Studio usage for new schedule

[abertom]

Just been thinking that some presenters never seem to take time off so wondered how holidays worked - Dev, Huw Stephens, Matt Edmondson (was gonna say Nihal but he's off tomorrow and next week), Tom Deacon and Pete Tong (heard Vernon fill in once when it was at 7) spring to mind. Reggie to a lesser extent because I think he's always been doing TV stuff when he's been away for the chart apart from christmas.

When Pete is off its normally Annie doing 4hrs then in the case of Westwood he pre records some of his shows and I suppose Huw could do the same.

Scott has holidays quite often.

Isn't Matt Edmondson or Tom Deacon (forgot which one) going to Ibiza (think that's work though?) (like Danny Miller!!!) soon?

Dev you're right, only time someone else seems to be doing his show is when he's doing Greg / Scott's show. Don't think Tom has had a week off yet, will be interesting to see who fills in for him, possibly Huw. Pete Tong does have the odd one off, often

When Pete is off its normally Annie doing 4hrs

But am I right in thinking MisaJam does the odd fill in for Pete? And haven't Andy Georgre and Jaymo?

Mistajam fills in for Trevor nelson. I thik Jaymo & Andy George may have but they did cover for Annie who covered for Pete

Pete Tong prerecords his shows - one way of telling is if you try and see the webcam on the R1 website and theyre turned off, then it could be prerecorded. plus if DJs dont say the time when they usually would, then thats also giving signs its not live

1. Evening specialist DJs don't tend to say the time anyway.

2. Not all of Pete Tong's shows are prerecorded, but I have suspected that some are pre-recorded in recent weeks. The webcam tip usually is a good indication as you say.

[The Stig]

And asking for texts, they don't do that on pre records, and during the day on pre records they don't say the name of the newsreader when into'ing the news.

I've heard one of the DJ's mention that there is a specialist DJ studio with turntables, maybe there isn't a webcam in that studio.

Pete's bits on the Essential Mix are probably pre-recorded, he'd be too busy with gigs and stuff to stay at or return to radio 1 for 3AM (or whenever the Essential Mix starts)
