R1 to R2 transfers

I know this has been discussed before but it has mainly been people saying x person should do it. But who do you think will do it.

I think Greg will do breakfast with Chris Smith given a more on air role and Nick will do Drivetime.

[Wizard]

I think Matt Edmonson should take drive and Greg should take breakfast, or vice-versa. Alice Levine should take Fearne's show and Nick & Fearne should be moved to weekends.

I don't know what they'd actually do though, there's a number of combinations they could pick from.

[bensteele]

I like Greg on at drivetime, gives me loads more time to be able to listen to the show at a convenient time. I also am sort of getting to gripss wiith Grimmy now too, perhaps have Fearne hosting the Official Chart and Jameela having a daily slot on weekdays? I also think the breakfast show should start at 7am.

[Rob]

I think Grimmy will be on Breakfast for a while, long enough that someone we don't even know about yet will replace him. I reckon the next major reshuffle will see no change in Breakfast, Mills will go over to Radio 2 with Dev getting his show and Chris staying on with him. Greg will stay where he is and Fearne will probably be replaced with Cairney or Levine. I'm not sure how long Zane has before Hew gets his slot.

Zane is getting annoying now with his "PUMP PUMP PUMP"... I'd prefer the softer tones of Huw at that sort of time. I think Radio 1 need to sort out their weekend evening scheduling - at 7:00pm on Saturday evenings, they just swap over to Radio 1Xtra - seems lazy to me.

Matt Edmundson should get a weekday show

Matt Edmundson should get a weekday show

I think that if he was to be "promoted", I'd put him back on an evening slot so that he can expressly talk about the things he wants to, that are a bit mature for Sunday morning listeners.

Why does everybody love Alice Levine, id much prefer Jameela to get a weekday slot to Alice.

Alice sounds good with somebody, but alone she sounds poor and bad.

A lot of people on this site (me included) think that Jameela sounds a bit flirty on-air. I think she's got a great announcing voice, though. Jameela should be axed from presenting altogether and given a job at Newsbeat or doing the trails you hear inbetween records sometimes.

She seems like deadwood to me.

I think the folk that work at Newsbeat are qualified journalists which (I may be wrong) I don't think Jameela is. The voiceover people are normally freelance so are paid per line, which I don't think Jameela would be into. I personally think she suits the chart quite well.

That's a good point - this is, of course, in an ideal world of course - I doubt Jameela will be axed from the chart anytime soon, to be honest.
