Just been announced that Victoria Easton off of Dan & Phil has been promoted... to the Breakfast Show! A bold decision; I suspect she'll be a silent producer though.

This got me thinking; who produces what on Radio 1 now?

All contributions welcome ;)

Breakfast show - Matt Fincham, Fiona Hanlon, apparently now Victoria Easton

Fearne Cotton - Sarah Dray, someone called JC maybe?

Scott Mills - Will Foster and Chris Sawyer. Obvs. Why did Cara never come back by the way?

Greg James - Pippa Taylor and Travis Walby

Dev - Someone called Lanray or something. Referred to on air as Producer Lanners. Maybe Gary Pounder as well.

Matt Edmondson - Chris Cox

Alice Levine - Ian Chaloner

Gemma Cairney - Rodery Something or other

Those are all the ones I know.

It has been confirmed that Matt Fincham off of the breakfast show will leave at the end of the week to produce Annie Mac's evening show. This means that the production team on the breakfast show will be Victoria Easton as producer, Fiona as assistant produceer and a team assistant.

Bit of an odd move that one, breakfast producer to evenings. Last time there was producer changes on breakfast with Matt leaving and going elsewhere we had a change in the breakfast show.

That's what I thought.

Maybe Annie is going to do the Breakfast show?!!

Perhaps, although would be odd to change it now that Annie has just got the evening show. Saying that Clara had just got the Chart Show!

I wonder whether they have given Grimmy a new producer ready for a breakfast swap with Gregg? New slot time, new producing team?

That's a shame - I think Sawyer was behind a lot of the comedy on the show of late I hope his departure doesn't mark a decline in quality. The new AP is Roushan Allam (off of being left in a room with the Saturdays).

Grimmy's zoo format sounds a bit flat of late - since Ian and Matt Fincham left, it's just become Grimmy and Fiona and it sounds a bit lonely. Vic doesn't seem to have much of an on-air presence, although they have been involving Tina in the general chat more, which I like. Tina sounds much more relaxed now than she did on The Chris Moyles Show, and even at the beginning of Grimshaw's breakfast show. Hopefully Chris will be a good on air addition, he seems very funny but never really got the chance to speak on Scott's show.

    • 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.
