The Royal Wedding on BBC Radio 1

Cant say I'm all that interested, but Kate is reasonably fit so fair play to the guy, and if I remember right William and Harry listen to Moyles so they can't be all that bad ;). I don't have anything against the royals, but I'm not all that bothered what they get up to really.

Unfortauntely I live in Edinburgh so no doubt in the build up it'll be anti-English this, anti-British that blah blah blah. At least if Fearne is off to do TV work it means we won't have her polluting Radio 1 that day :D

Not impressed with censorship

this should be on sky box office, that way i don't get to see it, i don't give a stuff about them, the sooner Charles gets in the sooner everyone will want to get rid of the royals, because everyone hates him !

I don't... he's the one I like... off-the-wall, talking to plants and stuff.

The BBC today announced its presenting line up for the Royal Wedding of HRH Prince William and Catherine Middleton with the aim of bringing viewers and listeners comprehensive coverage across TV, radio and online, both in the UK and around the world.

Leading the programming for BBC One and BBC News will be Huw Edwards, who will be based outside Buckingham Palace and joined by fellow anchors Fiona Bruce and Sophie Raworth, who will be situated at key locations in central London.

Also reporting on events across the day for BBC TV are Radio 1's Fearne Cotton and Edith Bowman, BBC Sport presenter Jake Humphrey, BBC Breakfast's Chris Hollins, along with One Show presenter Alex Jones and her colleague, Anita Rani, who will capture the stories, excitement and celebrations from across London, the UK and around the world.

Coverage of the couple's special day will also feature prominently across the BBC's radio networks, giving listeners on-the-spot reaction and interactive coverage.

The presenting line-up across the day will include Edward Stourton and James Naughtie on Radio 4, Victoria Derbyshire and Richard Bacon on Radio 5 Live, together with Vernon Kay and Scott Mills for Radio 1 and Chris Evans and Ken Bruce for Radio 2.

This presenting team will complement the coverage from BBC News that will broadcast throughout the day.

Alongside comprehensive coverage on television and radio the BBC's dedicated portal bbc.co.uk/royalwedding will offer live streaming and in depth coverage on the day.

Further programming, location and scheduling details will be announced shortly.

Mark Byford, Deputy Director General, who is overseeing the BBC's Royal Wedding plans, says: "With such a strong line-up of presenters across TV, radio and online the BBC's in-depth coverage of the Royal Wedding will bring the event to life for viewers and listeners across the land, helping the UK to celebrate the big day."

Coverage will feature prominently across TV and Radio networks... in other words, sounds like total Blanket Coverage. Hopefully I'll be working that day as not overly interested, even if these two are the royal I'd probably come closest to liking etc...

Urgh. I was planning on Radio 1 being my wedding-free destination for the day. Instead I will now just lie in bed under the covers spouting republican and anti-monarchy drivel while simulataneously being grateful for the Monday morning lie-in William and Kate have been kind enough to bless me with. And I will do so to the soundtrack of my ipod.

And yes Annalie, I intentionally spelt iPod without the capital 'P' with you in mind

;)

Sorry, but I really don't care.

Neither do I.

One of the papers here tried to play an April Fool's joke on us by "reporting" that Kate didn't want to get married anymore. Haha, it would've been all over the Internet if it was true! lol

Are they even that rich?

No not really. Most of them are unemployed and live off state benefits and spend their time between an inner-city estate and one near Legoland. Lizzie's mother, also called Liz, died in loads of debt because her state pension couldn't cover the day to day costs of her poverty stricken life. On the plus side they get a free bus travel, free prescriptions and a winter fuel allowance.

    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
    • When Scott and Chris announced their departure from R1, I remember there was lots of speculation about who would take over the 1pm slot. Matt and Mollie were talked about a lot on here, and at the time I really didn't rate them as a replacement. A few years on, I see that I was totally wrong. They are such a good pairing, and it's the same kind of duo as Scott and Chris, in that they are real life friends, who spend time together in their real lives, which really does come across on air. True friends having a laugh together, and everyone is invited is how it feels to me now. I never thought about it before, but I agree with @coffeeandgin that Mollie is the Scott of the duo - pop obsessed and maybe a litte ditsy, but so funny, and in need of someone to anchor to or bounce off.  It seems that Matt is the kind of Chris of the duo then in that comparison, the one with the ideas, but also needs another person to make the magic happen. I know I'm outside of the R1 demographic, and maybe Dean and Vicky were meant to be younger and fresher, but I'm sure in my younger years I would have preferred to listen to two people who had a genuine connection and could really make each other laugh, as well as have the listeners laugh along. That was the Scott and Chris factor for me, and I think the only pair that come close to that now are Matt and Mollie.
