The most surprising thing about that line up is that for the first time in over 2 years Edith Bowman is on during the daytime on Radio One. Does this mean she could still have a future on the station or is it just a one off because she's their only scottish DJ apart from Ally McRae and OBW is coming from there?

I'd like to think it's a mixture of both but primarily I think it's the latter reason. Will the Monday shows be live from Glasgow? Obviously The Breakfast Show will have to be but the other DJ's will have enough time to get back to London. Also, what's with the unusual start time of Danny Howard's Friday show?

Edith Bowman......................... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'm also wondering why Danny Howard starts at five to six on the Friday- that's during the news!

Other thoughts- Zane and Dev seems like a strange pairing; cool and excitable Zane presenting with professionally ropey Dev, but could be funny, Grimmy and Dev are good together, and it's a shame Scott has to present with Jameela and Gemma, him and Greg would be way better (I'm assuming Greg is doing the BBC3 coverage instead?).

newsbeat will start 5 mins later! I'm guessing it's so the they can have a bit of a build up before an official launch at 6pm

2100-2200: The Surgery with Aled

Monday 12 May

2100-2200: The Review Show with Edith Bowman

Long time lurker, first time poster! Big fan of Scott's show and Radio 1 in general. Going to Big Weekend next week so figured this was as good a time as any to register!

The Friday night event begins at 6pm which is why I'm assuming Danny Howard is due to start at 5:55pm. He's the first act on the Friday night I think so it will probably be so they can start the event on time (as they'll have strict curfews to meet with the event being in Glasgow city centre).

I've never really understood the pairings they use for Big Weekend. It all seems so random. It's almost like a random draw. I would never have paired Zane and Dev or even Gemma and Scott. Why not Grimmy and Scott? Gemma and Dev? Zane and Huw? Even let Dan & Phil and Chris Stark do a show together? They all seem quite logical pairings. Ah well. Surprised to see Greg not doing any radio shows over the weekend too, the TV coverage doesn't begin until 7pm so he could do an early afternoon slot.

Really looking forward to next weekend though. I've been saying for ages that Radio 1 owes Scotland a few events. We've had nothing except the annual Fringe shows for the last 3-4yrs (not even 1Xtra Live!)

    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
    • Clara was always a decent, competent and even good music radio presenter. But equally, she never provoked really strong emotions in me that I must listen or must switch off.
    • Jamie is definitely very divisive though.  Some people's "radio comedy gold" is other people's "unlistenable".  I have liked Matt and Mollie, Matt on his own, Mollie and Jordan etc etc.  But couldn't listen to Matt with Jamie. No hate on Jamie but I just don't like his sense of humour.
    • The dynamics of this are interesting.  Jordan works best with people he knows and he already knows Chris and Sian so from day one it should sound fairly natural.  
    • Have an amazing birthday Scott!  Looking forward to Tuesday! 
    • This has to be a joke right. This is so Scott Mills 🤣
