Monday 3rd May

7-9 Rickie, Melvin & Charlie

9-10 Club Charlie 

I wonder whether they’ll bring some of their current features to weekdays suppose maybe in Thursdays they may do more weekend vive anthems and stuff like club Charlie

Maybe they could’ve given Vick and Katie the breakfast show on 17th (M&M are hosting that), with Matt and Mollie doing Scott’s show, with Vick and Katie doing Jordan’s show on Friday and Saturday, with maybe RMC on Sunday.

Yes does seem odd will they double shift on a Sunday but think they’d be good on at afternoons for that time and good with the listeners think they rather keep more consistency with breakfast cover much as possible same team covering breakfast

He just said on air that he is taking week commencing 17 May off so he can go home and see his family as soon as the restrictions on overnight stays are lifted.

That’s fair and will be well deserved break

Several elements suprise me here

A. why not use Jordan in the week? unless he is going home?

B. Why double shift them on Sunday, when someone like Arielle, or any of the weekday DJs could cover Jordans slot, before he went to drivetime, in fact after he did it wasn't unknown for Greg to cover a weekend shift, or Scott for that matter (although in this case Scott is off)

Greg used to regularly cover the chart on a Sunday and Scott did too, and cover things like dance anthems and all

Chris Moyles used to cover weekend shifts sometimes, when they were at last resort, it seems these days the weekday lot only stray to weekend shows when its something like Big Weekend

Jordan must be unavailable. Going home on the 17th when restrictions allow seems only fair when he says it’s been since last Summer since he saw family.

The only schedule hasn’t been uploaded for the Sunday yet? Do we know if they are double shifting. I agree RMC or Arielle covering Sunday morning would be better.

Or even Greg - I bet he would if given the call

Chris Stark? give him a chance to do it solo

I don’t think Chris can drive the desk so it would be hard for him. Don’t forget, the schedules aren’t out for Sunday 23rd yet so it’s possible that Vick and Katie are in fact not on Sunday 23rd - we’ll have to wait for that.

I think Chris does know how to do bits as think he may have done bits when Scott’s struggling to get in at suction at times did some of the sound effects but isn’t probably contacted for cover presenting and is probably down as a co host not a solo host in ways like there are ones on commercial radio who contribute maybe done the odd pre recorded show but all within the team format. Think they more of a duo

Would but you don’t see breakfast presenters going out of their schedules really not unless they have a weekend show on commercial. There have been times when Katie or Cel double shifted before but possible that Jess Izsatt Arielle could most likely only time heard Greg covered on weekends was the chart before he started his tenure on the chart but think did on few occasions due to the fact how big her show is and exceptions of festivals or teen awards think times when Jordan takes time off feel Mollie could do mornings of weekends and Matt could do afternoons solo save on the cash as they were both going to be in that day and don’t have to really pay more

Arielle covered for Jordan a couple of months ago so she could have easily done it. Jess probably wouldn't as she does her show on BBC London the night before. Splitting up Matt and Mollie would be a strange move in my opinion.

I'd be shocked if it wasn't Arielle on the Sunday.

Lots of interesting changes there - nice to see Dean McCullough covering already, it will be nice to see what he sounds like bouncing off another presenter. 
 

Also good to see Sam and Danni off the Christmas line up being used again and Vick in for Annie is an unexpected choice but one that I can definitely see working!

Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston are doing a stint for early breakfast later this year i think,
They covered at Chrtimass, and were fairly good, so it sort of make sense to bring them back.

 

 

On Vic, unexpected. But she host a music podcast on sounds, so probably got the background and passion for music to do the show. will be interring to see  how she gets on

Katie is in for Arielle this Wednesday.

Is that the first time Arielle has been off this year (excluding bank holidays)? Grimmy hasn't had any weeks off air since Christmas either (apart from the one day covered by Jack Saunders). Hopefully we get a good couple of weeks back to back of Jordan covering soon.

    • 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.
    • Agree with most of this above. Listening to only vick and katie today, I was thinking that it doesn't need Jamie. Its very jarring how sometimes he's there and sometimes he isn't. I don't think it needs to be a trio. Surely there are bigger problems at the moment, Danny on a pretty big slot on the station is literally unlistenable.
    • Yes, the length of the time on the station does help as with Annie Mac she did what dance specialist DJs kind of get a bit more favourability with the evening listeners who start out on something specialist. With Annie Mac she did years on dance before going to the flagship new music specialist programme with giving opportunities to new DJs and curating the playlist and having something different from Clara’s more music daytime show where she had to work with the playlist. Had she done more time doing a specialist show later on in the schedule it may have oddly made the moment bigger. Think sometimes what has helped create such a unique sound in presenters and personalities like Annie Mac, Jack and Grimmy for example starting out doing a late show with looser format. Think for the next Jack, Annie and Clara’s of the station do need to have a late live slot and do hope when radio 1 relax is shut down that maybe they change the power down playlist for something with bit more freedom.
    • She is a good broadcaster no doubts but am of the same page with feelings mutual.
