BlueSkies 12 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 With the new schedule changes announced, and Scott's contract running out next April time, what are your predictions/wants for Radio 1 in a years time?I think there will be major changes at daytime, and I think the recent announcement seems to line up some of them.Weekdays:04:00 - 06:30 Pete Allison06:30 - 10:00 The Greg James Show (back to a zoo style format with his current team of Pippa, Travis and Chris Smith brought over. Chris to do a swap with Tina so she does afternoon news).10:00 - 13:00 Alice Levine (Fearne's show sounds stale now).13:00 - 16:00 Scott Mills (I hope he renews his contract. Show sounding the best for a while. Can't see Radio 1 wanting him to go now).16:00 - 19:00 The Matt Edmondson Show (I think it will be between him or Dev, but Matt I think just has the edge. Hope for a team style show similar to Scott's old drivetime show circa 2006).19:00 - 21:00 Zane Lowe21:00 - 22:00 /22:00 - 01:00 Huw StevensWeekends:06:00 - 10:00 Dev10:00 - 13:00 Phil Taggart13:00 - 16:00 Fearne Cotton16:00 - 19:00 Dance Anthems with Danny Howard / The Chart Show with Nick GrimshawWhat does everyone think? We'll see in a years time how right/wrong we were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vibe 10 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I think Alice ending up on daytime is inevitable. I wouldn't have been opposed to a Phil & Alice Drivetime, but it seems that paying two presenter wages is a budget stretch too far for R1 these days. So she'll probably end up in the 10am slot, which will be great as you can practically hear Fearne grabbing her coat midway through her incredibly dull '3 word review' feature these days. Fearne can go to weekend afternoons as you mention.Drivetime/Breakfast will be an interesting one. I think Ben Cooper will either stick with the status quo and persevere with Grimmy, or swap him with Greg James, a la Cox/Moyles.Matt Edmonson is the natural successor to Scott I think, but long may Scott's show last in the meantime, it's by far the most entertaining on R1 for me and Chris Stark has added several years to its' lifespan IMO.Phil Taggart is an interesting problem. I can't help but wonder what went down for him to be reduced from 8 hours a week to 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abertom 17 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 There will be some new Radio 1 DJ's IMO before a new daytime schedule is announced. Also it has been posted time again generally high profile day time slots won't be taken over by whoever the cover person is so that show will be properly new.

OohErr 231 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I think there will be a Grimmy Greg swap, Fearne will leave and Scott will leave. Having heard a bit of Pete Allison covering for Dev recently, I think that he's been massively overrated on here. Just because he's fresh blood from commercial radio, it doesn't make him any good. He was bland and couldn't do links longer than about a minute- not much cop. I think Dev will get Scott's slot when he leaves, because Dev's been ready for a daytime slot for years now, I thought he would be next in line for that show years ago. Matt Edmondson to stay on weekends, he's got the flagship show on there, and he said on his podcast recently (perhaps jokingly) in response to an email that he wouldn't want to do radio five days a week.04:00 Gemma Cairney 06:30 The Greg James Show (obviously with Chris Smith with the News)10:00 Alice Levine13:00 Dev16:00 Nick GrimshawWEEKENDS06:00 Newbie10:00 The Matt Edmondson Show13:00 Phil Taggart16:00 Dance Anthems/ ChartZane and Huw will be around for a while methinks.

(weekends 1-4 maybe). I think Greg and Fearne would work well together on a new breakfast show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan12 55 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I know this isn't the right thread but it is about changes within the station. Scott has a new producer in the form of Will Foster who replaces Cara who is the producer at the Edinburgh Festival this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaileysface 10 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Is Cara ever going to return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan12 55 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Not sure. I think she will once the Edinburgh Festival ends at the end of August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaileysface 10 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 What's she doing on the Edinburgh festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan12 55 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 She's a producer there so I'd imagine her role is very similar to that on the radio.I may be thinking too much into this but Scott has just played his World Cup song he did with 5 Seconds of Summer to mark the end of the World Cup on Sunday and he said that this may be the last time that we ever hear it. Could this be a sign that an announcement about his departure from Radio 1 after 16 years could be revealed in the next few months? I really hope not, the show is sounding fabulous!
