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.

    • It’s not necessarily the fact that Jamie is posh. It’s that the show seems to be really keen to play on it. Within 10 minutes of their first show they were playing voice notes from his Celeb mates. Compare that to Vick and Jordan’s first week in September 2021; their first links were about Jordan’s awkward encounter with his plumber and Vick slapping a roast chicken.    And then on Monday this week, Jamie is sulking (exaggerated sulking admittedly) about something, this ultimately being that another of his celeb mates has cancelled his appearance on their show, and they’re literally reading out texts such as ‘I’m sure this is going to be relatable to the entire population.’
    • That’s a last minute change!
    • Jordan, Greg, they’re down to earth. That’s what makes them resonate so much with listeners.  
    • 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.
