Geeky question about studio allocations


Lee E

Recommended Posts

I've been wondering this for a while - Scotts Twitter prompted me to ask 

So Friday this week he was talking to Mable on the chart and was in 82A 

Later Annie posted an insta story in 82A 

So Did Scott move studios in newsbeat at 545, or did he pre record Mable and do his 4pm show in another studio? because he seems to use 82A for the chart, which prompts my next question

Why do the studios used seem to change at weekends 

Example here 

Weekdays Early breakfast 82D

Breakfast 82A 

Clara 82D 

Scott 82A 

Grimmy 82D

 Annie 82A

Dev 82D 

Jack 82A

 

Weekends 

Breakfast 82D 

Greatest Hits 82A

Dev and alice 82D

Scott/Jam/Life Hacks 82A 

 

However today Mistajam posted a story of a tour of R1 and looked like he was in 82D and Dev and Alice were in 82A which would make todays allocations same as a weekday 

I remember having to do the breakfast show in 82D sometimes and Scott has certainly used 82D on occassion 

 

Hard to tell which are pre records and which aren't where they've had to use the opposite studio to normal

It turns out from the answer Scott does the chart in 82F and they get kicked out of 82A when there is a live lounge on, Clara and Grimmy use 82D normally and they see each other 

So Fridays must be 

Adele 82D 

Matt and Mollie 82F 

Maya 82A 

Dev/Alice 82D 

Scott 82F and Annie 82A 

 

MistaJam may use the same one he does 1Xtra drivetime in on a Saturday maybe and as 7pm Saturday is a 1Xtra take over maybe Target uses the one he uses on a weekday, and the R1 ones dont get used 

 

Out of interest, does anyone know how many Studios were at Yalding House

Cel and Katie are 82F, so I guess MistaJam probably is if Scott is as well on a Friday. Didn’t afternoons use to be 82E on Fridays before the three day weekend? I love this it’s proper geeky chat. Matt and Mollie are pretty much always 82D aren’t they? It’s one of the big ones with the purple walls, rather than blue, and Maya is 82A so it’s gotta be 82D.

Love the geek chat as well and I think by the sounds of them on the podcast Will the producer did too

I am not sure what studio Greg used to do his drive-time show from

I know Grimmy always used to use 82A on breakfast although sometimes 82E or F 

I think Matt and Mollie are 82D I know that's usually Clara, Adele and Grimmy too

    • 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.
