Past or present, Whooooo’s your favourite Radio 1 presenter? Is there anyone you would love to hear back on the airwaves?

For me one of my favourite radio presenters of all time, Quite controversy is Chris Moyles. I’ve always loved the laid back format of his show. In a fictional world, I’d love to see Chris do a nighttime show on Radio 1. 

My favourite radio 1 presenters at the minute are of course the big man himself Scott. Jordon North- So underappticted by the BBC just stuck on a Sunday show. Arielle Free( technically not an official presenter...) Whenever she’s on, it’s great. I really love her   Enthusiasm, she’s full of high energy always. She needs to be singed soon otherwise I’m sure she’ll get poached by Global or Bauer for our show! Greg James- He’s got a lot better after his holdiay. His breakfast show is one of the few good ones left in my opinion

Scott and Chris obvs, but yes I agree Chris Moyles was fantastic. I’d like to hear Matt Edmondson go back to his old late night slot with the risky themes - his late night interview with Ross Kemp was hilarious!  Also, the big man Charlie Sloth. Shame he lost it at those awards. I didn’t listen to his show but he was funny when he came on Scots show: You’re fattest, no, your fattest!!

Current I would have to say Dev and Alice together. They work so well off each other and their show often sounds quite different to anything you’d hear anywhere else. 

In the past I would also have to say Moyles although I only starting to listen to R1 about a year before he left so I didn’t get the ‘golden years’ of him!

Scott of course and Chris has revitalized his show

Moyles from yesteryear - I would also say Sara as well in her later years at R1

Currently Dev and Alice are upping their game and I really like the new three from Kiss they've fitted in really well and I'd take a punt that it won't be too long until they appear on daytime

Suprised by the fact non's mentioned the big man himself Zane Lowe. His show when i listened was always great. Mind you his format on beats 1 is a lot more new music heavy.

I picked up Radio 1 about 2005-2006 time. Then found it again years later in 2017- Around the time of their 50th birthday celebration.

Dev and Alice are great together. Its not fake, it seems they generally get on and they have the same sense of humour which boosts the show greatly

Has anyone noticed recently how Scott Mills is more open on air about his sexuality? For years he used to say that he “doesn’t have much luck with the ladies.” But now now he sometimes mentions his boyfriend and I think it’s great how he doesn’t hold back like has has done over the years. Everyone knows Scott is gay and when he revealed it many years ago, it didn’t change a thing for him working at Radio 1.

Good on him. ?

Hadn’t noticed it, but now you say it, he has started being more open about his life.  As you say, good on him ?.

I suppose there’s quite a few LGBT ?️‍? djs on radio 1 now like Grimmy and Adele Roberts as well, all on daytime! So that could be more comforting to Scott?

Maybe, although I do wonder if it’s more a case of everyone being more open about these things in 2019, compared to when Scott started in the late 90s, and I think he feels much more comfortable and himself on air these days.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By NathanS · Posted

      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

      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
