A station like radio 1 cant go on for ever having stand in presenters all over the place or listeners will tune off not knowing who is on. Radio is about habit and getting to know the people you listen too!

Iv seen a rumour that Vernon Kay is leaving Radio 1? Though it did say he was leaving Sept 2012 so not sure how that stands.

Anyone been listening to Phil Taggart these last 2 weeks? He has been great in the 10-midnight slot. Amazing music choices, great features and I like his style/on air persona. Hope he moves into this slot permanently. He said Annie Mac is in the slot for a month after this week though.

If Moyles stays on R1 I think he should come into the Sat/Sun morning 10am-1pm slot. Would be ideal for his style and weekends needs a boost at the minute. I dont think Coxy will stay at the station after covering Fearne's maternity. I think she will move over to R2.

I also think Matt Edmondsons show should move to a 2 hour show as its a good show and he just needs more time. Maybe he should have the 10pm-midnight slot on Sundays which would also fit with the Sunday night theme to the schedule. He is getting a good following and this will grow in a regular longer slot.

Then Weds 9pm-10pm could either be something like a 1 hour film show with Rhiannon, or give Gemma Cairney a 1 hour show for something as I think she is pretty good and needs to get more air time - I though she would have got the Maternity cover gig for Fearne to be honest!

Also, I dont really understand the point of Jameela Jamil on the station. That 2 hour request show is pointless. I think Danny Howard should do the request show on a Saturday afternoon, the Sunday Evenings do Dance Anthems old style with the tunes you had heard out over the weekend etc.

I dont know how much longer Dev can stay on Earlies but I dont think he is good enough for any other shows just yet. The only slot I could see him taking is 1pm-4pm Sat/Sun though where does that leave Huw, who is clearly being lined up for a daytime role when Scott is pushed, or to replace Zane if he leaves.

The thing is at the minute there are loads of presenters just doing 1 show here and 1 show there, the schedule is very bitty, and not a coherent planned out one with themes to each day etc like it used to be.

They are my thoughts on what I would like to see anyway!

I really enjoyed Phil's show yesterday - especially the drama bit. Was so good to have something more than superficial rubbish. It was well written and executed, and perfect for showing off what radio 1 could do, if the bosses had the balls to bring it to daytime.

I can't stand Huw on daytime.

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
