Capital Summertime Ball 2024

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.
