Jack Saunders and Katie Thistleton are in for Jordan 27th-29th August, live from Reading Festival.

Arielle is in for Matt & Mollie on Friday 27th August.

James Cusack is in for Adele on 28th and 29th August.

DJ Target and Kenny Allstar are live from Reading 19.00-23.00 on Saturday 28th August.

There's another Reading show 16.00-19.00 on Sunday 29th August, replacing Life Hacks and First Look - presenter(s) TBC for that one.

Looks like they have put back Life Hacks for the 29th with Sam and Danni listed to do it. Also it's just Matt solo on the 28th and 29th.

Also, Vick has said she isn’t going to be on Life Hacks for 3 weeks. We know Katie is doing it solo next week so she probably is again in two weeks.

Jamie & Spencer off of Made In Chelsea? I spoke to soon about Radio 1 not relying on tv personalities lol (i know they host a Radio 1 produced podcast, so presumably how that came about). You can tell we're in the middle of summer and inbetween a major schedule changes.

Oh, Yasser will be telling me the song number one on 21st birthday. I think with Victoria Jane’s future Soul it’s something that could be repeated on Radio 1 Xtra or least promoted there R1X and 6M trailer. Think more cross network promotion would be good like in final links sometimes if finished Chillest show recommend Morning mix or Radio 2 unwind etc. Dean will be interesting to see what features him and his production team have come up with hopefully on drag day there’s a taster. It’s like I hope Clara has some big hottest records and guests to launch the new future sounds show. I mean I wonder if by next week trailers snd promo bits start popping up for the new line up

I am very interested to see how this pans out now Radio 1's "Supply Teacher" is no longer "supply" 

Arielle I expect will become the new "supply" like Greg was on earlies, cover the other daytime slots maybe 

RMC can self Cover unless all three are off same with Jordan and Vick so I'd imagine the rest of daytime will be split between Katie and Arielle

I’d be shocked if RMC & Vick and Jordan are off together for more than a few weeks a year. They’ll surely just cover themselves by dropping down to a duo/solo.

Matt & Mollie have covered for Scott as well as Breakfast this year, so maybe we’ll see that happen?

Can imagine Matt & Mollie maybe Scott’s with also primary Greg cover

Think secondary cover:

Dean McCullough 

Katie Thistleton 

Arielle Free

do find the duos and trios are going to be bit of an end of the sort of supply presenter that’s the Cheif deputy for most cover 

We had Dev, Jordan, Cel Spellman, Arrielle, Adele and if really short Phil Taggart or Huw Stephens feel with the build of plentiful teams presenting shows and end of the solo shows this is rarity but it seems like that with having beta presenters it’s like seems like there won’t be times where presenters covering several shows in a week.

As for lifehacks, some of specialist music shows, earlies and Weekend Breakfast it’s the beta presenters that interms of cover presenters think within months over the next year could see newer presenters working well covering more prime slots. Like when built Arrielle and Jordan up.

Think atleast with the broad range of cover presenters that aren’t on a permanent position it’s atleast suggests that when ever the next changes happens that they will be ready for the shows they will present

Interesting James Cusack is covering Adele this weekend because she's presenting 5Live Breakfast instead

Also what is funny is on R5L you have Adele followed by Scott which has been the case all week on R1

    • 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.
