D.C. Friday 4 October – TBC Monday 7 October – Shawn Mendes Wednesday 9 October – Glass Animals Friday 11 October – FINNEAS Monday 14 October – Jungle Wednesday 16 October – TBC Friday 18 October – Perrie Monday 21 October – Tom Grennan Wednesday 23 October - beabadoobee Friday 25 October – JADE Monday 28 October – Michael Kiwanuka Wednesday 30 October – TBC

Maybe the two things are linked and RMC are doing Fridays permanently from October. Would be long overdue and the move would coincide with LL month. Then maybe Nat and Vicky are moving to 1-4pm and someone new (🤞James Cusack) is doing Saturdays and Sundays 10.30-1.

Sam and Danni in for Greg on Tuesday.

In an alternate universe we talk about R1 DJs like they talk about Jordan

I think the presenter of that slot will be coming straight from another station, potentially from within the BBC like Nikita. I notice Swarzy is covering a weekend slot in a few weeks, I wonder if she’d be another name they’re considering, and they’re waiting for a point to make all of the changes at once. Unless they’re waiting until January, it won’t be Sam and Danni because they’re booked in on Friday EB until then and they wouldn’t have put them on that slot if they were planning to move them halfway through the given tenure.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sam and Danni have been booked to do drive that week as Vick is definitely off and then Katie is also off for one of the weeks that Vick is, although it’d probably make more sense to put Jamie with one of Vicky and Lauren and then have Sam and Danni on Going Home.

Katie, Sam and Danni are doing Going Home next Monday

Rio is still doing the next few weeks on Capital so I doubt she’s making the move to Radio 1, or she’d be on gardening leave already.

I imagine that if they’d give it to her they’d promise her something bigger in the future, i.e. she’d be put next in line for a daytime slot when/if RMC/Vick or Jamie depart.

The schedule updates automatically I believe, so Friday 1pm is currently programmed to ‘Summer on Radio 1.’ Someone will need to change that manually and so the announcement could still come in the next week or so that James/Ore/Nikita/anyone other than Danny Beard is doing the slot.

Both Mollie and Vick are off on Monday

Ore is on from 13:00 - 16:00 on 30th and 31st August. ’Summer on Radio 1’ is still listed on 6th September although without a presenter currently.

Nat O’Leary is presenting with Charlie Hedges and it’s just Katie and Jamie today.

Yes it is. I was wondering who would cover it now it’s from Salford. Vick will also be off that week because of the Paralympic’s but I’m guessing there’ll be no cover and Katie and Jamie (well, Katie on her own for some of it) will hold the fort.

A bit more from an embargoed email that Jamie Laing’s shared on Instagram, with the Going Home show reaching 3.3m. Capital breakfast was also up to 2.8m, with a 261,000 increase the majority of whom are probably Jordan fans from Radio 1.

Danny Howard’s new show begins next Thursday at 6pm and will be simulcast on Radio 1 as well as being broadcast on R1 Dance.
