Christmas Schedule 2014


OohErr

Recommended Posts

About a month away, has the Christmas schedule been announced yet?

My (comprehensive) predictions:

Last year Greg was in Australia, so didn't do any radio over the Christmas period, but I think he's in the country this year, so hopefully he'll be back to the tradition of doing Christmas Day breakfast (even more hopefully with Chris Smith, although he does have a young family). Scott on breakfast between the 22nd and the 24th (also, it will be 5 years since Chappers left on the 24th- he's now been off the show for as long as he was on it). Also Greg will probably be the only live show Christmas day, and won't do any other shows until Monday 5th Jan (although I'd like to hear him with on Breakfast a bit more during that period, just to see what a Greg James Breakfast Show could sound like)

I reckon Dev will feature heavily in the schedule, because he takes any work thrown at him! Also, Alice Levine, bit of Jameela, and I think this will be Phil Taggart's year for Christmas cover. A lot of pre-rec as well, the usual Big Weekend/Teen Awards highlights.

So, we have...

Monday 22nd December - Wednedsay 24th December

0400 Adele Roberts

0630 Scott Mills

1000 Alice Levine

1300 Matt Edmondson

1600 Dev

Thursday 25th December

0600 Greg James (with Chris Smith?)

1000 Pre-rec Phil Taggart

1300-1900 Pre-rec Big Weekend highlights

Friday 26th December

0400 Adele Roberts

0630 Dev

1000 Jameela Jamil

1300 Phil Taggart

1600 Pre-rec Teen Awards highlights with Matt Edmondson

Saturday/Sunday 27th/28th December

0600 Dev

1000 Phil Taggart

1300 Alice Levine

1600 Danny Howard/Chart with Jameela

Monday 29th December-Friday 2nd January

0400 Adele Roberts

0630 Dev

1000 Alice Levine

1300 Phil Taggart

1600 Matt Edmondson

Those are my comprehensive predictions, any thoughts? Let's see how accurate we are.

He's drivetime show presenter at Rock FM in Lancashire also former student radio DJ. In his soundcloud page he has some bits from his show, have a listen https://soundcloud.com/01_jnorth

Wow, had a quick listen- I'm impressed. The accent is a tad irritating, but I got over Coxy, I can get over his. I hope that the good stuff he's doing on commercial radio transfers well to Radio 1, it never really worked with Pete Allison (plus I couldn't deal with him using the name "Pete Allison's Early Bit"- shameless rip off of The Saviour himself). Looking forward to hearing him over Christmas.

Also, devastated that Greg's not doing Christmas Day breakfast anymore- he really loved doing that show, and as much as I love Scott, I think that as the most established person on Radio 1, he shouldn't have to work over Christmas, he can never really be bothered with those shows anyway.

Over the last few days, Scott has confirmed that he and Chris are doing the Christmas Day breakfast show. I'd also imagine they'd be doing the rest of the week like last year. Also, today (Saturday 29 November) Phil Taggart who is in for Alice said he was the 'Christmas temp of Radio 1' although no mention of particular shows just yet.

Heard Greg saying earlier this afternoon that he wanted to do Christmas breakfast this year, and he asked if he could, but wasn't allowed as punishment for being on holiday this time last year. Shame, it was a great tradition.

I heard the same! I also heard the phrase, "Screw you, management". Nice man.

Huw's a strange choice to be on that week, and the week before, now he's strictly specialist. I'd assume he'll be running down the Sound of 2015 list, but still, he doesn't need to do the whole show. I was expecting more Dev and Phil Taggart actually, and Matt Edmondson's not on at all over the festive period. Weird Scott's not having any time off as well, he hasn't been on holiday for a while (apart from the Strictly training). For that second week of January, I would've liked to hear someone else on breakfast that doesn't normally cover it, like Greg James or Matt Edmondson. Oh well, Scott Mills FM it is. Better make the most of it, could be his last Christmas...

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
