10:30am Dean McCullough

1pm Arielle Free

3:30pm Jack Saunders & Katie Thistleton

6pm Sian Eleri

8pm Jess Iszatt (Nels Hylton Thurs)

XMAS Eve

7am Matt Edmondson

10:30am Dean McCullough

1pm Jack Saunders

Chart- Katie Thistleton

Then Danny, Sarah & Pete

XMAS Day

2pm-6pm Arielle Free or Katie Thistleton

New Years Eve

4pm-6pm: Chart with Katie Thistleton

6pm-10pm Arielle Free

I also predict that Scott will cover Ken on Radio 2 either on the week of the 20-24 or the 27-31 December- that's why I have left him out.

Interesting to see Sian potentially getting some daytime cover. The fact there’s a breakfast best bits seems to look like it’ll be normal music.

It’s also interesting that they’ve not got the Xmas presenters on that Monday. Having Charli XCX on Future Sounds also seems to indicate that they’re doing the Celeb takeover again.

Can’t see that schedule being real either? Why is Best of Breakfast only on for an hour?

As much as I’d love to see a return to that sort of stuff at the end of the year (didn’t Moyles have a whole day of highlights?), it probably won’t happen because of the Christmas intake of presenters?

I'm going to wait to make any firm prediction, but I can't see it being much different to the past couple of years (main presenters finishing week before Christmas, with the 'B team stepping in). Christmas presenters from Boxing Day to NYE/NYD. I think Scott will reveal the Christmas no.1 on Christmas Eve and I'm hopeful he does the Christmas Day breakfast show as is tradition (even if it does fall on a Saturday).

I've enjoyed Jordan doing the New Year's countdown for the past few years but I can see him stepping down from that now he's drivetime host. Dean McCollough or Charlie Hedges would be a good shout for this.

Pre Christmas Presenters intake... I used to enjoy the themed days across the Christmas period (Greatest Hits/Anthems), Best of the Live Lounge, Big Weekend Highlights, Chart of the year, 10 hour takeover etc.

Could be on all week?

Good point. Like I said, I would love for them to do something like that again. Wasn’t it usually NYD for Moyles, something like a “12 hour breakfast” with a different month in every hour?

Feels like Scott & Chris have enough highlights for a day like this too.

It seems like this years festive period is a reduced intake for debut presenters but think that having ‘Best of’ pre packaged content shows are a good idea maybe something that can add few pre recorded links some of the behind the scenes relaxed chats about behind the scenes chat would be good to shoehorn when its more of a relaxed approached to doing radio. I think the all star Christmas things with Charli XCX would be good. Like think having across Radio 1, Radio 1 Xtra and Radio 2 having some comedy entertainment shows for the evenings would be interesting.

Used to like the 10 hour take over having that on Christmas Eve or the 23rd would be good falling in the days before Christmas when people are travelling home to families or doing last minute shopping etc. 

Personal taste never was as keen on the whole Teen awards highlights shows they used to do mainly with audiences deafening noise

Chart of the Year feel should come back and never shouldve been dropped

some highlights of the live music from the livelounge, big weekend, future sounds and Christmas top i of the pops should have space in Schedules. When they did Scott and Chris’s banger special days was good. 

I find for any station the Christmas period is an interesting to see what stuff experiment or come up with to get listeners tuning in. Something i enjoy listening to over the seasons especially in a rest moment or nothing on tv

This is another claim to be the latest Christmas Day schedule. Makin at BBC Tees seems older than I expected so I'm not convinced by the below... 

 

07:00 Kat Cowan

11:00 Scott Makin (apparently pre-recorded from BBC Radio Tees)

14:00 Christmas Anthems with Katie Thistleton (pre-recorded)

15:00 Christmas Eve Afternoon (not known who yet)

18:00 Radio 1 Anthems with Sarah Story

22:00 Christmas Anthems in the mix

Will make a change from wall to wall 'artist takeovers' if it is a recorded Xmas special of their show. Maybe one for directly after the breakfast show?

Especially as Christmas Day is a Saturday as well. Wouldn’t have expected Vick and Jordan to be on at all. 
Apparently the press release is coming out tonight too so we should have some more idea of what is happening over Christmas then!

Christmas Eve I'll go with:

 

 

Early Breakfast Jess Izzatt

Breakfast Show Matt & Mollie

Mid Morning Dean McCollough

Afternoon Katie Thistleton (Christmas Eve is usually wall to wall Christmas songs, so maybe no party anthems)

Christmas Official Chart with Scott Mills

Normal Friday night lineup.

Will keep an eye out for the schedule announcement then, i do think that best of the year or specials of Jordan and Vick and other daytime shows will make for a good change think its better to have artist take over dripped out over festive period to back to back. Noticed that BBC Sounds have already got some of their festive playlists available to download and listen now so think the Christmas highlights are soon know started with tv highlights of who’s on strictly Christmas special

I like the look of that schedule. I assume Scott & Dean are live, with the rest pre recorded. Shame breakfast doesn't start till 8, I used to like waking up and tuning straight in. The Greg James rogue promises programme sounds interesting indeed. It's a running thing on his show. No 'filler' playlists either. Double Scott Mills on Christmas day too.

    • 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.
