New weekend lineup 2020

Very much enjoyed Adele Roberts on weekend breakfast this morning, her enthusiasm shines through and a great move from early breakfast. 

The new afternoon slot for Matt and Mollie seems to have breathed fresh life into their radio output too. 

And of course, good to have Radio 1 Breakfast on five days a week again...

I liked that Adele’s show just sounded like she moved slots. Didn’t think she suited the anthems section. But then again, I don’t really like anthems as it is. But I’m sad I don’t wake up to Matt and mollie anymore. I used to hate them (as a duo) but I’ve really warmed to them since the pandemic struck. 

Felt nice to wake up to Greg on a Friday. I hope with one extra shift he can bring back some old games or even start something new. 
Also looking forward to hearing Sian’s first show. Haven’t heard her before. Looking at her socials she seems really bubbly. If it goes well.. maybe she could get Annie’s slot in a couple years?

Maybe so, although i can see Annie staying where she needs for as long as they need her to. I can't see the real need to move her off her slot. Jack Saunders may well be odds on to be the one to replace her, should the time come in the next couple of years. It probably won't be long before we hear Sian cover Annie or Jack, the latter will probably be Annie's main stand in now Phil Taggart has gone.

Matt & Mollie have really come into their own over the last few months and I think the move to afternoons will only help strengthen that. Seemed to help Dev & Alice, moving away from Weekend Breakfast. 

I do feel having Greg on 5 days a week & a more music heavy show Saturday/Sunday breakfast is better. Adele is a safe pair of hands, but as others have said it’s probably the ‘way out’ route for her....

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
