Arielle Free joining to present Weekend Early Breakfast; Friday 4am - 6am, Saturday & Sunday 5am - 7am
Mollie King hosting Best New Pop; Friday 6am - 6.30am
Weekend Breakfast with Matt & Mollie; Friday 6.30am - 10am, Saturday & Sunday 7am - 10am
Radio 1's Wind Down; Saturday 4am-5am

Radio 1's Chillout Anthems; Sunday 4am-5am

Yet again we see more new talent introduced without seeing the departure of any current presenter on the station. How long do we think until a big name is dropped from the weekday schedule to make way for a new show (presumably) for some of the current weekend line-up?

Wow, when you put it like that you can see how much of a mess it is! Practically no consistency. They should have moved the weekday breakfast start time to 6 and kept the weekend breakfast start time as it was. Arielle deserved Friday early breakfast but if they insisted on making a weekend early breakfast show too then surely 1 hour (5-6) would've sufficed given that we didn't actually need one anyway!

Either way, I'm pleased for Arielle and holding onto the thought that they've passed Jordan up on this again because he'll be getting a regular weekday show soon enough

Well done to Arielle. She deserves it. I reckon R1 have more announcements on the way. Perhaps Jordon has a new show. Also feels like Adele’s going to be binned off daytime soon. Feel like Clara’s  next to go as well...

I think you could be right, although i actually think Adele is more talented and more listenable than Clara.

I think Jordan should take over drivetime.

Any truth in the rumour that Mike Duce is taking over the drivetime show in September? I don't get why they swapped Grimmy and Greg when they already did that in 2004 between Chris Moyles and Sara Cox.

I haven’t heard this rumour anywhere other than on here, source?

Can't remember where I heard it now.

 

Anyway, I think if they were going to keep Grimmy on Radio 1, they should have kept him on breakfast. I believe that he was only swapped with Greg specifically to see him there until the end of his contract and if he's still there this time next year I'll be very surprised. I think Matt and Mollie, or Jordan North, should get the drivetime show now.

None of this is very dynamic, they need something exciting to give drivetime a kick up the arse, Jordan is a solid music jock, Matt and Mollie are very commercial radio, not to mention off target in terms of style.  I think Greg’s doing pretty well, good stopgap for breakfast, Nick I would imagine is a very temp fix indeed on drive.

How long is a temporary fix though? He’s been on it nearly a year now. I guess time will tell with his contract which I’m sure I’ve seen on here somewhere ends soon?

I’ve always assumed it was contractual, or just until they have some new talent ready to take over.

He was probably on a 2-3 year contract with the BBC. So when that runs out. I assume that’s when he’ll go!

I'm 99% sure I read somewhere that his contract ends in 2020, but if they're doing Hide & Seek again next summer then that means one of three things

1. His contract runs out at the END of 2020
2. He'll get moved to a smaller show (swap with Jordan North possible? Who knows)
3. His contract has been renewed

I'm really happy for Arielle but still find the "Friday is weekend" thing confusing, now more than ever. Just have 3 different schedules for weekdays, Friday and weekends, easy as that.

I wonder if the changes to the start time of ‘Weekend Breakfast’ will mean we’ll see a shake up to features and content in the show?

For example, they open the lines for “Pop Luck” about 6:50 and play it about 7:15.

I think the show is sounding quite stale already, so could probably do with it?

Listened to all 3 of Arielle’s shows this weekend on catch up and I thought it sounded good. It was similar format wise to Weekday early breakfast but I suppose there is only so much that you can do at 5am. 

I thought Arielle had loads of energy which is needed for that show and from what she was saying it sounds as if it’s a year long ‘experiment’ to see if it works having a live show at that time. 

Anyway, I enjoyed it and it would be nice listening to it if I’m ever up that early. Has anyone else had a chance to listen to it?

      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

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By NathanS · Posted

      -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
