Did anyone hear how he finished the show on Friday? Just before the handover to Fearne? Just as The Verve was starting...

Chris: Last song from us on BBC Radio 1, thank you for listening, have a great life.

Dave: And a great weekend

Chris: From all of us to all you... bye bye.

But then no mention of anything in the handover.

What do we know?

1. No new contract has been signed. He is doing the show without a contract currently.

2. July is the time when a Radio 1 reshuffle is always announced.

3. He has been doing the show for 6.5 years.

4. Radio 1 are making a big effort to get younger listeners.

5. Recently, you may have noticed Dom left Newsbeat and signed a contract of his own with R1. The whole team are effectively a separate entity within Radio 1. Makes it easier for when they move to commercial radio for Chris, Dave and Dom to make a bunk together.

There is certainly something going on.

Dom signing with R1 is irrelivant he is a newsbeat reporter and would still have a job even if Chris did leave. I think people on here & CM.NET are reading far too much into it

Maybe so, but nothing lasts forever. One day he will leave. And I do believe its getting sooner rather than later. Doubt its tomorrow personally, but I wouldn't be surprised if we heard something soon.

Indeed he will move on much like Chappers I dont doubt that

Thing is, as much as going to a commercial station may see him being paid more etc, there'd be so many other restrictions and rules which commercial stations might enforce where the BBC has given him a LOT of (earned) leeway, for instance, they may want him to play more music than he does on the breakfast show etc, and also commercials. I think he's best sticking with BBC for now at least.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
