NathanS 23 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 So Yasser is leaving Asian Network? Any ideas if he's leaving the BBC entirely? He's back on Radio 1 tomorrow on chart duties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemmeRant 3 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Strange he’s leaving Asian Network at the same time he’s been covering a couple of shows on R1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBCAaron 31 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I think Yasser often been a last option selection probably at moment where cover on new schedule and time slots week was bit unstable unless by doing bits of Radio 1 he maybe working of some general contracted time before he leaves. Looking at the new changes over at the Asian Network must show that there’s been some cost cutting and streamlined approach to the schedule.

Ash101 13 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I notice the new Asian Network schedule doesn’t mention Newsbeat & that the 3-6pm show will be debate/news based.. so I wonder if they’re going to reverse the Lockdown news changed with this in October? The only real change that R1 still has is simulcast news at breakfast, I wonder if that’ll change? But Greg is such a pro that to clock starts each half hour aren’t too jarring anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Fan1 27 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Heard about yasser leaving, maybe he’s taking over the chart on Radio 1? Unlikely but would make sense as to why he’s covering and not Katie or one of the Xmas presenters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyK77 6 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Katie is on BBC Radio Manchester this week so she wouldn’t have been free to cover the chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asian Network debate and topical news programming has mainly been in the morning think is good to have some sort of staple on the schedule like Mid morning or later evening but 15:00-18:00 seems bit odd since it’s a drive slot. I know from Wiki that 1 Xtra over a decade ago had a similar thing in the late drive slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
