Some people were wondering if Gemma would still be filling in for Fearne after she took over as early breakfast host. It looks like the answer is no because on friday april 25 it will be Annie Mac who sits in for Fearne while Gemma is on earlies as normal. It also makes it look as though moving her to earlies was more of a demotion than promotion so she could be out the door completley in a year or 2 !

Better news for Dev though.He wil be sitting in for Greg James on friday april 18 and monday april 21 so looks like he could be the new first choice stand in for Greg ! (That said Huw is doing Zanes show for a couple of weeks starting on monday april 14 so that could be why he's not sitting in for Greg)

A part of me thinks that with proper and consistent production Gemma could be quite good.

I did enjoy parts of her filling in for Fearne - and I really do like Alice, great sense of humour & knowledge of music. I've been listening to Fearne quite a lot the last week or so and, I have to say she's been sounding a bit down. I hope she get's back in to the swing of it soon!

I've always been of the viewpoint that Fearne isnt really passionate about radio that much and she's slinging her coat on as soon as the fader goes up for last record before newsbeat! You never hear her on any other shoes, such as real or no real with Scott. What really confirmed this fact for me was when she came back off maternity leave in Sept and was on Grimmy's breakfast show, and they played Get Lucky - Daft Punk and she said she hadnt heard it before!! I'm sorry, but what rock had she been living under all through summer?! Clearly doesnt listen to Radio 1 out of the office.

Re: Fearnes cover, I hope it becomes either Annie Mac or Alice Levine. They are so quality when they cover for her and such enjoyable listening.

passionate about radio

It seems to me R1 don't believe radio is a passion / skill / art anymore... There's a difference between great radio, and well, radio...

Not to say that some of the current line up are not skilled = there are a few in my opinion.

I agree about Fearne's lack of passion, he show has taken a massive dip, the cover should never be better than the actual show, however all of Fearne's covers are better!! On another note anyone hear scott on Zane last night http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01wtv8k really top show and thought it should be noted when Zane said "Scott you're sounding really great right now" this is very true, is show is still sounding one of the freshest which for a 41 year old is very impressive!!

I no longer listen to Early Breakfast since Gemma took over so not concerned she isn't cover anymore, always preferred Alice covering.

Not really listened much to Gemma on earlies. Will see what she's like this week when I've got a couple of early starts

      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.
