Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jono]

It's the end of the BBC Introducing... slot between 9pm and 10pm on Wednesday evenings.

Matt Edmondson will have a "brand new exciting show".

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Well Annalie will be pleased at least...

[the_grove]

brand, new, exciting as in Tom Deacon's show?

Can you post a link for this one?

Which means the rest of us won't be

By the way, is it Huw who covers weekday evenings when Zane's away?

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

True Dat! :hahaha:

Usually, yes.

[The Stig]

Interesting. Matt Edmonson doesn't strike me as the type to be on at that time of the evening. I'm pleased for him, think he's great, but will be interesting to hear what this show sounds like.

[Dave1]

I wonder if they will replace the BBC Introducing that is on Wednesday Evenings? Surely Huw won't bring that to Daytime or in some way?

He's continuing his 12am-2am show.

[R94N]

Wonder if he'll play playlist music or more stuff off the beaten track.

It should be non-playlist as its an evening show so it should be all about in new music we trust

[the_grove]

Are we talking about Matt here? He's not a music DJ at all, more a mainstream entertainment person. So I think it will be mainstream pop music on that show, maybe with a certain focus, depending on what the show will be about. Can't see Matt doing an In New Music We Trust programme. At all.

surely that defeats the object of the R1 tv ads etc. Weeknights from 7pm is all about NEW MUSIC

Yeah, well...change the ads, then

Seriously, Matt Edmondson an INMWT DJ? Having done that X-Factor video blog thing? It doesn't get any further from INMWT than X-Factor, does it?

Maybe he's decided he wants to do something a bit different rather than being the favourite DJ of teenage girls

[Behelzebub]

Hmmmm, not really a fan of his to be honest. Heard him properly for the first time when he was covering for Edith at the weekend but I mostly just found him annoying. And he can't pronounce place names properly.

[DarkAngelMJH]

Should be an interesting listen, we all thought that Grimmy wasn't suited and he's doing well. Just wonder what kind of show it will be.

True. Dev too. I guess we should give him a chance and see what he can come up with and then pass judgement a few months down the line.

[Tom.]

Surely this is just going to be temporary? It will have to be ents. related with Matt...

[oli]

I thought Edith was leaving and Matt would take over weekend breakfast?

Personally, I hope they leave Matt and let Andy George + Jaymo have weekend breakfast they're brilliant

[Computer]

We can only speculate for now but I very much doubt he'll be playing mainstream pop in that slot, it would be baffling. Maybe it will be a comedy show?

Well chances are it's not gonna be just a chat show, there will be some music in it. And that music will be rather usual playlist/mainstream stuff, not so much specialist, I believe.

[daniel_jp]

Maybe it will be a chat based show with a special guest who choses the songs? With him being an ents DJ not a music specialist DJ, this wold make more sense. He seems to be on the nose with entertainment news so maybe its just a magazine type show with music news.
