1. Sara Cox-Hilariously funny and random and deserves a better slot than the one she has.

2. Dev-Really improved since starting on earlies and has made the show his own. Have heard many moments which have been genuinely funny.

3. Reggie Yates-Chart and Request shows work really well and the Sony nomination proves this. Wish his shows weren't so tightly formatted so he could show what he's capable of.

4. Scott Mills-Consistently entertaining.

5. Chris Moyles-Goes through his cycles if brilliance and rubbishness. When he's good, he's GOOD, but he can also be very dull and rely on laughter from his team members.

6. Greg James-Was excellent on earlies but became very bland on afternoons. Occasionally has his moments now and again, but mainly sticks to extremely dull stories about his life.

7. Huw Stephens-Wednesday night show was fantastic but isn't much cop on weekends.

8. Edith Bowman-Alright when she isn't going on about films. Which is almost never.

9. Fearne Cotton-She's not terrible, just not good enough for a weekday show. Should swap slots with Sara Cox.

Can't say much about Vernon Kay as I'm listening to the far superior Adam and Joe when he's on. I like what I've heard though. If I could rate Grimmy, he'd be third after Dev and Matt Edmondson would be in the top five.

Chris - Always comes top in my opinion. I can't handle mornings when he's away and I won't handle mornings when he leaves.

(Tim Westwood)

(Annie Mac)

(Nick Grimshaw)

(Nihal)

Sara - Funny, nice, entertaining, always an enjoyable listen.

(Mistajam)

(Trevor Nelson)

Dev - Much better than in his early days. Nice personality, puts real effort into the show. A nice way to handle those evil early mornings.

----

Reggie - I don't listen to any of his shows but what little I have heard of them have been pretty good. I'd imagine he'd even be a hell of a lot better if not restrained by heavily formatted shows.

Huw - Nothing special about him, doesn't stand out. Good show and good radio DJ nevertheless.

Edith - A nice way to wake up on the weekend

----

(Tom Deacon)

Vernon - Not a huge fan, but his show is alright.

Fearne - Get's a lot of stick, most of it unjustified. She's not that bad.

(Zane Lowe - I just don't get it.)

Greg - Dull. Fake. Forced. Exaggerated. Contrived.

(Matt Edmondson)

    • It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).
    • On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!
    • I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones. 
    • The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf
    • Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
    • I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently! 
    • That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.
    • Moyles spent most of the 52hr sgow calling him that lol
    • I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter  
    • I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?
    • Maia Beth is doing Friday Early Breakfast on 7th & 14th June.
    • Joel Mitchell is in for Nat on Sunday 9th June.
    • Ore Olukoga is on 13.00-16.00 on Friday 31st May and Friday 7th June.  Nikita Kanda is doing Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
    • Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
