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...
