Chart Show to Change Day?

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?

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.

    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
    • Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.
