Rest of schedule the same until 4pm when it goes back to normal except

Im amazed how much coverage they are doing from Reading this year!! 

The Saturday schedule has changed.

6am-10am: Alice Levine (Was Cel)

10am-12pm: Radio 1 Greatest Hits with Maya Jama & Jordan North (As before)

12pm-2pm: Dev (Was Scott & Chris)

2pm-11pm: As before

The Sunday schedule is the same except that Life Hacks & Most Played is just Cel.

Charile Sloth is on holidays from Thursday (Apart from Saturday) so it's Dev covering The 8th on Thursday and Dotty covering next week. Daniel P Carter is in for Annie Mac on Bank Holiday and next Wednesday is Huw Stephens last show before he moves to Sunday's 11pm-1am and Jack Saunders taking over his current slot. Dev is going solo next Tuesday.

Yeah, I saw that, very strange how it’s all changed but I’m just glad that Cel isn’t on for 4 hours anymore. 

Also, on Friday 31st Jordan is doing Early Breakfast, on Saturday 1st DJ Charlesy is in for DJ Target and on Monday 3rd, Dev is doing the 8th! 

Jack Saunders’ new show is called Radio 1’s Indie Show btw.

Radio 1's Indie Show is an interesting name - it ties in with the discussion on the other thread about how the playlist and chart has evolved over the years. It's sidelining the genre in the same way as rap or drum and bass - having one specific show dedicated to it (albeit three nights a week) as opposed to the more general new music show it has been in the past. Then again, I can't see indie being completely cut out from Annie Mac's Monday-Thursday show. 

As chuffed as I am for Jack who's a really good presenter, I don't quite understand the reason for the change - Huw's been doing a great job, finally on a show that suits his talents (unlike his three years on weekends). And it's not a diversity thing either - they're replacing one straight white male with another. I don't really see where Jack could end up in future - unless they give him the Grimmy treatment and move him to daytime in a few years this is probably the only show he'll ever do. Except maybe replace Annie Mac when the time comes. It's similar to Zane really - both poached from X to do a new music show, albeit 15 years apart.

Thanks for that chart, it’s very helpful!

So some schedule changes for the next few weeks, on Sunday, Cel is in for Dev and Alice and also Cel is doing Life Hacks solo. 

Next week, Dev is in for Charlie on Monday and Jack Saunders and Grimmy start their new shows. 

Then, on the weekend of the 14th September, Alice is off all weekend. 

Finally, on the 19th, Dev is in for Charlie on the 8th!

On Friday, Dev is doing weekend breakfast solo and then on Saturday, Adele is covering for Maya. 

Next Monday, Scott is in for Greg and Matt and Mollie are in for Scott. 

The week after, Jordan is in for Adele all week as she is in for Clara! 

Can't Jordan just sit in for Clara? He's a big boy now, and it stops the whole schedule jumping about. Its annoying how he's been around for so long but he's no trusted with a mid morning show, despite being a great presenter

It's probably to give Adele a bit of respite as well - getting up at 2:30 every weekday for 46 or so weeks of the year is still a lot. This way she gets a few more weeks of lie-ins filling for Clara too.

Exactly and she deserves more prominence than the early breakfast show usually gives her. I'd have no objection to Jordan covering Clara whatsoever but Adele is full-time and he only does one show a week usually so R1 probably feel like they have to make her the main cover. I do like getting to hear Adele during the daytimes too, she's a great presenter.

I see Adele taking over Clara’s Show next shake up

    • But he is posh, the opposite to Jordan. Not down to earth. You’re right, the show does play on it. If I’m honest, I stopped listening to Going Home, the day Laing started. Sam and Danni were better. 😂
    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • 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??
