Just a thought, but I reckon Charlie may well outlast Rickie and Melvin at Radio 1. Thoughts?

I thought they sounded good together today as a pairing, with Charlie going solo.

Oh I agree completely. Rickie and Melvin seem to be doing lots together without Charlie. Like they not long ago competed on some Reality TV program together. 
I do think perhaps once the world starts to move back to normal, they’ll quietly take Charlie off of evenings and keep her solely on dance anthems. They do sound better apart in my opinion. Charlie sounds more comfortable doing her dance anthems, whilst the lads seem happier on the night shift.

I would of thought if Charlie was going to be taken off she would of already been so they didn't need to have a remote connection.

I suppose do have a long career before Charlie joined them think it will be the case possibly when clubs and festivals open again there maybe more times when it’s just Rickie or Melvin and when may take the odd dance anthems. Think it’s a wonder when Rickie and Melvin are up for a better slot since been over from Kiss for a few years and are quite renowned names could possibly take over drive after Grimmy leaves or replace Matt and Mollie if they get a daytime slot. Think it will be thing could capital dance ever offere  her a more prime time slot but also want to know is if they prepping Sarah Storey for joining the R1 Dance probably if Charlie doesn’t go capital Dance she could have a more specialist dance show. Though I think it would be good if they chucked them to do the three of them do bank holiday breakfast and the odd breakfast cover

Yeah they are good, makes you wonder why they left Kiss for evenings on R1? and before COVID were they destined for bigger things at R1?

Think it could been a matter of more flexible contracts and timing or maybe better money offer maybe the nighttime slot would allow them to easily take up more tv or DJ work without clashing with Kiss FM schedules did find it an odd jump at the time know of course radio 1 is bigger but not to be anywhere in peak daytime was an odd shift and has the flagship show over there at kiss but Ben Cooper at Bauer is atleast making kiss sound bir more complitive with kiss nights and DJs like A track doing stuff

I can’t see Charlie going back to a commercial station. She’s only recently taken over Dance Anthems anyway.

I believe shortly after RMC left Kiss, the big boss there also departed. I believe the 2 are connected. They’d had a good run on Breakfast and probably expected some changes under new management.

Rickie & Melvin have always done more TV together/solo than Charlie anyway. I can’t really see them splitting them up on a permanent R1 basis anytime soon.

Yes can’t see them splitting but don’t have a clue what’s it is going to be like for the foceable think see dance anthems with Charlie running for atleast 3-4 years. Don’t see a major split of them happening for a while see Rickie and Melvin will be working together on radio and in other realms likely for decades to come where ever that work is be as see them having bit longer in rsdio 1 but maybe at most one or two years left in slot but think bout the move all what is offfered and what suits them. But think the evening time slot will last a short longer but think as one of weekend or daytime slots change they may have a more daytime slot

    • I must admit a broad smile to myself when I got in the car just after 1pm today and realised I'd timed it perfectly to avoid Danny! Just listened back to that earlier link, just horrific and what's worse is that Danny doesn't seem to have improved even vaguely since the first show. As Greg20 said, the show is being driven by a producer which makes the mess even less excusable.
    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
