Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

As Annie Macmanus leaves Radio 1, do you think she’s moving to another station? 6 Music reshuffle? Commercial ? Interested to know.

I'd never say never about anything. Commercial radio have some big bucks, and dance music is in right now.

If it happens quickly, then we'll know the 'more time writing and with my children' was the polite cover-story.  Graham Norton always liked to joke that he was 'too lazy' to do more than one day a week at R2 .. right up to the moment when he was offered two days on Virgin.

Think she could definatley end somewhere within a year and a half I’d think who knows I’d have done as 6 Music when she leaves interesting that commercial doesn’t have really a prominent multi genre specialist music station like BBC does with 6M and Radio 1 specialist shows. I’m suprised that ther never has been a spin of of radio X more multi genre and playing new and eclectic music.

interesting where she ends up as it would be very suprising if any offers hasn’t been made to get her presenting on a new station or a commercial one

I’d bet good money on it.

Honestly think we may find a playlist / show curated by Annie appearing on one of the streaming services but doubt she will go to anyone commercial.

I think if she was going to any other BBC station they would have happely announced that on Radio 1/Press Release.

I agree, don’t think there is anything commercial that really fits her show but can definitely see her at a streaming service as a music curator (maybe something like Phil Taggart does on Spotify) or even a specialist podcast or something.

I mean Phil still in the BBC now over radio ulster doing house party show. His spotify thing is an independent podcast from Spotify and is also through patreon and uploads to Spotify because of how it’s is easy to create radio like podcasts with their tools of anchor. I still think that Global and Bauer could do a multi genre music specialist station if it wanted to rival six music bit more
