I don't think it's anything more than a bit of variation. Matt would have just covered Scott over Easter for 2 weeks - a third week may be pushing it, especially within a month. It'll be... refreshing to have Huw on, I guess.

I remember back in the day Grimmy covering Scott (and doing a damn good job) on afternoons for three weeks straight.

I would personally have Scott cover breakfast, Matt cover Scott, Dev cover Greg and Alice cover Fearne.

I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully Dev will get Chris Smith in for Rage Against the Answer Machine on Wednesday- he usually does the hosts regular features in his cover shows, plus it will be interesting to see how a different presenter interacts with Chris (who, for the record, I think is the perfect sidekick for Greg- their relationship is reminiscent of Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave back in the day, he's great).

I fully agree with the last post. Chris Smith and Greg's partnership is like bread without butter, Scott without Chris Stark and Ant without Dec. Greg's show particularly between 1700-1830 are on form. They have me in stitches every time!

I like you Jordan- I only wish Chris Smith would be on from 4 and stay on until 7, so there could be more general chat around the features with his input, especially between 18:30 and 19:00 when it's literally just Greg introducing songs with no real content. It does seem like Chris is "one of the team" now on Greg's show.

Not so sure about Huw covering, I think Matt's got a much more similar format to Scott and it works much better than having a 'music-oriented' DJ on.

Agree with all above that Greg and Chris Smith sound fantastic. If Greg is the heir apparent to breakfast I hope Chris goes with him to become a permanent contributor.

I think the problem is that Chris bring the main Newsbeat reader does hamper the amount of time he can spend on air. If I'm right Chappers didnt do the sport for the main Newsbeat bulletins leaving that for David Garrido?

Chris I guess has to decide whether he wants to be a full time sidekick or a professional news journalist. Has Chris covered 5 live lately?.

I would like to see Greg & Chris getting the Sat 10-1 slot with prob Danny Howard or Annie Mac on between 4-7

Annie Mac or Danny Howard getting weekday 4-7 would be awful.

I don't think I could ever listen to Radio 1 ever again.

oops when I meant Annie or Danny getting 4-7 I only meant for Friday ( one of the hours is all dance music anyway) allowing Greg and Chris to have a Saturday 10-1 music/sport/banter show

Oh. In that case- yes.

We need those shows

Indeed Chris and Greg sound great together, but Chris does have a greater role with Newsbeat than Chappers ever did. Arguably he's the main face for the programme.

If he's the main face of Newsbeat, do you think he'd go with Greg if he ever got breakfast? He is arguably the key to Greg's recent success, so it wouldn't be the same without him. If he did do breakfast, he could still be the main face of Newsbeat- just doing 06:30-12:45 instead of 12:45-17:45, and if anything, it would make more sense. There are many more bulletins in the morning anyway, even though he wouldn't do the 17:45.

I would guess he would just do a swap with Tina, with Tina moving to afternoon bulletins. If Greg did get breakfast I would hope Chris would get a proper role on the show like Dom did, but with Tina at the moment not even in the studio for any part of Grimmy's show, perhaps he wouldn't.

That's because Tina's not really a part of Grimmy's team- she might have been if R1 hadn't been so intent at the start on not creating a zoo format show, but now it's too late to suddenly get her involved. Although, when they did AAA, I was watching the webcam and she seems to go and sit in their studio between bulletins, just not talk outside of the news so much. With Chris Smith it would be different because he's always been involved with Greg's show.

I hope that would be the case!

IMO the zoo format shows have always been the better ones. I wish they would go back to these style shows.

Well they kinda have- Nick Grimshaw has Matt Fincham, Ian and Fiona (whatever happened to that other woman, LMC?), Scott has Chris, and Greg has Chris Smith With the News, and Pippa. If they're not zoo format shows, what is?

These days all breakfast shows are zoo format shows.Scott's show isn't zoo format though.(neither are Fearne or Gregs). Chris is a sidekick ie co-presenter.I'm sure he is paid exactly the same as Scott is (just kidding )

Cara, as a producer, is on a salary banding by the BBC.

As far as I am aware, from when they had AAA last year and he mentioned it, I think that Chris Stark is a "freelance co-contributer". I think he is technically self employed and the BBC must pay his agent an agreed fee. Much like the same set up Chris Moyles, Comedy Dave and Dom were on who werent BBC employees either.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      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

      By Lee E · Posted

      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

      By NathanS · Posted

      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.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.

      I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
