Jordan’s in for Clara on the 20th Feb And Arielle is in for Adele 

21st Jordan’s in for Adele

I’ve just noticed, Adele is off for at least 2 weeks from the 14th Feb, and as yet she doesn’t have a return date on the schedules. Jordan is in for her and so on Sunday 24th, Katie Thistleton is in for Jordan!

Matt is doing Weekend Breakfast tomorrow solo and also on the 15-17th. Phil Taggart is in for Annie Mac on the 18th/19th. 

Also slipped under the covers was that the Radio 1 Asian Beats show since last Sunday was cut to two hours from 1am-3am onwards and therefore it means more repeats of previous programmes.

Wasn't it always two hours? Thought all the specialist shows were.

No, that was the only one that was 3 hours up until the weekend before last- They're repeating The Residency shows 3-4am for a couple of weeks, then it looks like they've got a new "Danny Howard's Club Mix" taking the slot after that

Whilst we're talking about weekend specialist shows, I really think they need to get rid of all the mindfulness stuff on a Friday night. It's just the most bizarre thing to have at 3am after the residency. Even if they did an hour of it from 5am on Saturday and Sunday mornings and brought 2 new dance shows in for 3-5am on Friday and Saturday nights

Agreed. Can they get rid off that Reagge show as well. It’s very Radio 2.  

Do they still air podcasts at like silly o clock? I’m normally asleep then lol.

I dunno about binning the repeat of David Rodigan, there will be quite a few in the target audience who like that kind of music, and at 4am on a Sunday it’s probably fine, the people who want it get it on BBC Sounds.

Adele is off her normal show from this Thursday until Monday 4th March! Between the 25th Feb and 29th, she’s covering for Dev on the 8th. On Friday 1st, Alice is presenting on her own and Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd, Arielle is covering for them both! 

How do we think Adele will sound on The 8th??

I think it would have been better with Jordan covering it, he seems like he’d want to do post watershed radio one day and that would have been a nice chance for him! 

It’s a primarily 1xtra based show though, Adele came across from them to do early breakfast and Jordan hasn’t ever presented for them, so it makes more sense - plus gives her a break from early mornings.

I think,Jordan deserves a better show than once a Week I can see global poacheing him when the contract is up and offer him a weekday show on capital or radio x if he’s still on one day a week at radio 1 that is 

 

Jordan is through and through radio 1, with him being their up and coming talent, they won’t loose him. He left his job at Rock FM which was 5 days a week to go to radio 1 to do just cover work. He isn’t going to sacrifice his chances to go back to working for Capital FM which he’s done before.

yeah, and if he waits a bit more he'll probably be the next drive host, Grimmy's not gonna last long on there

True, thats why i can't stand it. The hip hop rotation annoys me. Though i do like that dance track with Lily Allen on it when they play that:D

Think it's only Monday and Tuesday but I agree it is good, Phil's a really talented broadcaster who doesn't get nearly enough air time imo

Oh sorry, must’ve made a mistake there.  Yeah, I completely agree, wonder if there’s still any hope of him getting a better slot.

    • 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?? 
    • 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.
