So proud and excited for Aled. What do we all reckon will happen with the station going forward as it was hinted there will be exciting changes.

There will be a heavier social media and digital presence that's almost a guarantee. 

The daytime music playlist may be looked into a bit more he's such a big pop music fan so can see it becoming more 80% pop chart hits and 20% Alternative genres. 

The schedule will remain un touched for a while as he would've had a real say over changes in the past year or so. However i would expect anytime now an announcement that Jordan North has got Friday-Sundays 10-1 when Lockdown schedule is over. 

What's everyone's thoughts?

I hope they add some more digital features, like for example they could add a webcam feed from the studios to the Sounds website which would be really cool.

I agree about the Schedule, I hope Jordan gets some more air-time. Regarding the music I'm not really fussed about changing to Pop as it's my preferred style too!

Congrats to Aled!

I don’t think it’ll be just pop as commercial stations will whinge - schedule wise move Grimmy to 7pm either Monday-Thur or Friday.
 

Poss put Scott back on drive or give him breakfast and let Greg have a bit of a sabbatical in the next year or so to enable Scott to leave R1 on a high. Make Friday a more normal weekday schedule at least until 1 or 4pm. Have the chart as a hour show with occasional extended specials e.g. Christmas no1, chart of the year.

I'd like Friday back as a normal schedule definitely. Don't know if Greg taking time off is going to happen. I hope not lol. Scott I think may well go back on Drive and we all saw last week how much Grimmy liked doing the Evening shows!

Really can’t see Greg taking any time off, he’s stated loads it’s his dream job and helps his mental health. I’m sure Jordan will get a permanent slot in the next 6-12 months. Not sure where

I could see Scott going back to drive, but I am not so sure if that would be a backward step?

Let's be real. Scott's phasing out of Radio 1. He's no longer breakfast cover, He's hosting more Radio 2 shows now. Next time someone leaves Radio 2 Scott will likely move into that slot.

I hate to say it but you’re right. Scott is slowly drifting away from the station. It’s sad but he is ogling the same way as Sara Cox and Jo Whiley.

Pleased for Aled at this news. I didn’t know he’d been in charge since before last Christmas, they kept it quiet! Although I’m sure I read something last year about Ben Cooper possibly moving on. Aled has worked his way up the ranks over the years and he deserves this.

I heard Ben Cooper lost out on a popular music role within the BBC and it was awarded to a lady. And then he possibly got the hump with the Beeb and decided to leave.

Aled has been in charge longer, he was head of programes under Cooper since 2017 or so, and he was instrumental in Greg going to breakfast, he has essentially been doing the day to day running of Radio 1 since then and continues to do so today

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      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

      By Lee E · Posted

      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.
