September Schedule Changes

Recommended Posts

It was announced last year around 16th July, that the daytime schedule was changing. This put Greg and Fearne on in the week, and moved Edith and Jo to Weekends. What will happen this year? Im personally hoping for more Sara and Huw, and less of Fearne

Fat chance that'll be happening in a while! :confused:

The BBC put her there for a reason and although her viewing figures have been declining as of late, they obviously feel she's gonna be a longgg term investment.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Hmmm, I don't expect wholesale changes as they happened last year. My predictions

- Moyles back for another year

- The departure of one maybe two weekend DJ's

- Permanent show for Matt Edmonson

- Possible weekend show for Huw Stephens

Aside from that I wouldn't expect much else.

This is absolutely untrue. You may not like her, but she's no less popular than Jo was in that slot. Not at the moment anyway...

I like Cotton.

The audience hasn't declined but their hasn't been a signficant increase in attracting new target audiences, such as the BBC had hoped for when they installed Fearne and Greg in their positions.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

She gets fuck all in terms of viewing figures on radio anyway, so you might have a point!
True ;) - I don't think there's gonna be any massive changes in September, but I'd be surprised if Matt didn't get a full time slot. It's just knowing where to put him. Maybe he could take over the Request Show on Saturdays, they don't seem too keen on Reggie anymore.

Who are you thinking? I have a feeling if anyone goes it'll be Reggie. Possibly Vernon. But I still doubt there'll be any daytime departures this time round.

I think they had more longterm ideas when putting them in place. This talk of dramatically falling figures is crap, especially the idea that running ads is for that very reason when they do the same for Moyles...

We'll probably end up with miss gobby and overrated back in a slot whenever she wants and which she'll be taking holiday from half the time anyways...

Possibly Vernon leaving this year, maybe Edith and Nihal too. Also maybe loose some of the specialist DJ's during the week.

I think that the 9-10pm slot needs to be more focused! Its just to all over the place and doesnt relate to anything!

Regular slot for Matt - but cant think where he would suit. He was good on Earlies but Dev only just took that slot.

Schedule changes are hard to predict this year, as nothing can really change with Daytimes or weekends now until either Moyles or Scott go/reduce hours or take smaller shows. The area where the station needs and overhaul now is Specialist stuff!

Hope the announcement is soon though!

I think in the case of Scott, the most likely thing to happen is to lose the last hour (maybe shift Newsbeat from 5:45 to 6PM) or to shift him to an hour earlier start, and even though those are the most likely things, I can't really see either of those happening anytime soon.

On weekends I think the most likely exit could be Edith

and hopefully Vernon will go finally..

Edith wouldn't be much of a loss as long as Jo is still on weekends before going to 6Music/Radio2, but could definitely do without Vernon. Edith would probably still be doing festival coverage and stuff though so wouldn't disappear from the BBC altogether.

Good shout, he's been on the radio alot filling for people so hopefully he gets more 'permanent' time.

in september i hope we see the departure of vernon as i cant stand listening to him. I also would like to see matt edmonson go as he cringes me out but i know the chances of this are very low as he is seen as 'new talent' for radio 1.

Can't believe there's so much dislike for Vernon. I think it's just because he's actually got a bit of personality...

I want more rob da bank! Loved his shows on SUnday nights and his A-Z this monday (earlier) as part of the storys thinsg was good - maybe that could become a permanent fill for that slot? Or bring him in on weekday night over Giles Peterson or Nihal on a Tuesday to do it!

Also Vernon has to be a cert to go? His presence has been so much less at the station the last 6 months, and the slot is needed to keep talent like Matt Edmondson. Where would Huw go? Surely not weekend Breakfast, as thats for people on the way in our out! Huw is already established! Natural position would be Grimmys show but that wont be free until cCott or Moyles leave as Im sure Grimmy will take one of those shows.

My take on this is there will be minor weekend changes but not a lot else. The main reason being that with the current economic climate there will be huge pressure to make cuts at BBC in general and Radio 1 next year so while the ratings are stable they will keep things as-is for the moment.

The BBC Trust did report that Radio 1 was doing well to cater it's audiences, hence why I believe there should be if any, minor tinkering.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Annie Nightingale Facebooked this yesterday

Exclusive news! Big project for Radio 1 in Sept. Keep it locked and watch this space.

No idea what. Sounds good, I've always said that Radio1 underuse the legend! Could it be something to do with birthday celebrations or maybe the return of the request show? Since Switch is being phased out and all that.

Really chuffed that Moyles' contract has been renewed! I knew he wouldn't be going anyway, but its just reassuring to know for definate.

I can't imagine any massive schedule changes in the near future, maybe with Sara coming back soon the weekend schedule may get a slight shuffle, can't see anything major though.

I thought maybe Matt going to early breakfast and Dev to weekends, but actually I think Matt is more suited to just the 2 weekend shows. I like Matt as a person, but I prefer him as a visual presenter rather than on the radio.

The only change that seems likely in my eyes is more focus on specialist shows, especially the dance DJs (In New DJs we Trust rather than Annie, Jules, etc). I would really like Grimmy to sod off and allow specialist shows into his slot, but what would I know?

Obviously I don't think Fearne should have her slot either. She talks about herself, her showbiz friends, all of the other 'work' she does and then about herself a little bit more. Doubt she will go though.

You know what, I'd like Nihal to get his weekend slot back...

7:00am - Matt Edmonson

10:00am - Vernon / Coxy

1:00pm - 4:00pm - Nihal or Jo Whiley

4:00pm - 7:00pm - Reggie

?

That would be nice. I would prefer Sara over Vernon on the 10am slot but I don't know where Vernon would go instead :(

    • Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job. 
    • They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments. 
    • I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!
    • Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort. 
    • I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.
    • Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year? 
    • The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.  
    • I heard something about what is your favourite wood? Wtf 😂
    • Was the same vibe on the Easter Monday show they did too. Just random questions and the like…. Katie is definitely the glue around making the show listenable. 
    • Vick and Jamie together are quite… awkward. Random discussion seems to be at an all time high without Katie. Maybe it’s just that there’s a lack of features today.
    • Jamie not even knowing about the big weekend day and the fact he starts the show at 14:00 just says everything.
    • I still haven’t forgiven Radio 1 for signing Laing. Vick and Jordan was good, you could hear the chemistry on air 
    • I just want to add though that I am beginning to enjoy the show a bit more now that it’s settled in - I think Jamie (when he’s there) has calmed down a bit and then the new features that have been progressively added over the last couple of weeks have been good too.    I still don’t think it’s a patch on Vick and Jordan together, but it is now a show that seems like it could have legs into the future and once Matt and Mollie start in July, I could see myself sticking with R1 all afternoon.
    • I think it’s a slimmer line-up and seems to fall short in previous years where it seemed almost double that I know Raye is booked to perform and is a headline name. I think the issue with a station like capital they are dealing with a rather lacklustre year for pop and theres no real big pulls for pop festivals that are an easy sell out right now. I think Capital has had seen it’s Capital Ball’s as for any generic pop music listener I don’t know whether Bradley Simpson, Aitch and Paul Russel have the universality to play in a stadium even Sugababes think it would be better if they chosen a smaller outdoor location or Wembley arena.
    • He's in bed sick today so not sure it will happen this weekend.
