It seems that this week(wc 7 June)

That Arielle and Grimmy are co hosting with each other all week. With Danni and Sam in for Arielle for the week. 

Arielle is down to do both early breakfast and drive for the rest of the week. She was also down for a day off today and I’m sure Grimmy said he was isolating until yesterday, so it may be a mistake, but we’ll see.

Feel Jamz Supernova made for an excellent replacement and brings something new turnover to and where risk work and moving with it’s audience .

Each to their own. She's not for me - not at that time-slot, at any rate. I now give Matt & Mollie an hour at 1pm, then Paul Gambaccini an hour at 2pm, on R2 ...

That’s fair assume different in playlists and music tastes of what played on shows differences in preferences least like with Jamz show provides bit more of verity and something different to other rivals. Guess is it more of the playlist or presenter. Guess you’re more of a Radio 2 listener these days

Not particularly. I've always listened to a mixture, since I was a kid. Never really understood why there isn't more 'channel hopping', like there is with TV.  The 50th birthday of R1 did re-kindle my innate love for that station though ...

I also think age brackets are very assumptive in a time when the generation boundaries are blurring.  I am outside Radio 1's stated target audience but I find Radio 1's music and humour much more for me than what is offered elsewhere.  If you are an older listener there really is nowhere playing new music unless you are into the 6 Music style of new music and not the broader view of new music found on Radio 1.  As I said elsewhere, Radio 1 actually has a great line-up of warm presenters at the moment.  As much as I am not a huge fan of Grimmy these days, I think him replacing Moyles at Breakfast really improved the tone of the station for the better. I know Moyles was very popular with many, but his abrasive style and lack of music also drove many away from the station.  I know he was a net-gainer for the station before anybody points out his great listening figures but just saying as much as he pulled in listeners, he also very much pushed others away.

 Agree on that I’m more of a station hopper these days depends on mood or what want to listen to. Did find the 50th stuff was good some of the best live lounges and enjoyed the greatest hits show

I think with Moyles some of his controversial statements at the end of his tenure didn’t match the values young people think expected. Think there’s pros and cons of this generation fusion across different stations. I do find 6 Music daytime and evenings is trying to appeal for a younger audience Gid Coe, Mark Riley, Radcliffe and Maconie on weekends provides for older listener. Find for older listeners Virgin, GHR, Boom and Gold, Magic Absolute 60s,Classic Rock trying to go for that older audience but with little distinct sounds feel there’s to sides to it as do feel it is something to not try to be too exclusionary as Radio 2, LBC, Radio 6 and Radio 4 trying to sound for a younger audience (Rad5) also

R1 is splitting frequencies between 20.00 and 22.00 on Friday 18th June.  Danny will be on FM and Arielle will be on DAB - it's for England v Scotland at Euro 2020.

Will you be able to chose what you listen to on sounds? Is it going to be the actual match or just the normal show with some reactions.

EDIT: Arielle will be on Radio 1 Dance.

Appears they are using R1 Dance for the Scotland opt-out, with Danny on R1

I assume the format will be similar to Rock and Roll Football on Absolute, with match updates between the usual music

From Monday 5th July, there are going to be anthems every day from 10am to 11am.

Think they did it last year as a replacement for the summer mixes. Noticed also gone daily with the happy hour sometimes would be cool to have themes ones. Think may subscribe to them again as stuff like the shiney happy playlist on Radio 2 the Happy Hour do provide good moodboost

Re. Friday Early Breakfast - 2 of the presenters have swapped months.  So Robyn Richford is now doing July and Darcy Kelly is doing September.  Darcy lives in Jersey and can't travel under the current restrictions without quarantining.

Some more changes:

Clara is taking some more time off this week and next - Adele is covering every day except Thursday 24th June which Arielle is covering, with Sam & Danni covering early breakfast.

Kenny Allstar is in for DJ Target on Saturday 3rd July.

Hopefully we get a epic big name live lounge on Clara's final show/week. She's been a good strong music DJ in that slot, keeping it consistent and she is the best fit for Future Sounds at this stage (that'll probably be where Jack Saunders ends up eventually though).

Same goes for Annie. I'm hoping we get a big send off show for Annie. She's a big figure in the music industry as well as on the radio. For me, it'll be one of those 'end of an era' things that come round every so often. Zane Lowe was probably the last person to leave who left a big hole in a lot of listeners, and before that probably Moyles (of course that's subjective)

Yes Lowe was a massive departure seemed like a lot of musicians were sharing tribute messages even though just going to work elsewhere to be fair. Liked him on Radio 1 but made best call to go to Apple Music kind of really built something special there. I think people from the music industry will probably do plenty of tweets messages etc. Can imagine the rules permit there would likely to be some sort of on air sort of party show with Grimmy and few other Radio 1 presenters and maybe some artists like Wolf Alice since they were the first artist to be played on her weekday show Giant Peach. To be specific. But could imagine would be good to see them Diplo, Clara Amfo, Danny Howard, Pete Tong, Calvin Harris, Billie Eilish, Bastille etc dropping in or leaving something to play out on last week.

Would be good if for Clara on her last week of Mid morning show they did a whole show or a week playing some of the Best live lounges from her era.

I would like to see Jack Saunders end up there one day of course, it’s like did hope for something like that for Taggart and Stephens. Feel Clara will have a minimum of three years. I think she’d be great in years to come at doing Jo Whileys show when she isn’t going that slot of course years to come till then

    • 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!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • 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 
    • 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.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • 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.
    • 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
