murste 63 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 BIG WEEKEND SCHEDULE (BOTH DAYS)10:00 = Matt Edmondson & Greg James13:00 = Alice Levine & Nick Grimshaw16:00 = Scott Mills & Annie Mac (Saturday) ; Scott Mills and Chris Stark (Sunday)19:00 = Huw Stephens & Dev23:00 = Phil Taggart (Highlights)Can't remember the last time the schedule was pretty much identical over both days but it's a really strong line-up and some good pairings there. Good to see Greg doing some of the radio coverage as in previous years, he has done BBC Three only. So the last time Fearne will be heard on Radio 1 will be next Friday - she seems to be going to Big Weekend for fun and farewells rather than work. Only name missing is Gemma Cairney, which is a bit of a kick in the teeth for her and a strong indication that she has fallen out of favour with R1 bosses. Trevor Nelson, who is usually part of the line-up, is also missing which means no 1Xtra voices which I find strange considering the promotion of 1Xtra on Radio 1 recently and the push to integrate the two stations. Danny Howard is also absent.NotesGreg James and Clara Amfo are hosting BBC Three's coverage over the weekend.Adele Roberts is looking after Weekend Breakfast while Dev is in Norwich.Clara Amfo starts presenting the 10-12:45 slot the day after Big Weekend finishes (Monday 25th) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebaileysface 10 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Is anyone else really not bothered by the Big Weekend, it all seems a little dull this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensteele 46 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Refreshing to see such a varied and interesting schedule! Dev used to work for 1Xtra as you know, but I agree, it's strange there's no 1Xtra hosts like Sarah Jane Crawford.... I'm so glad Gemma is slowly being edged out of the door. Props to her for getting a job there, not sure how mind you, but I just think she's damned awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan12 55 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Gemma has another week off next week (Adele covering). Seems very odd seeing as this week was her first time on air in two weeks. With Adele taking over Early Breakfast full-time on 1 June, Gemma only has a week left on daytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be very strange for Adele though; covering a show that isn't her own so regularly, but will be hers in about two weeks! Gemma's clearly given up on the show (although some argue she gave up in March last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tr15 10 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Gemma hasn't even got one whole week after that! Yasser from Asian Network is covering 28th and 29th May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
