Fantasy Christmas Schedule 2018

Recommended Posts

Almost time people it's creeping up and every year when I purchase my Radio Times Christmas mega mag (only time I ever by a tv mag) I always check who's on R1 over telly instead. 

So this year has the potential to be quite different as for some reason I feel Scott is about to make the switch to R2 with the Evans situation. So it could look as follows:

Christmas Eve

4-6.30 Adele

6.30-10 Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James Live

10-1 Clara Amfo

1-4 Matt and Mollie 

4-7 Dev and Alice

Christmas Day

4-6 Adele Live

6-10 Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James Live Please I hope he gets it back he loved doing this show a few years back. 

10-7 Pre recorded stuff normally Artist Takeover? 

7-10 Radio 1 Movie Show With Ali Plumb looking back at 2018. 

Boxing Day

4-6.30 Adele 

6.30-10 Jordan

10-1 Clara on tape

1-4 Matt and Mollie maybe live?

4-7 Dev and Alice again maybe live? 

7-10 Movies with Ali Plumb looking forward to 2019.

Thursday 28th

Same as before only difference being 7-10 will be Annie Mac highlights.

Friday 29th 

6-10 either Katie & Cel or Will &Ariel

10-1 Maya Jama

1-4 Jordan 

4-7 Chart Of The Year with Scott

Saturday and Sunday only difference being 4-7 Dance Anthems on the Sat Life Hacks on the Sunday

New Year's Eve 

4-6.30 Will Best

6.30-10 Jordan

10-1 Nope sorry not sure here?

1-4 Matt and Mollie 

4-7 Dev

7-1 Jordan's New Year's Eve BANGERS this was great last year.

New Year's Day 

4-6.30 Will Best 

6.30-10 Jordan 

10-1 It's still open for debate

1-4 Arielle Free

4-7 Dev.

WHAT do you lovely lot reckon?

Hopefully we'll see the return of Greg's Christmas Day breakfast show - that was always something I looked forward to. I reckon we'll be hearing a lot of Jordan North again, Scott on breakfast for at least some of the time and maybe a bit of Dev and Jack Saunders. I doubt Alice would agree to work over the Christmas period though. Or Maya Jama. Maybe Molly King would though - that would be interesting. Arielle Free will probably pop up a fair amount, and maybe Will Best as well. I'd like to see someone from commercial radio get a shot at doing some early breakfast cover over the festivities - I'm a big fan of James Hall and I think Radio 1 would be fools not to sign him up. But that's a long shot.

I agree James Hall would be a good signing! I would love to see Jack Saunders on daytimes on the week between Xmas and New Year. I'm not that keen on Will Best but love Arielle Free and also enjoy Luke Franks so fingers crossed he covers again this year.

Also agree re. James hall, just listened to a bit of his capital shows from last week, and  he’s really good at getting his personality through despite the short links

Looking at the calendar, Christmas Eve and Day falls on a Monday/Tuesday so I can see it being Scott on Breakfast again for that week. I can see Will Best and ArIelle Free being used as cover on weekends, maybe Mollie King on her own and Katie & Cel doing solo covers and maybe some double shifts as well. Since New Years Eve/Day falls on the Monday/Tuesday I can't see a normal schedule return until the following week.

So for Christmas Eve I can see it being:

4-6:30am:  Arlee Free

6:30-10am:  Jordan North

10-1pm:  Mollie King (Would be good to try her out solo)

1pm-7pm: Scott & Chris Bangers (Pre-Recorded)

I can't see them splitting Matt & Mollie up. I think they will both be on together quite a bit I we Christmas but not separately. 

I'll probably be wrong though!

A few things that may happen. 

Firstly Greg has worked flat out since he started other than the Monday off for his wedding which probably means he will finish for the year on the 20th. (I hope I'm wrong)

Secondly with Dev moving across to weekend afternoon's with Alice I can see him covering over the festive period but not the same amount we usually see and not breakfast that will go to the likes of Jordan. 

Also Matt and Mollie will be on a lot don't think they will do Mollie on her own just yet?

One over was it my imagination or was Jordan live 4-7 Christmas Day last year?

So the first few point she of interest have been revealed in relation to Christmas from the BBCs Christmas Radio Highlights press pack. These are:

• Scott Mills will be hosting the Christmas Official Chart on Friday 21st (not unexpected)

• There will be a Ten Hour Takeover on Christmas Eve hosted by Scott and Chris (6:30 - 10), Clara Amfo (10 - 1), Arielle Free (1 - 4) and Jordan North (4 - 7). Surprised to see that Clara seems to be working over the Xmas period.

• Scott Mills will be Live on Christmas Day (6:30 - 10) as well as Jordan North (4-7). Annie Mac, The 8th and Jack Saunders Christmas specials follow this. Seems to be same schedule as last year? 

• Boxing Day will have the best Live Lounge replays all day. 

• Friday 28th will have the chart of the year from 1 - 6. This will be hosted by Alice and Dev (1-4) and Scott Mills (4-6)

• On New Years Eve, Arielle Free will be hosting from 5 - 9 and then Jordan North will be taking over. 

From this, I’m guessing that both Arielle and Jordan will be working a lot over Christmas. Also surprised that Alice and Clara are working as they normally take Christmas off!

    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore. 
    • Maia Beth will be presenting the Radio 1 Happy shows from the 27th April replacing Katie.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ydkr
    • Vick and Jordan together on Insta (with Ariel’s) in Ibiza. You do imagine Jordan’s ex colleagues have a very different attitude to him than management. Comments on Help! And very subtle comments on Capital Breakfast suggest Jordan was frustrated with Radio 1 / BBC management.  
    • I can name quite a few people on this forum who would be better presenters than Danny.
    • His NYE shows were very good. Only thing I would say is he was shackled down slightly there. During his peak he played some great trance stuff in the late 90s and early 00s. So if he were to do a regular show that would have to feature more. Aside from I'd love to see him back.
