Potentially doing it permanently for the month?

If it was me id permanently keep Friday earlies with monthly presenting talent talking over as a showcase and a good platform for new talent to have such platform support emerging names think Jess would maybe if they did reduce Dean to Friday and Saturdays maybe having a Sunday morning show playing chill pop and classic chilled anthems but with few fun Entertianment features would be good addition to the schedule and tone of a sunday morning

With some of BBCs new adverts for Hottest Records and 1 Xtra’s new podcast featuring new logos so does the Radio 1s channel section of the iplayer have its new logo. Does anyone else think that very early January that the rebrand of BBC Sounds app and logos come in and presenters will be promoting shiny new logos on the app and new designs but same old content.

Is Arielle off all of December? Or is Jess doing Friday's?

They didn't announce any presenter for December's Friday early breakfast like previous month's, so I assume Jess is doing them in the run up to Christmas. 

On a similar note, I was listening back to Friday's show... This month's host, Alex Mansuroglu is a decent listen if anyone hasn't heard him. Am I right he still presents on Kiss at the weekend?

@NathanS you’re right he does weekday afternoons as well on Kiss Fresh wish from what Ive heard from Kiss I prefer Kiss fresh for the newer song choices. He’s also done stuff for 4music before so think he’s probably a decent broadcaster in the making. Have been enjoying Future Soul with Victoria Young

According to the BBC Sounds description he will only be hosting the last hour of the show.

Guess maybe a signal of how Sian Eleri’s show is pre recorded must’ve been only one able to get into do it out of all the shows Jordan covered even though only for half of it. Am sure this is his first time covering a specialist music programme

He’s covering because Vick and Jack are going on a date.

I’m not too sure how it works for the radio but for TV the next two weeks are confirmed in one go, so we might get up to New Year’s Eve.

Yes on the conversation thread for Christmas and New Year surely would have plenty to talk about then think then after the Christmas and new year assume when BBC Sounds app will be updated with the new imaging. I can’t see it being too different from previous years look to see what is on Radio 1/2 and 6 Music. These days they seem to centre content around what people may want to listen and on the sounds app to have a request take over and different specials would be good

Jack Saunders is in for Clara on Monday 6th December, with Sian Eleri sitting in for Jack.

Also Jess Iszatt is doing early breakfast again on Friday 10th December, so looking likely that it's for the month.

Sian is now in for Clara on Monday 6th December with Jack back on his usual show.

    • 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.
