I doubt they'd do a lot of promo recently for Clara Amfo's chart only to change the host to Greg. The alternative is Clara doing Fridays 4-7 and I REALLY can't see that happening.

The other option is to announce the number 1 on Friday and do the rest of the chart on Sunday, but then it would make Sunday's show very redundant.

Hopefully they count the chart Friday to Friday but publish it on a Sunday.

Maybe the show could go out 7-9 in Annie's current slot

I imagine they will stick it where it is until bigger changes later in the year. When Fearne goes soon Alice will move to weekdays and Clara can do weekend afternoons.

Awkward timing for radio 1 though, Dan and Phil would have suited the Sunday 4-7 slot perfectly.

How did you know Fearne was leaving?

I think it was widely speculated she was pregnant, she was going to have to disappear at least for a number of months. Wasn't right about Alice though.

I'm guessing they could do the chart show during Clara's new show but it doesn't seem the most logical place. Perhaps Greg's Friday afternoon show would be a good time... I'm not a big fan of the dance stuff he does on that day, and the midweek update has worked around that time.

That's exactly what I said Jono, Greg's Friday show is sounding pretty stale in my opinion.

Oops yes quite a few people have suggested Friday. Perhaps if she presented it with Greg it would then leave opportunity for Greg to do it if the five days a week gets too much.

Could they not bring Dan and Phil back and have the other YouTubers as guest's?

It's only been less than half a year since they made the changes, and some of them (Jack & Dean, Charlie McDonnell) are, strangely, getting semi-regular spots or appearing more than once.

It's a bit confused and I preferred just Dan and Phil. Sunday night is no time for a rock show.

It doesn't work having the same three youtubers for me. Also is it just me, or is the Rock Show not really hitting the 15-29 demographic?

But all they seem to want to hit with these experiments are 15/16 year olds it seems.

Yeah there seemed to be no doubt about it - looks like the chart will be moving. They've confirmed Clara's still doing it so I can only assume it'll be Fridays 10-12:45. The theorist in me wonders if she was picked for the chart because they knew it was going to be moving, and she'd already been lined up to take over Fearne...

Also, and I don't think anyone's mentioned it, but I would assume The Official Chart Update will be moving to Mondays?

I can't see the Chart working at that time. As pointed out, the chart's target audience won't be listening then and I just think it's the wrong slot for a show like that.

I'm still baffled as to why Alice isn't taking over from Fearne. They should have given Alice that slot and left the Chart Show on a Sunday at 4pm with Clara and then introduce an Official Chart Roundup with Scott & Clara on Fridays at 3pm - high climbers, new entries and the Top 5 in full with an interview with the artist at No.1 plus the album chart. Then do the full show on a Sunday.

Personally, I don't think the Chart Show is that relevant anymore and I wouldn't object to such a show on a Friday and then a new show at 4pm on a Sunday but I know the chart is a bit of an institution and probably rates well.
