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

I think that's a glimmer into what could happen in 2024 with some names. I have to be honest and say I found Joel Mitchell quite flat on early breakfast and a bit old hat local radio with content like name things that don't have a name like your hover. It's like come on. Good to see some other voices getting a turn again that haven't been on recently, I think Conor did one of the christmas shows and Shanequa was good.

My predicition, I think next year is the year they promote James after this year and the prime slot on NYE. He's covered a range of shows and could slot in to the R1 family tomorrow. He actually does always remind me of a northern scott and jordan hybrid, a very entertaining listen not to mention one up on global if they took him away.

They would then need some of the above names to cover more.

I agree that James is a good listen, but there's no guarantee he'd be offered a permanent slot should one become available. There has been so much change in pretty much every slot in the past few years that I'd like to see a few years of stability.. rather than a constant merry go round of changes. Any change next year I think will be triggered by either Matt or Greg deciding to leave the station. 

It's a shame those pre mixed 'Anthems' blocks are still in place over Christmas. I used to like it when they had themed days where they still had plenty of chance to talk between the songs.

So it's basically using those tried and tested on Friday early mornings for Christmas.

 

Not a bad idea to be fair.

 

Those of us who have been around longer will remember when the midnight to 0400 and early breakfast presenters (weekdays and weekends) covered periods like this.  Realistically - these days they'd have Arielle, Sam and Danni, Matt and Mollie (who are too big really to work Christmas), Katie (ditto) and Nat to cover.

I agree with you there, he is a good listen and yes there's never any guarantee that someone will get a permanent slot, but predicting based on what seems to be lacking from the station currently, how good the shows have been and where they continue to put James, that is my guess. Stability is always good but I think 2024 is potentially one of the larger shake ups and yes I agree Matt or Greg deciding to leave would be the trigger.

Presenter like Cusack would be potential recruit for next year I kind of feel that if Matt Edmonson were to leave that his successor would have to do it solo as think that BBC national networks and in particular radio 1 maybe at the peril of having to reduce the number of presenters and presenting duos could be be broken up I wonder if Vicky and Dean could be broken up and RMC leave.

I think inevitable soon that with the increase with the liscense fee not matching the state of inflation inevitably going to cause further budget cuts in the same period that operations of certain programmes are being outsourced across the country away from London. We know that there is cuts within BBC News and NewsNight I can assume that Radio 1 will have to make further cuts soon and the station may have to operate on a smaller budget.

Do we think this is future presenters as in newbies, or more to do with tracks from presenters of Future artists and Future sounds?

Great addition to the Christmas billing something I might have to catch up later on sounds after it goes out sounds like a fun show.

Jack Saunders invites presenters from Radio 1’s past, present and future to bring musical gifts for Christmas day.
 

That sounds like “presenters” my theory is that the presenters who came on the chart show anniversary stuck around
