Quite ironic he will end up on capital after years of digs at commercial radio…!

Suspect that this list has been something they’ve had for a long time even if it’s not been published on the website. Don’t see the problem with adding songs like Murder on the DanceFloor given it’s at number 2 in the chart, and I suspect that it will largely be used for songs that have recently departed the A List for most of the time.

A load of archive content has arrived on bbc sounds, including grimmy’s show with Annie that they did to celebrate 50 years of her on the station. 

In fairness she only started making genuine references to it recently.

I wonder if Clara will depart permanently next? Maybe they’ll give Jack future sounds, then bring back the entertainment show at 8pm with Arielle. Play more newer music during future sounds, it does seem like (especially in the first 45 minutes) they’re playing songs which are on the radio 1 playlist anyway (and it’s even more baffling when this selection includes Beyoncé songs that were released 10 months ago).

Is this the new schedule then?
5am - Sam & Danni
7.30am - Greg James
11am - Rickie, Melvin & Charlie
1pm - Dean & Vicky
3pm - Anthems with Dean & Vicky
3.30pm - Vick & Jordan
6pm - Jack Saunders
8pm - Arielle Free

If you make an account and follow radio 1 on the site then you can see their plays of the tracks and artists as well. 

I don’t think they’ll get rid, it seems to cover their live set and outreach remit, and of course provides a way to engage with the fans of the station.
Of course it’d be cheaper for them to just do that Out Out concert they did in 2021 every year, but that would mean they don’t met the above two points if they did that. And of course, it’d be a bit bland doing it in Wembley every year.

I mean I've seen presenters flogging their own merchandise before but not on sale in an actual store!
Spotted this one in Tesco:

I assume Pete Tong gave it the green light. 

The problem with both those shows these days is that there is so much content of both these days. There are Radio 1 Dance and Relax streams, plus the programmes air every day on the station itself in relatively primetime slots, so the flagship shows for both genres simply don’t feel as special anymore.

My other one is that since the start of the year at least Rickie, Melvin and Charlie’s show has become a lot better. It does feel like they hold back a little bit but their show is definitely a lot better and has more of an identity since it started in September 2021 and sounded almost as vanilla as Friday early breakfast. 

That life hacks series is at 8pm when Future Artists/Pop is usually.

Radio 1 Breakfast up by about 200,000 to 4.26m.

Radio 1 also have a Last.Fm page which has most of the songs played since 2006. Not as searchable but still has songs and times:

Yes evidence of Greg James or Katie Thistleton disliking or hating on Dean McCullough is no more than conspiracy and fabricating reality. We don’t know what is says off air and off twitter. Lesson is don’t read into things that much

Elliot Darby in for Adele this weekend.

To be honest it’s quite hard to tell about their personality from the anthems. They need longer links.

I was sent this which is apparently this year's Christmas schedule so far. It's anonymous so take with a pinch of salt!

Tomorrow begins easily the biggest schedule change since Greg and Grimmy swapped, and considering the breadth of the change, even though breakfast stays the same, maybe an even bigger change.
Lots to talk about and lots to listen to tomorrow, who’ll be listening, and what are we most looking forward to hearing?

I thought it would be good to have a dedicated thread for us to give our thoughts on the new shows over the next few days/weeks and beyond!

Katie has her own show page so her shows have been put under the show name ‘Katie Thistleton’ not under ‘Jordan North.’ When Jack covered (and for that matter when Harpz covered Matt and Mollie as well) they put it under the show title ‘Jordan North’ but the episode was called ‘Jack Saunders in for Jordan North.’

From R1 article:
The free tickets (note: standard booking fees apply) will be distributed to young people across the UK, with the help of The Prince’s Trust, UK Youth and Youth Music.
A special selection of tickets will also be available to listeners via on-air competitions. Keep listening to Radio 1 to find out how to join the party.
