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.

 

Yep, first time off for Arielle since she took over Early Breakfast.

I would be a little surprised to see Jordan back on Drive this year... Just a hunch that he won't present that show again until he gets it permanently (hopefully in January). Of course I could be wrong!

Notable too that Rickie, Melvin and Charlie aren't covering for Clara this week for the same reason (that they are moving to that slot later in the year).

Anyone else feeling that September is quite a long wait for the major schedule changes, and that they should crack on with as many as possible sooner?

There is probably contractual reasons why Septembers chosen plus the fact a number of presenters will be off for 2 weeks or so or more across the summer means September is probably a good time to launch a new schedule.

What changes do you want them to make though?

I kind of like it when the bbc announce changes to the schedule months in advance as it makes it seem like something more significant and something that the marketing and promotion team can build up any drive listeners to. Also think giving RMC and Clara Amfo time before starting their new shows gives them plenty of time with production team to refine trial and do some pre broadcast pilots and think by that time. If would sound like a project ready to broadcast

I think Radio 1 will start to sound fresher as lockdown restrictions lift, guests start to visit presenters, teams can get out of the studio for broadcasts...

I think if the lockdown loosening of restrictions do go as planned probably station may have some ideas to adjust to that to reflect the reverting back to listener habits think it will be refresh when Danny Howard and Sarah Storey start their shows as they may try to do some events around clubs reopening or reflect peiooe going out ago. It would not surprise me if Greg, RMC, Scott, Grimmy may have some sort of interactive special bits as have done with the find Greg and Grim at end of year begining of next.

would be good if do bring more people into the studio do think they should’ve done more with guests down the line through lockdown as enjoyed the all star mixes on Scott’s show with Mel C Daisy May Cooper and Peter Crouch

Yeah, maybe. Still a long wait though.

I think with lockdowns and travel restrictions some are trying to bank their holidays as can see Grim getting a couple weeks of July and August and as people can have either local or international holidays think people have been holding on to them but I think sometimes Grimmy probably is in more of a comfortable position less commitments at the moment and things settled explaining little time of. I wonder who’s to do Annie’s shows in August before Clara and Sarah start but I know Grims definately not going to have time of for Annie’s last week or two think there maybe a cohost around then and some guests giving farewell think over summer weeks could imagine could see like in 2018. Some of the weekend presenters covering daytime. I do think that Jordan possibly should be used as primary breakfast presenter. As things go back to normal think there will be more time of there and then

Let’s not forget, they have all these cover presenters from Christmas and Friday early breakfast, so if Matt & Mollie and Jordan were to move to weekdays temporarily, then one of them could take their slot for a period of time.

Annie Mac is off for a week from 31st May.

Jack Saunders is covering Mon-Thur and Jax Jones is covering Fri.

Jess Iszatt is covering Jack Mon-Wed and Nels Hylton is covering Thur.

Interesting to see Jax Jones covering I think he’s a good cover choice for that one off special as has a good show over on Apple Music

Yea get what you mean now think there’s a chance happening of that happening maybe if Arielle scheduled to do weekend cover in more of middle of the day afternoon or late morning weekends can see their new and up and coming voices will be used more to cover slots like early breakfast and weekend breakfast depend on the state of the who’s booked holidays when think it’s case if it’s short noticed will br one of the current roster of presenters contracted,. But won’t surprise me if Jess Izsatt is presenting Jacks show in August and few of the presenters take hols maybe could see Jordan covering Clara’s slot for a week or two between when the switch of RMC and CA possibly could see Adele Roberts covering RMC evening before JS take it for a one or two week

    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
    • Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.
