He's gone and got his face on a double page spread in our local paper!

Even though giving awards to kids in Stoke doesn't sound particularly glamorous, I want to say a massive THANK YOU! to Aled for doing it. Nothing really ever happens around here because of our reputation, but Aled doing things like this really makes me smile. Since The Chris Moyles Show were kind enough to do a Karaoke Night here, the show seems to mention Stoke-on-Trent more too, and not usually in a negative light either!

Sorry to preach but it has to be said, Radio 1 events really does reach out to the whole country and help out in the long term. Thank you Aled and the R1 team! :)

Anyway, here's the link (there's a nice picture included too):

Radio One personality Aled Jones, who presents Sunday Surgery and produces the Chris Moyles Show, presented the awards for the category of academic excellence.

He told The Sentinel he was "very happy" to be presenting awards to people he felt he could identify with.

He said: "I was someone who at school did not do very well academically, but my achievements came from the extra-curricular activities I got involved with and through my work experience with the BBC I managed, with hard work and sheer determination, to get to where I wanted to be.

"It was not down to what I did in the classroom. But there are a lot of young people in Stoke-on-Trent who have aspirations and I hope that by recognising what they have done, they will realise that they can succeed."

Chris Butler received an award for academic excellence.

The Stoke-on-Trent College student who studied a BTEC in media, will be starting a degree in TV Production at university in Bournemouth today.

The 18-year-old entered a BBC competition last year and was one of the lucky winners in the editing category.

He said: "I was thrilled when I found out I had won a placement with the BBC in London editing programmes including The Culture Show.

"It was so exciting. I don't think my feet ever touched the ground.

"I'm honoured to receive an award. I studied hard to get my BTEC but I enjoyed it every step of the way."

That's beautifully written. Very genuine. Nice to see Aled involved in stuff like this. :)

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.

      I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
