Alice Levine's New Show


BlueSkies

Recommended Posts

Meant to post this earlier on this week. Aled has mentioned on Twitter that he is returning to producing and he is going to produce Alice Levine's new Sunday afternoon show!

I was already looking forward to hearing Alice's new show, and with Aled producing it should be a really good listen, although it will still be a shame not to hear Phil and Alice together anymore.

Didn't mean to '?' Question him.

But if they are putting such a high level producer on that show- then it must mean it is going to move to weekday radio at some point.

And Alice is the perfect weekday morning presenter.

My thoughts also. Wouldn't be surprised if Alice moves to mid mornings April next year.

I think Alice Levine's overrated on here. She is very entertaining to listen to, similar to Sara Cox with her bizzare food related stories, but Sara Cox was also very technically able, and listening to Alice's daytime cover, she is not. It doesn't sound very slick, with her often not properly talking up to the vocals on songs and backtiming too early so she has nothing left to say into the news. She's good to listen to, but needs to improve her technical ability as a DJ. Hopefully Aled will help with that!

Do you think Aled will have to run the desk?
Think Alice knows how to drive the desk, she's just not that good at it. Doubt it, because if Jameela is allowed to drive the desk herself, Alice will!

Sounds like Alice could be driving it during the links but Aled takes during the songs, sounds like he's slicking up the segues a bit like he used to for Scott (and Chris, although not so much). Although he may have done it before the show in dira and stuck it in automatic mode.

He was only doing the surgery (and I think he's still in the playlist meetings), this is the first show he's produced since Moyles.

If my memory serves me correct he took some time out and then came back and was working on special projects with Beccy whe doing the Surgery.

You might be right there actually, I remember they did something together, wasn't sure if it was short term or long term though.

Talking of Beccy, I wonder what she's doing in the office these days..

I think Aled and Beccy both work for the Impact and Development team in Radio 1 which organise the special projects like R1BW and AAA. Now that Aled has the Surgery and producing Alice's show now, I wonder how much work he is doing for I&D now or just mainly show production...

    • He's alive and doing Calgon promotion! Those five weeks off have to pay somehow 😂
    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
