R1Fan1 27 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 No Early Breakfast tomorrow, R1 Dance instead. How on Earth have they not managed to find a cover presenter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMD_24 37 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Appears to be the same for Friday with no Early Breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan18F1 32 Posted December 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I think that’s really bad that they can’t find presenters for the next 2 days early breakfast really. Just seems like really lazy programming there from management! LemmeRant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMD_24 37 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I think they had Jess Iszatt down to host Early Breakfast originally on Friday and she was covering Future Artists the other day so maybe it's a staffing issue for the Friday.

It’s like when they didn’t cover the Sunday breakfast show a few months ago. The station has never had so many presenters either so it doesn’t make sense.

I doubt whether this was laziness, more likely a last resort. There are several presenters off at the moment due to Covid and other illnesses and it's very likely to be a similar story across production teams too. Taking an off-peak programme off air seems to be to be a reasonable decision in the circumstances. AndyK77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan18F1 32 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Looks like Jordan might be off now until Christmas as well, the BBC Sounds app has updated with just Vick’s picture on Going Home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In normal circumstances that would be a very poor show from the BBC... However, it must be behind the scenes staff related... As there cannot be any chance they can't find ANY presenter to cover any of tomorrow/Friday or next week.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it rather baffling that with the pandemic other stations are able to find the resources to get last minute presenters and stand in within days even with low production resources. Is it somehow bit difficult for a music station like radio 1 I’m surprised theres no one that is available id just start breakfast bit earlier possibly end it earlier to pre pandemic times if was stuck with that dilemma. Do find selecting purely Radio 1 Dance shows is bit of a cop out on Christmas period. Maybe air some Christmas playlists from BBC Sounds or any other BBC Sounds mixes. It seems that since the new schedule for duo and trio pairings have lead to presenting dilemmas LemmeRant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that the timing of the chart has changed... So it's 15 minutes shorter than it'd usually be.. rather than 15 minutes longer (because no Newsbeat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. Although it was listed as finishing at 6 until the past day or two so something's changed. NYE will be the next time we hear Jordan on air next as well. Shame he's not on this week with Vick as it would've likely been an extra fun listen in the run up to Christmas. Hopefully, whatever it is, it's not too serious and he's okay.

Ignore that original comment. I'm looking forward to their show along with the rest of the schedule. Makes a change from the previous years of fill in 'celebrity/popstar takeovers', which is the point I'd tune out. I'll probably be listening most of the day this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBCAaron 31 Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 @nathan15 I’m glad it’s not wall to wall takeover all star specials across Christmas Day but it would’ve been good at 06:00-07:00 or 18:00-19:00 some point of having a crimbo limbo period of festive takeovers for one hour targetted for sounds listening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
