Sunday 2nd March

10:00am Alice Levine

Monday 3rd March

4:00am Pete Allison in for Dev all week

Will be good to hear Alice on her own again, shame it's not the 10 am slot in the week.

Looking forward to hearing Pete again in for Dev. Why he isn't replacing Dev on early breakfast I will never know. Gemma over Pete, really?? Come on Radio 1, give Pete a permanent contract.

Good to see Alice on during the daytime again. Let's hope she becomes the full time cover for Fearne instead of Gemma Cairney eh !

I'm surprised to see that Dev is taking a holiday when he only has a few weeks left on earlies but he does deserve a break. How much longer will Pete Allison be used before he gets his own show I wonder? Could the plan be to give Gemma a prime time slot in a year or 2 with Pete replacing her on earlies?

Or perhaps give Gemma the early breakfast for a bit while they let Pete establish himself more, and then give Pete early breakfast?

Perhaps this suggests that Alice Levine is the new stand-in for Matt Edmondson, now that Dev (who has stood-in for Matt for several weekends last year) is moving to weekend breakfast...

Pete Allison: Definitely will have something in the future. I'd like to think that Gemma Cairney is a short-term replacement for Dev. I'd rather her go back to BBC Radio 1Xtra! If she is lined up to replace Fearne Cotton in the future, over Alice Levine, I will be very disappointed in Ben Cooper.

Agreed. I guess Gemma must be an aquired taste, but I really cant see how they could ever let her on daytimes. She is like Jameela Jamil, utterly intolerable.

Not necessarily.Devs on holiday himself that week so can't do it.Probably Dev will continue to sit in for Matt after he takes over weekend breakfast with Alice or Adele siting in for Dev

Luckily, due to R1's weird habit of not letting cover presenters take over slots permanently, I have a feeling covering for Fearne is all she'll get. I think today's performance by Alice Levine at the Brits has cemented her place as the successor to Fearne. She undoubtedly earned herself a lot of fans today and it's unsurprising - she's fantastic !

Question: why does Zane Lowe never cover anyone anymore?

I can think of a couple of shows worth trying him on. Whether he does what Annie Mac sometimes does and sits in during the day and still do his evening show, or move him to a slot for the week and give Huw his gig... I don't know.

Zane's music style would go well on the breakfast show (remember when he did it a few years back?!) He could cover Fearne Cotton... have him on the late-night show 10-midnight one week just for a laugh! He can cover Rob da Bank, any of the dance anthem shows actually, Huw Stephens...

My point being is that I'd rather hear Zane at 10am than Gemma Cairney! Why do we have to have a female sitting in for Fearne all the time?

There was news earlier this month that Benga was 'retiring' from being a DJ yet they haven't changed the name of their show on the schedule. They also still announce Skream and Benga before Pete's show. It's odd.

I have a feeling that they'll get rid of Skream as well and replace him with B Traits.It's so obvious they want her to have her own prime time show on a friday night

I actually really love Skreams show (slightly improved since Bengas taken leave). However I think it would be better suited to Thursday night (swap with Toddla T or a move around for B.Traits) just think since he's gone massively down the house route its turned into 4 sometimes 6 (if the essential mix has a house dj) of non-stop house music. As popular as it is, it can be a bit much some weekends.

hello

    • 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?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • 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.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • 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.
    • 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.
