A specialist DJ takeover, free music concerts and the countdown of the BBC Sound of 2011 will be just some of the exciting content coming this January on BBC Radio 1 when the station takes listeners on a journey to discover new music in the New Year.

Kicking off on Monday 3 January, Radio 1 shakes up the schedule by handing over the entire week to the station's evening specialist shows.

Daytime will be turned on its head with Radio 1's new music DJs Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Huw Stephens and Nick Grimshaw joining forces to share with listeners their big tips for 2011 and looking back at the artists they championed in 2010. The DJs' playlists will also give even bigger daytime exposure to newer artists.

The schedule from Monday 3 January to Friday 7 January will be:

7.00am-10am – Zane Lowe

10am-1pm – Annie Mac

1pm-4pm – Huw Stephens

4pm-7pm – Nick Grimshaw

For the first time ever, Radio 1 will exclusively reveal the winner of BBC Sound of 2011, one of the most anticipated events of the year.

The survey compiled from the views of music critics and industry experts aims to highlight some of the rising stars tipped for big things in the coming year.

On his special breakfast show, Zane Lowe counts down the top five most voted for acts throughout the week, culminating in the unveiling of the winner on Friday 7 January.

Live session tracks and interviews from the chosen five will also feature heavily across Radio 1 shows.

Ben Cooper, Deputy Controller, Radio 1 and Radio 1Xtra, says: "Supporting new music is extremely important to Radio 1. Over the last 12 months we have played a major part in breaking artists like The XX, Mumford & Sons, Plan B, Biffy Clyro and Marina & The Diamonds plus many more and 2011 will be no different. January will be exciting for Radio 1 as we turn the schedule on its head to bring our audiences even more brand new music and live events all month long."

BBC Introducing

Monday 10 January – Friday 14 January

BBC Introducing will also feature as part of BBC Radio 1's new music push with a range of activities.

Starting on 10 January, in an exciting move for the initiative, a BBC Introducing sourced artist will become part of the Radio 1 daytime playlist each week.

Selected by the Radio 1 music team via suggestions from the BBC Introducing Network and the Uploader (bbc.co.uk/introducing), an artist will be highlighted on the national network, receiving six plays in daytime shows.

Also this week, there will be a special BBC Introducing session recorded at the famous Maida Vale Studios.

Three Radio 1 specialist DJs – Huw Stephens, Pete Tong and Daniel P Carter – are teaming up with leading music magazines NME, Mixmag and Rock Sound to select the acts they think we'll be seeing more of in 2011. This will culminate in a special BBC Introducing programme on Wednesday 12 January at 9pm, with live tracks being played out across the week.

Could the daytime line-up be the future of Radio 1 when Mills/ Moyles leaves?

O, for God's sake, Mills is clearly off AGAIN.

How about we all write to the BBC Trust to see if DJs can actually stay put in a slot on a regular basis. Disruption, disruption, disruption. *

*Even my local radio can do better, and it ain't just Scott, btw

Yeah, how dare the DJs have a Christmas holiday, Viv. Bah Humbug to you.

I look forward to Zane on breakfast.

yeh, but I'm not really being scroogy. The "holidays" have got out of control, and some DJs - not pointing any elbows - need to make up their minds whether they want to be a DJ or go on the TV, or God knows what else.

From a listener point of view, I am growing increasing tired of my listening / entertainment time being mucked up.... and yes, I know they have every right to make all the money they can, especially during an on-going recession period.... but, that said,

Please.decide.if. you. wish. to. be. on. the. radio. or. not. Thank you.

Just leave Zane to night time, where he can unleash his uber enthusiasm, and new music, and not torment me first thing in the morning, when I have just got out of my bed.

Viv needs to discover that sensitive area on every females anatomy...

BTW... on the original press release it refers to the events happening 'this January'. Surely its next January as we're still in 2010... just an observation x

take control

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • 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!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • 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
