Radio 1 Schedule Changes

I'm intrigued to see how the final week of August/start of September will be covered, will they extend the morning and drivetime shows like they did last year when Grimmy left? Dean (and Vicky) and Katie will all be starting their new shows the following week so unless it's a chance to give some of the newer presenters a shot at covering a prominent slot or Matt & Mollie are about that week?

I don’t think they will extended shows as rmc arnt moving althoighn will just be malvin and Ricky for a few months I would think maybe arrile will do Scott’s show for that week 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Think possibility Matt Edmonson could end up doing the Afternoon weekend slot with Mollie have Arrielle or someone like James Cusack, Matty Chaibi or Rakeem Omar at weekends

Emil Franchi is in for Matt & Mollie on Friday 29th July.

Mollie is solo on Saturday 30th & Sunday 31st July.

That’s interesting, as July is his Early Breakfast month? Is that the first time someone’s covered a show (not EB) during their month?

If Emil is hosting the afternoon show then will he be double shifting? Interesting to see.

There is only one week between Scott finishing and Dean and Vicky starting so they’ll probably just put Katie on. 

Nope - Ben Coley is hosting Early Breakfast and he’s the August Friday presenter so just starting early. They seem to do everything possible now to avoid people double shifting which I think is definitely a good thing

I believe RMC are doing 10.30-14.00 and Vick & Jordan are doing 14.00-17.45 that week.

I wonder why they are doing that again 

 

Saves getting someone to cover - but IMO would make sense for someone to "cover" the 1-330 show for the gap week

While on that - how long between Scott finising R1 and starting R2

I would think 3rd October just guessing though 

Suppose that gives him 2 / 3 weeks off after finishing R1 - suspect there will be magazine and TV interviews he will be doing as well as it is a high profile departure (I would say higher profile than when Grimmy and Annie left and when Grimmy and Greg swapped - Maybe as high as when Moyles left?) then a couple of weeks "moving in" at R2, meeting his team and getting pilot shows done? suspect Scott hasn't done a Pilot show for some time as when he took the chart over he had previously covered it so knew the format, and when he moved from Drive to lunch is was a copy/paste of the drive show but at a different time with more music.

Bit gutted Scott and Chris arnt on breakfast for the last time before they leave I wonder if going forward dean and Vicky will cover breakfast 

I can't see why they wouldn't still use Matt & Mollie on breakfast. It doesn't really make sense for them to come off their own show and travel all the way down to London.

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
