Speculation - What if Tom Deacon left the station and Matt took the Sunday slot?

I'm loving Matt Edmondson's show at the moment, and I was thinking - now with Switch gone I could see Radio 1 altering the Sunday night schedule again. I really dislike Tom Deacon's show on Sundays and I was wondering, wouldnt it be feasible for Tom to be dropped and The Matt Edmondson Show to take Sunday 7-9pm? This would make it into a proper show and increase the audience of one of the stations (IMO) best new talents? Thoughts?

Switch has gone? But they still have the Surgery, Annie'n'Grimmie and 5:19 show.

I agree with you though, Tom isn't very funny. He's alright, but I don't think he really gels? Matt would be excellent on that timeslot, and more people would be able to listen. And he would be a good start to the week :)

Tom Deacon's show is insulting to it's target audience of teenagers. Piss poor presenting, topics and music.

Another thing that annoys me, is that he refers to it as the Tom Deacon Show. Rather than just Tom Deacon like every other show (save Chris)

Also, BBC Radio don't like swearing before 9 PM, (not an actual watershed though), so Matt isn't suited to the slot, as his show (which I think is ace) relies on 'black' (more of a light blue) humour.

Matt Edmondson has really grown. I dont listen to Tom Deacon at all but I dont know if Matt Edmondson is suited to what that slot has become recently. He is surely being groomed for a bigger slot,

Im wondering if there will be any schedule changes in the traditional September period or as was always the usual pattern until this last year when they have just been making smaller chnages throughout the year. I cant see any major changes on the horizon unless its in the specialist areas, especially now that Moyles has confirmed his new contract to stay on.

I loved The Cut! Especially Alex :P

You're making me cry. Ex member off of here, Ines and I used to love that show so much, and spent basically all of our time talking about it.

I used to watch every episode about 5 times every week.

I was utterly in love with Alex. And Stephen. And Cameron. And…

But yeah, Alex was my favourite. I'm just sad that the show wasn't renewed so some Alephen / Stelex sordid gay romance could happen.

I even started a facebook campaign to get it back! * Everyone please join SAVE THE CUT on Facebook.

On this Matt Edmondson thing, well, I think everyone knows my views on him. HE IS SO FUCKING AMAZING, I LOVE HIM AND I WANT TO HUG HIM MORE THAN FAKE CAT WOMAN WANTS TO HUG CATS IN THEIR BOW TIES LIKE MY EX TEACHER WHO I NEVER HAD HAD THEM AND HE WAS GAY LIKE MATT EDMONDSON IS AWESOMER THAN KATE NASH BECAUSE HE SAYS SO AND HE HAS AWESOME HAIR AND I HAVE A SIGNED AUTOGRAPH FROM HIM AND FUNTY AND GARY AND CHRIS ARE AWESOME AND.

Tom Deacon isn't that funny, but I do like listening to him. He does act a bit too childish though, like some of the features don't fit for teenagers. I reckon Matt should be on weekday daytime. :)

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
    • Jess Iszatt is in for Jack on Monday 27th May.
    • The two larger studios either side of the Live Lounge are 82A (aka 82Mills) and 82D.  The 4 smaller ones nearby are 82B, C, E & F.  The brand new ones are nearby on the 8th floor and are 82K, L, M & N.  All of the London-based R2 and 6M shows are coming from the 8th floor, some in the new studios and some in the original ones.  Obviously there are a lot of shows that come from elsewhere in the country such as Birmingham, Salford and Cardiff, but any in London come from the 8th floor.   In terms of R1 at the moment:   82A - Greg James, Danny Howard, Jeremiah Asiamah 82B - Early Breakfast Mon-Fri, Dan P Carter, Sarah Story, Charlie Tee 82D - RMC, Going Home, Future Artists, Future Pop, Rave Up, 13.00-16.00 Fri-Sun 82E - Official Chart, Chillest Show 82F - Dance Anthems, Kenny Allstar, Indie Show 82N - New Music Show Salford - Dean & Vicky, Danny Beard, Nat O'Leary, Life Hacks Cardiff - Sam & Danni
