Radio 1 Schedule Changes

Katie's actually sounding quite good on Greatest Hits. I think she's a more capable broadcaster than Cel Spellman, although she sounds identical to Adele Roberts which might not help her career for as long as Adele's still at the station. 

She just dedicated Sweet Dreams My LA Ex by Rachel Stevens to Warrick Brownlow-Pike - someone people of my age might be more familiar with as Oucho T Cactus!

I've just wanted to say the same thing - Katie reminds me a lot of Adele. Not only do they sound similar, but I'd also say that they've got pretty similar style of presenting. Rather on the 'standard' side, no wacky features but solid, good, technical presenting. I'm a massive fan of Adele because she's such a lovely person. Katie sounds so much better than Maya. It would be really lovely to have her every week.

I hadn't noticed how similar Katie and Adele sound until you mentioned it, maybe because I'm also a northerner. I agree she's a good presenter but I thinks she suits the format of Life Hacks/The Surgery more than daytime music-led shows. That said, it would be good to hear her do more cover when Jordan's not available.

Ali Plumb off of Movies is in for Phil Taggart tonight.

I thought I’d just put all these schedule changes together:

Rest of today:

Matt in for Scott, Jordan in for Greg, Grimmy in for Annie.

Rest of the week:

Matt in for Scott, Grimmy and Bastille in for Annie

Friday:

Alice and Dev in for Grimmy, Danny in for Annie, Hannah Wants in for Danny.

Next Saturday: 

Dev is doing Weekend Breakfast solo (again)

Next Sunday: 

Cel is doing Life Hacks solo

Next Monday: 

Jordan in for Adele, Scott and Chris in for Grimmy, Adele in for Clara, Matt and Mollie in for Scott,  Clara in for Annie

Rest of the week: 

Scott and Chris in for Grimmy, Matt and Mollie in for Scott, Clara and Blossoms in for Annie

I wonder why, which has been the theme this week, the Monday the standard presenter gets their show covered and does the Annie Mac one but the other four days does two shows? not that I'm saying its wrong just seems funny, maybe to give them more prep time ? meet the crew they are working with? 

Why not get Mistajam to cover Annie per usual? is it because hes also doing the chart and 1xtra drive is a more prominent slot? 

I also think Greg is being short changed a bit, although he is getting to do prime time BBC 1 on a Friday (Scott's TV at the moment is limited to BBC 4 and iplayer)

Also, I think it's worth to point out that in the past it was Cel in for Greg and Jordan in for Adele and now it's the other way round. A tiny bit of an upgrade for Jordan!

Cel has never been Greg's cover. Think he did it once on a bank holiday but Dev and Jordan are now Greg's cover in that they do full weeks and normal weekdays.

I wonder who’s the main cover for all the daytime shows. I think it’s this:

Adele - Jordan

Nick - Scott, Maybe Alice and Dev as well

Clara - Adele and Jordan

Scott - Matt (and Mollie)

Greg - Jordan and Dev

Weekend: 

Alice and Dev - One of them does it solo

Greatest Hits - No idea: Maybe Katie, maybe Adele 

Matt - Jordan

It does surprise me how much cover Jordan really does looking at this and how little amount Alice and Maya do. 

If anyone knows of anything that I’ve missed then just say.

That sounds about right, although it's not unheard of for Alice or Dev to do full weeks in for Scott, sometimes with Chris Stark, although it hasn't happened for a while.

It doesn't surprise me that Maya isn't used for daytime cover (although she's only been there two minutes, so we'll see). I highly doubt she could carry a personality show by herself. Alice Levine can though, but she's busy enough at weekends, nevermind weekday cover.

Always think it's such a shame Alice doesn't do more weekday cover. I hope it's just that she isn't available rather than Radio 1 not asking her. She was Fearne Cotton's main cover but ever since Clara took over, it seems to be Adele (who's brilliant btw). Alice has always been brilliant covering the main personality shows like Scott and Greg - I wish she did it more. Alice/ Matt covering Scott and Alice/Jordan covering Greg would be pretty strong in my opinion. Sorry but Dev is just an instant turnoff when he's in for Greg.

Also thought Katie Thistleton sounded great at the weekend. Hope she gets to do more cover by herself on Greatest Hits or early breakfast.

About what I was expecting really. A bit of a shame that Matt and Adele aren’t doing the 10 till 1 slot again as I really enjoyed them opening the whole thing up last year. In fact, Adele isn’t even there. That’s strange. 

Also, why is Ed Sheeran on so early. Most people won’t be there by then.

    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
