Radio 1 Schedule Changes

The pre Newsbeat 'coming up' promo just mentioned that Vick & Katie are in for Matt & Mollie this afternoon. Matt & Mollie are still listed on the schedule so must be a last minute change. Although, Vick is currently off her normal show so whether that promo was slotted in error or not... We'll find out in a bit..

Edit: Matt & Mollie are on as usual so the incorrect promo was slotted in by mistake.

Deb Grant is in for Arielle next Tuesday, 15th February.

That's quite an interesting one. She's usually on Jazz FM, and has done/does work for another Bauer brand, Scala (classical station).. although she's been doing a lot of cover work for 6 music. I don't recall her popping up on Radio 1 before, although I'm happy to stand corrected. That's quite a versatile collection of stations to work across. 

It's not often they parachute in DJ's who've not been on before to cover 'daytime' shows. In the case of early breakfast, we've seen previous Christmas presenters cover (more than often Sam & Danni, or that week's Friday presenter).

@Dan18F1and @LemmeRantmust’ve been technical hiccup error as she tends to be on Scala and Jazz and Scala started early breakfast cover in the period between Shawn Keavney leaving and Craig Charles starting on early breakfast cover as Chris taken the reigns of his afternoon slot in the interim. When she went under her DJ pseudonym Anne Frankenstein that she tend to used when clubbing and mixing now actual name for radio.

Chris Hawkins is also starting to pop up presenting the after midnight Radio 2 slot when OJ Borg is off. Though would feel Adele Roberts in future slot on Radio 2 would be a fitting contender to cover or present

I’m pretty sure Adele covered on Radio 2 last year. Even if she wouldn’t move to Radio 2, if Radio 1 ever introduced an overnight live show I’d definitely give it to her.

 

She covered Trevor Nelson one night last year (I think it was during the summer when she was covering the extended mid morning slot on Radio 1 as well so she was on 1 and 2 in the same day) too.

Yes she did at quite short notice as well - I reckon using people like her and Scott to double shift is a cost saving thing

 Not sure how it saves costs? Presenters get paid an amount for doing so many shows per year. Anymore than that they get paid extra 

Definitely. I can imagine any Radio 2 cover work comes at a cost per show agreement, instead of any blanket yearly amount. There’s no way it’d save money. You’d surely command a higher price to work double in a day then a lower one?

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
