Just noticed Adele Roberts is in for Jordan on greatest hits on Sunday as he covers matts show again and she's in for Clara on Monday aswell seems odd they don't use maya jama 

That’s a late change then as it wasn’t there when I checked yesterday. Maybe Matt didn’t want to do 14 days of Radio in a row

I seem to remember last Summer he did 3 weeks of Scotts show (2 weeks cos Breakfast cover and 1 which was Scotts Holiday) and he did the start and end weekend as well, someone else (Cel? or Jordan) doing the middle weekends so he did 7 in a row

I have known him to do 2 weeks of Scott cover in the past and do his weekend show as well - now they've got so many DJs on weekends cover is not an issue 

IMO Adele needs a better slot now, shes done her time on earlies

Pretty sure it’s the start of June but I’m not 100% sure

Probably after Biggest weekend

I wonder what shows will be from Swansea the week leading up to it? I remember last year Scott and Alice were on afternoons the week before live from Hull daily as they covered the Manchester aftermath on the Tuesday onwards playing music only for two days

Maya is off again this weekend with Jordan doing her Greatest Hits show. That’s the third week when Maya has been off with her only supposed to be off for one. Seems a bit strange - She hasn’t actually been on since those controversial tweets came out.

MistaJam's in to do the chart this week and next week, even though Sounds Like Friday Night finished last week and Greg's on both this week and next week.

I wonder whether he'll be going back to the chart at all, or if they're leaving MistaJam in place for the interim until Scott takes over.

I was thinking the same. It would be a shame for him not to have a final chart & dance anthems show, especially since that would also be the end of Dance Anthems on a Friday as well. He's mentioned it on air a couple of times recently, saying things like "I'm your man for all things chart! Until June, then they're axing me" and just yesterday, he said they were sacking him from the chart! All in jest I'm sure. :P

I am convinced this is part of a bigger scheme, Mills will become the "front man" for R1, doing the chart, and I can see them installing him on the Breakfast show as well

Okay, so Scott and Chris are playing their usual bangers game today, but when they were in for brekkie last time, they did Grimmy's game (his choice or celeb gamble). Not complaining though. 

Presumably it’s his normal team then rather than grimmys team.

I think that's because they covered for Grimmy at short notice with his production team, (sure they spoke to Fefe like Grimmy does as well) and Tina doing news, where as today, it will be Mark Lockett and team Mills producing as its "planned" Grimmy leave hence it's basically a Mills show but in the morning as opposed to afternoon, although this never used to happen in the Moyles days - if Moyles was off at short notice someone else used to cover and Mills only covered the "planned leave" wonder why that was ?

Sounded brill this morning on breakfast they should get the show all the time and put Matt and mollie in the afternoon, don't forget Matt and mollie are on afternoons this week

Just listened back, and yes bloody brilliant radio, he so needs to get that slot permenently before he leaves R1 

I am so convinced its only a matter of time and he will be in it, the current schedule changes are suttle but getting rid of the "get rid of Moyles" strategy, I reckon Aled is installing Mills the best DJ on the busiest shows, Mon-Thu breakfast and the chart so he is todays version of someone like Blackburn or Mayo, and Grimmy will end up somewhere else on the schedule (Mon-Thu 7-9 and only annie on a Friday?)

Did anyone hear Matt and Mollie today? Were they any good? 

Yeah, pretty good. I like Mollie, but I still can't get used to this format of Matt and a celeb co-host. And if I had the choice, I preferred Matt with Example. Still - a decent show, they've played 'license to spell' and talked about Mollie's weird sweating.

Oh and I don't know if they'll make it a regular feature (hopefully not, not my cup of tea) - ever since Matt got a co-host they tend to tease a couple of next songs with some sort of pun or reference. It feels a bit forced to me.

Some changes over the next couple of weeks:

Jordan and Maya are both doing the Greatest Hits together on Saturday presumably in preparation for the Biggest Weekend. 

Then on Sunday, Cel is doing the Greatest Hits with Jordan doing Matts Show. 

Then all next week, the DJs are doing one show each from Swansea so Greg on Monday, Scott on Tuesday, Clara on Wednesday and Grimmy invite Thursday. Greg is also back on the chart on that Friday. 

The Biggest Weekend schedule has already been posted above. 

The week after has Adele doing the breakfast show on the Monday and Phil doing Annie’s show in Monday as well. At the moment there is no presenter doing the Early Breakfast Show.

Will probably be Jordan. It is a bank holiday on the 28th (or at least it is here in Scotland).

I thought it might be Yasser since he’d have been doing Weekend Breakfast over the weekend and it would save Jordan having to travel back from Swansea on Sunday night.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
