Is that the first time Arielle has been off this year (excluding bank holidays)? Grimmy hasn't had any weeks off air since Christmas either (apart from the one day covered by Jack Saunders). Hopefully we get a good couple of weeks back to back of Jordan covering soon.

 

Yep, first time off for Arielle since she took over Early Breakfast.

Hello everyone Aled here, Head of Programmes at Radio 1. Thank you for all your passion for Scott,  Chris and Radio 1 - the station’s success relies on fans like yourselves caring about radio and

If she's good I'm willing to change my mind, but until proven otherwise can we refer to Maya Jama within the context of Scott's show as the homewrecker?

I used to work at a radio station (not R1, think smaller!) so I have a bit of an insight into this, although I'm sure it varies. Where I worked, around half of the presenters were staff and half

I would be a little surprised to see Jordan back on Drive this year... Just a hunch that he won't present that show again until he gets it permanently (hopefully in January). Of course I could be wrong!

Notable too that Rickie, Melvin and Charlie aren't covering for Clara this week for the same reason (that they are moving to that slot later in the year).

I’m glad that there’s more cover - hope when Grimmy inevitably has some time off it goes to Jordan.

It's nice to get Jordan on weekdays !

I think Radio 1 will start to sound fresher as lockdown restrictions lift, guests start to visit presenters, teams can get out of the studio for broadcasts...

Anyone else feeling that September is quite a long wait for the major schedule changes, and that they should crack on with as many as possible sooner?

What changes do you want them to make though?

There is probably contractual reasons why Septembers chosen plus the fact a number of presenters will be off for 2 weeks or so or more across the summer means September is probably a good time to launch a new schedule.

I kind of like it when the bbc announce changes to the schedule months in advance as it makes it seem like something more significant and something that the marketing and promotion team can build up any drive listeners to. Also think giving RMC and Clara Amfo time before starting their new shows gives them plenty of time with production team to refine trial and do some pre broadcast pilots and think by that time. If would sound like a project ready to broadcast

I think if the lockdown loosening of restrictions do go as planned probably station may have some ideas to adjust to that to reflect the reverting back to listener habits think it will be refresh when Danny Howard and Sarah Storey start their shows as they may try to do some events around clubs reopening or reflect peiooe going out ago. It would not surprise me if Greg, RMC, Scott, Grimmy may have some sort of interactive special bits as have done with the find Greg and Grim at end of year begining of next.

would be good if do bring more people into the studio do think they should’ve done more with guests down the line through lockdown as enjoyed the all star mixes on Scott’s show with Mel C Daisy May Cooper and Peter Crouch

Yeah, maybe. Still a long wait though.

I think with lockdowns and travel restrictions some are trying to bank their holidays as can see Grim getting a couple weeks of July and August and as people can have either local or international holidays think people have been holding on to them but I think sometimes Grimmy probably is in more of a comfortable position less commitments at the moment and things settled explaining little time of. I wonder who’s to do Annie’s shows in August before Clara and Sarah start but I know Grims definately not going to have time of for Annie’s last week or two think there maybe a cohost around then and some guests giving farewell think over summer weeks could imagine could see like in 2018. Some of the weekend presenters covering daytime. I do think that Jordan possibly should be used as primary breakfast presenter. As things go back to normal think there will be more time of there and then

Let’s not forget, they have all these cover presenters from Christmas and Friday early breakfast, so if Matt & Mollie and Jordan were to move to weekdays temporarily, then one of them could take their slot for a period of time.

Annie Mac is off for a week from 31st May.

Jack Saunders is covering Mon-Thur and Jax Jones is covering Fri.

Jess Iszatt is covering Jack Mon-Wed and Nels Hylton is covering Thur.

Interesting to see Jax Jones covering I think he’s a good cover choice for that one off special as has a good show over on Apple Music

Yea get what you mean now think there’s a chance happening of that happening maybe if Arielle scheduled to do weekend cover in more of middle of the day afternoon or late morning weekends can see their new and up and coming voices will be used more to cover slots like early breakfast and weekend breakfast depend on the state of the who’s booked holidays when think it’s case if it’s short noticed will br one of the current roster of presenters contracted,. But won’t surprise me if Jess Izsatt is presenting Jacks show in August and few of the presenters take hols maybe could see Jordan covering Clara’s slot for a week or two between when the switch of RMC and CA possibly could see Adele Roberts covering RMC evening before JS take it for a one or two week

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      By Lee E · Posted

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.

      I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
