Hello everyone Aled here, Head of Programmes at Radio 1. Thank you for all your passion for Scott,  Chris and Radio 1 - the station’s success relies on fans like yourselves caring about radio and

If she's good I'm willing to change my mind, but until proven otherwise can we refer to Maya Jama within the context of Scott's show as the homewrecker?

I used to work at a radio station (not R1, think smaller!) so I have a bit of an insight into this, although I'm sure it varies. Where I worked, around half of the presenters were staff and half

18th January:

11pm-1am: Mo Ayoub sits in for Benji B.

It does seem like going forward that Radio 1's Power Down Playlist is moving to the graveyard slot of 3am-4am in the new year from the 11th January and going from 3 days a week to 2 days on Wednesday and Friday morning. Radio 1's Essential Albums seems to be the replacement in the 10pm-11pm slot, Monday-Wendesday.

Unless theres an announcement to be named of a future programme change for 10pm-11pm Mon-Wed in new year. I had feeing it couldn’t last but feel that Future Alternative Playlist could work in the slot on one of the days can imagine Essential Albums would be there for short time. Would like to see more done with the ‘Future’ name like ‘Future Fusion’ with mix of world music, electro-jazz, asian/Afrobeats, Future Funny with fresh stuff from comedians like stand-up and original comedy programming. Could even have Future Bars of future rap

I feel like they should move some of the specialist shows that are on at 11pm like the Rock Show, Annie Nightingale and Benji B up an hour to 10pm and all the other 1 hour shows that seems designed to broadcast for the purpose of being made for BBC Sounds to 12am onwards. I do agree though they could do a Future Rap show, yes 1Xtra is already a core part of Rap/RnB but Radio 1 is critical to them playing Grime and Rap.

Shereen Cutkelvin doing early breakfast on Friday for 3 weeks. Don't think I recognize that name unless I'm wrong somewhere.

Jordan and Katie doing drivetime 6th - 9th February. I thought they'd have had him solo now and then on drive.

Maia Beth is on for 2 weeks from 2nd February, then Mollie King returns on the 16th doing Future Pop 8pm-10pm on Thursday.

Interestingly, I don't think they've ever used Maia as daytime cover have they - never had her in for Dean & Vicky or RMC? Do you think she'll cover Dean & Vicky's show?

I heard from a tip-off that Vick Hope may be covering Hallam FM breakfast for a week in March and then doing her Going Home with Vick & Jordan show later on in the day. However, it's not entirely confirmed yet, they haven't confirmed Big John's cover presenter for then.

But this would be a surprising thing for her to do? Doing two shows a day isn't that odd for some presenters, but for someone of her profile/status?

Barely anyone has covered anything on daytimes due to the way they’ve been doing things with RMC and Vick and Jordan. It’s mainly Matt Edmondson and Katie Thistleton that are responsible for daytime covering. Emil Franchi has just started his foray into it. Why do you think Maia Beth should be doing it?

Hallam FM would be very surprising for Vick to cover on. Where did you get that from?

I think it's probably based on from when I've heard they used to get new presenters covering daytime or how the BBC locals had their weekend presenters covering; I seem to remember Kat Cowan doing a few daytime shows now and then on BBC Radio Sheffield even though she's a producer for some shows - can't remember when.

I wrongly thought Radio 1 was managed like that, but it's not.

IIRC, Vicky Hawkesworth did some daytime cover on Radio Manchester now and then as well as her Friday night show before she did Dean & Vicky.

I think I got it wrong somewhere.

My source works in radio (sales side of it) and wishes to remain anonymous, but they've heard claims about Vick doing cover on Hallam FM breakfast since about Christmas.
