Dev is in for Greg on the 22nd. MistaJam is in for Greg on the 23rd which means he is doing the charts and Dance Anthems. (Also means it's live-mixed)

Danny Howard is in for Annie Mac as well on the 23rd which means Monki takes Danny Howard's usual show.

Few more things to add here: 

Jordan is in for Greg from Monday 26th to Thursday 29th with Mistajam covering the chart on Friday. 

The rest of Good Friday is like a normal Saturday: 

4:00 Adele Roberts 

6:30 Greatest Hits with Alice Levine

10:00 Greatest Hits with Maya Jama

1:00 The Matt Edmondson Show

Finally, I think Easter Monday is the same as this apart from Jordan doing the Greatest Hits.

Schedule Changes:

Good Friday is the same as a normal Saturday with Easter Monday being the same as a normal Monday. 

On Good Friday, Annie Mac and Danny Howard are presenting the Rave Lounge from 7pm to 1am which seems like a nice idea. 

And for (at least) the next two weeks Alice is doing Weekend Breakfast on her own.

Since when was Phil Taggart on a Sunday called “Radio 1’s Chillest Show with Phil Taggart”?? Missed that one go by!

Quite a nice name! Nice to hear him on for Annie Mac this week as well, maybe he's finally been brought in from the cold. He also made not one but two Partridge references during his chat with Jordan North, which is fine by me.

I’m also liking Jordan covering but he seems to be playing LOADS more songs than Greg does (and even Dev when he covers) 

I was wondering, his links seemed a bit short but they were all good so not too many complaints. I'd imagine it's just because he's never done that show before, and he's used to doing commercial radio. Hopefully he'll master longer links as time goes on. If they let him.

How'd you guess? I should probably lay off, she's not the devil. Although she has now been bumped from Rage for Molly King.

Are they trying to push Mollie as a new presenter then maybe? She’s been very good with Matt and she seems to be on this weekend on the Friday and Saturday with Matt which I don’t think was the original plan.

Wasn't Scarlett Moffat going to take over co-host duties with Matt after a month?

It’s actually Example throughout April but Scarlett is coming up. 

I don’t think Matt was supposed to be having any co host this weekend as it’s the Greatest Hits Weekend.

    • It's a bizarre thing though....it would be nice to hear a few more tracks from the past 10 years mixed into daytime. However, at the other extreme, I find it odd how often really old tracks come up on Anthems and even the likes of Soundsystem Party and Dance Anthems.   The odd throwback is great but sometimes it feels too much.
    • I do like Cat Burns but it’s a good point about the many artists on future artists and other specialist shows. If they manage to launch the ‘Anthems’ like sister station hope they make changes to the stations playlist.
    • Some shows do play some songs from pre-2018 regularly. Mainly Matt & Mollie and Radio 1 Breakfast. Also don't forget the shortened Anne-Marie - Ciao Adios which gets played every 26 seconds. 😂
    • I hate reverse snobbery and I post this reluctantly as we shouldn't hold Jamie's background against him, but I do think many listeners will find it hard to identify with Jamie.  One of the things that made Jordan so popular was he sounded like the mate you go for a pint with who always has a great story to tell.
    • Absolutely - life would be dull if we all liked the same things  
    • Dean in for Greg on Tuesday.
    • While it maybe doesn't the power it once has (where being on the A-List was a big deal), It's a big part of the station and I felt probably deserves it's own thread. Have to be honest I haven't been hugely enamored with the playlist in recent times. Radio 1 seem quite heavily wedded to it in weekdays (at least Monday-Thursday) which can lead to the station being repetitive if you listen throughout the day. Even a station like Capital who are known for their limited playlist seem to throw in some older tracks and artists ever so often whereas if it's not Something Songs, 10 Minute Takeover or Anthems you often struggle to hear a song from before 2018. The repetitive nature has been a thing for a while though to be fair - I recall early 2021 in particular it felt like Tiesto's 'The Business' and Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers Licence' were played every other hour. Also certain Radio 1 favourites seem almost guaranteed a slot on the playlist even if they don't actually appear to be wildly popular with the target audience to justify it. I get it with your Dua Lipas, Calvin Harrises, Fred Agains  and Olivia Rodrigos as they're all very popular but less so if it's say Cat Burns, Aitch, Royal Blood or Mabel. Which is fine to an extent as Radio 1 has often focussed on promoting new music but then you have great music by other new artists that just never makes it to the playlist as a result.
    • Yep I really struggled with Matt & Jamie which was a shame as otherwise really like Matt. Unfortunately it comes across on-air whether it's actually try or not that Jamie doesn't know a lot about radio and doesn't seem particularly desperate to improve either or if I'm being generous he's playing an act - neither of which particularly appeals. The everyman act can sometimes work but you need to have that natural likability and appeal for it to do so in the way that way Chris Stark did. I mean even towards the end of his stint with Matt Jamie was struggling with getting the Whatsapp number right which is a basic.
    • Have to say even if there is a good reason for Jamie to be off on Thursdays the optics of them a month in still not be able to do a 'normal week' of the scheduled team for a brand new show isn't great. And if Jamie was meant to be away on Thursdays clearly nobody let whoever runs BBC Sounds know. Who would've guessed from the Vick & Jordan days though that it would be Vick who's the everpresent so far (just kidding Vick - really rate her as a DJ and I know she has a lot of other engagements outside of Radio 1).
    • Sorry explain what you mean there please? Danny is unlistenable?? 
    • I dunno if it is me but even Vick and Katie don't sound as good in that slot alone as they did before. Maybe I have just fallen out of love with it all.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
