He's covered for Vernon + Sara this weekend, covering for Reggie + Chris over the bank holiday and is in for Huw the weekend after. Is it time Radio 1 shared the cover round a bit more.

Obv Grimmy and Matt Edmondson were at V festival but would love to see Comedy Dave doing a few Chappers + Dave style shows or even Becky/Chris or getting Chris Moyles/Scott on at the weekends now and again as a treat for people who work weekdays.

I very much doubt we'll ever see a show with Chris Moyles at the weekend again, unless of course its something like they did at 1 Big Weekend. Scott is the stand in for Reggie so we hear him now and again.

I guess if Dev is happy to do the cover then there is no reason for him to stop, thats how Greg managed to get a better slot at the last major reshuffle.

Not impressed with censorship

Matt Edmoson used to be the one that covered all the time but now he has his own show he covers less. I like Dev. Seeming as I live in Australia he is my drive time DJ so he is my favourite. But yeah be nice to get some of the people that cover Devs shows to do more covers through out the day. Some good DJ's have covered Devs shows in the morning and deserve to be given a chance on others.

Also I think it is because Dev loves his work and he loves being social so any more chances to DJ and connect with listeners he takes it up. Also sometimes these covers are short notice :P. So maybe Dev was like the first person they called in? :D

P.S Posted from school :)

What have I got?

ooh you rebel :)

But I first head Matt when Sara was on maternity leave, and he still covers her show if she's off. I was never sure if he did anymore.

I know what you mean Dev is everywhere at the moment, maybe it's to compensate for the fact he rarely covers daytime? (weekdays)

What is going on with early breakfast cover though it just seems to be a rota there's been Rob Howard, Adam Catteral and Sam Hall recently. They should let 1 or 2 join the station for weekend cover even if they don't get a show straight away. Also Andy George and Jaymo seem to have been dumped off weekend breakfast cover for some reason.

Having said that it is the summer so the DJ's are on their holidays so there is more cover needed than usual so maybe thats why Dev seems to be everywhere. In the winter they won't need cover presenters as much.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
