I dont listen but has dean had loads of time off recently?

It seems like it. I still think that 2024 is the year of some change, I could quite easily see Dean and Vicky splitting and doing different shows

Shanequa Paris is in for Vick on Sunday 24th December.

And presenters for the Anthems shows are gradually being added:

Conor Knight 06.00-10.00 on 26th & 27th December.

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.

Nothing listed from 11am onwards for Christmas day yet. Last year there was only one live show with Jordan (Dean & Vicky were pre recorded). I assume we'll get the Celebrity takeover specials in the afternoon like last year.

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.

Also on the 2nd-4th January, Jack is covering for Clara with Sian covering for Jack on the 2nd-3rd. Sam And Danni in for Arielle on Early Breakfast from the 2nd-4th.

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?

Presenters it sounds like. I’m thinking the likes of Mark Goodier, Tony Blackburn. Zane or Annie Mac for past, Clara, Danny, Sarah story, Sian for present and future Connor Coates maybe?

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

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.

    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
