Another week.... Mills is just back from Iceland (I have been there many a year ago).... Lovely place which you may hear about from Scott. Loads of outdoor heated pools, although the water smells of rotten eggs because of the high sulphur content apparently (?) - (very good for ya apparently). **

** Eau de Egg - perfect for attracting the opposite sex.

Question: does anyone else feel a sense of impending doom in light of recent departures from the show?

Not yet but wonder if he might go back to weekends and be a cover DJ and experiment on other stations?

yup. Not a nice thing to say but the words "sinking ship" spring to mind.

The Show IS still good some days, but the edgy days are long gone (R1 don't want that anyway).

I don't think he would go back to weekends, Abertom. Like Moyles.... once you have been at the top, you ain't gonna take a step down... Think Mills will go quite calmly to R2, although I think it will take him a while to fit in. There was a discussion about marmalade last week, and I can't see Mills readily taking part in this kind of "old" drivel either.....

Must be damn difficult after working at R1... where do you go? What do you do? Mind you, Jo Whiley managed it. Switched her on the other day, and she was sounding good.

It can be done, Mark Radcliffe, Dave Pearce, Simon Mayo, Jo Wiley were at Radio 1 not that long ago. OK, Simon Mayo left in 2001. But they can fit in, and all this Ken Bruce wooden type Radio is being slowly driven away from there. Radio 2 could turn into Radio 1 from 1999, which is perfect if they want to attract a new crop of disgruntled listeners in their 20's such as me away from Radio 1.

on the grid.

Really?! I find Bruce has more personality than Evans. This morning Evans was discussing WHALE VOMIT, immediately followed by choons from the 60s and 70s.... yup, I really need to give Grimshaw another chance.

That's a far cry from his 1995 days. What's happened to him!?

I was listening to Simon Mayo yesterday, he hasn't changed much since his Radio 1 days so I find him listenable. Don't forget though, Radio 2 have to follow a playlist like Radio 1 DJ's, they don't just play what they want.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
