Katie is doing Life Hacks solo on Sunday.

 

Friday 16th & Saturday 17th June

Nat O'Leary sits in for Katie

Monday 26th June

Ace sits in for Victoria Jane

How interesting in his long time career at the BBC (well ten years or just under) would be Ace’s first only time presenting exclusively on radio 1 without a simulcast with 1Xtra. I’m surprised that 1 Xtra aren’t carrying a repeat of Victoria Jane’s show in their 10PM-Midnight slot on either Wednesday and Thursday

Ace has been on 1Xtra on and off almost since the beginning of 1Xtra as a station, he was there at station launch in 2002 but he was there in very early days 2002/2003. I remember he was saying this on his show at the time of the 1Xtra birthday celebrations last year and trying to calculate how many hours of radio he had done with help from listeners and his producers lol. He had a couple of breaks of a few years but its well over a decade combined together. Considering how long he's been there Its weird that he hasn't popped up in any situation, particularly as he could cover RMC in the way MistaJam used to cover for Greg.

 

Its one of the baffling things about the separation of 1 and 1Xtra, as Radio 1 has played more Black music and particularly more Black UK music (100% homegrown as it was called on 1Xtra years ago) they are less reliant on 1Xtra. Apart from when Nadia Jae or Remi or somebody will pop up on Greg's show doing what's my age again they feel very separate. Even before the cutbacks of the 11pm-1am slot and axing three of Snoochie Shy's shows it feels like putting Future Soul on at some time in the night on 1Xtra like they already do with Benji's show is natural. And with Wednesday and Thursday free, it makes even more sense to have done that. The other confusing thing with the 1Xtra schedule is why they're not repeating Tiffany Calver's new show in the middle of the night, considering they know she's a fit with the audience and her new show is more general specialist rather than just rap which feels like its even more fit with R1

Mollie is solo on Friday 30th June, Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd July.

There's a new Anthems slot, 15.00-15.30 during Dean & Vicky's show Monday to Thursday, starting on Monday 3rd July.

Guessing the weekday Anthems slot at 3pm is going to be the new slot for July and August as they typically do one everyday during the summer months. I noticed that there is no 10am-11am Anthems slot so perhaps that is being changed to one 30 mins Anthems per Day.

I think it makes sense to do that. Two slots as a wall between Greg and mid-mornings always seemed like overkill. It also meant that the end to Greg's show each day felt a bit boring and RMC had an excuse to do even less actual entertainment than the little they were doing anyway. Dean and Vicky seems like a better time to do it as well as being shorter. Although, ideally the anthems slot should be in the middle of their slot with normal show either side. That way they don't have the start or end of their show stolen as they're the bits they should get to do the most the way they want (i.e. with personality and entertainment).
