Radio 1 Schedule Changes

How crazy is this - assuming Scott bridges the gap between Grimmy and Greg, he will have done it for FIVE breakfast show hosts - he first did it between Zoe Ball finishing and Sara Cox starting, then again between Coxy and Moyles, then Moyles and Grimmy and now (hopefully) Grimmy and Greg. Amazing.

I might even dig out and edit the shows from Scott Mills's "shortest breakfast show ever" back in 2012.

And then Jordan's filling in for Matt all weekend too! He's a busy boy. And Adele's on all next weekend too - back on earlies on Friday, Dance Anthems on Saturday and weekend breakfast on Sunday. The schedule for Monday week isn't up yet, so we don't know who's on drive that week.

Its Dev and Alice again that week according to Digiguide, off the top of my head I think they’re doing the week after too, but i might be making that up :lol:

 

EDIT: Dev and Alice are doing WB 6th too, Adele seems to be covering their Sunday show every week until the schedules goes back to normal!

Ah that's a shame, a week or two of Jordan on drive would've been nice and a great opportunity for him. 

I agree, I can’t see why he isn’t first choice because it surely would be more convenient to have him on over Dev and Alice as he only does 1 show a week. 

Also, I’ve just realised Jordan has covered every weekday show on the schedule in just this year! Not a lot of DJs have the chance to that!

Nick Bright is doing The 8th tonight and Dev on the Tuesday so a double shift for Dev on Tuesday. Jordon is also doing a double shift on Friday as he is doing Early Breakfast and sitting in for Matt for Friday-Sunday. Katie Thistleton is in for Maya on Friday, Cel is doing Greatest Hits Sunday so a double shift for him while Adele is doing Dance Anthems Saturday and Weekend Breakfast Sunday.

Probably means that the Drivetime and maybe Breakfast changes start 3rd September.

Which makes sense to start it that week because that's when people go back to school/college! I'm sure I read before that in July/August listener figures drop because of this, so it would be stupid to start a new breakfast show during that period when nobody is awake :D

Just me who thinks so many weeks off for swapping shows is a bit excessive? if its what prepares them for the best possible start to the show then why not but others have only taken 1 or 2 weeks off before they took over...

I’m not sure, I think we’ll get 3 weeks of Matt and Mollie since they haven’t done any cover so far. 

The only thing is that Matt seems to be off a lot at the moment and so Jordan is covering his show which means that in a couple of weeks time, Jordan wouldn’t have done his Greatest Hits Show for about a month.

It is a bit of a mess at the moment - Grimmy is the only person still doing his regular show! They probably wanted everyone to get in their holidays now so that the full line up is on for the breakfast launch. 

It's all over the show but getting other presenters some exposure

I also think we'll get 3 weeks of Scott on Breakfast which leads me into my next question; will Scott use his breakfast package which is basically Grimmys but with the name changed to Scott's or will he just use his generic afternoon jingles, like when he covered between Moyles and Grimmy and milk it being the "shortest breakfast show ever" except if this is longer than five shows it won't have been

Also noticed Alice and Dev did well not making reference to Greg apart from at 1806 when they said "should we be doing something now" referring to the ten minute takeover

Of course it must be hard for them not to say "oh hi it's Dev and Alice here in for Greg" at the moment

    • People Party Playlist? WhooooOOoOoooOOOOoooOOooOOoooooOOooooooO
    • The irony of Jordan moving to Capital Radio is it seems to speed up Greg's eventual move from Radio 1 Breakfast. I think Greg's show is great, but he hasn't had any significant competition in his time on mornings. Now there is there'll be more scrutiny of the figures, he might be more tempted to move, which is probably what Jordan wanted before he left!
    • I think Jack Saunders if in for the long haul may mature and develop as a presenter with the opportunities to do big interviews and features. I think I really enjoyed him doing the late version of the indie show the presentation style of future artists got repetitive of presenting as if every show is the first time the shows on air with over explaining the purpose. But think this show could have a different approach 
    • Not a fan of Jack Saunders, but ...  This is a marked improvement over Clara Amfo (almost anything would have been) - And it's also better than what JS was doing in his previous slot - He's definitely been listening back to Zane Lowe, and drawing lessons from that.
    • @lochnessa what an incredible feature, really do miss the games from that show
    • Life Hacks is on 20.00-22.00 on Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th May - in place of Future Artists and Future Pop.
    • Brother or Lover? WhooooOOOOooooeoeehrheroooooooooo.
    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital?
