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...

    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
