Hi all. Please answer this. What have they done to Radio 1? Edith needs a move to weekends, or give her a job on a movie channel. I don't listen for movies, where is the correlation there between music and movies.

Give JK And Joel the job before Scott. Somebody like Vernon or Sara could easily do the early breakfast show, or even Nihal permanently.

Failing that stick Fearne and Reggie on mornings and give weekend breakfast to a more capable DJ.

Totally argee with you about Edith, she never shuts up about movies and hypes everything up to ridiculous proportions. Coxy is terrible as well, he show is just basically Heat magazine in radio form. Wouldn't mind seeing the back of Vernon and Fearne & Reggie as well.

I've grown to like Coxy recently, I would have agreed with you about her being annoying and I couldn't stand her on the breakfast show all those years ago nor when she was on during the afternoons but I have been listening to more of her weekend show as of late.

I don't listen to Edith usually as I tend to be at college then.

well most movies now HAVE songs that end up in the chart in them... :roll:

My question is why NOT have something about movies? or other stuff than JUST music?

I STILL hate Cox-ucker

I agree that Edith's show is slanted too much towards movies but I think that's something that management have encouraged and they can easily reduce the focus on movies. I don't care about what movies are out. I appreciate that some people do, but they seem to have overdone it.

Totally agree about Vernon who's lost touch already and needs to go to work in middle of the road showbiz - like Edith though, she cheers me up lunchtimes when I escape from work for a while, also like Coxy but then I'm a Mum too - don't see how her chat is any worse than Moyles's constant going on about Sophie, football and Longman. Fearne and Reggie? Never actually heard them but saw them on TV, they seemed like Blue Peter Presenters or something.

UM is a nice place

I Edith (though she does tend to talk about movies alot) but I still like her and think her slot is suitble. Sara Cox is ace and should clearly replace Scott if he goes on holiday. JK and Joel kind of annoy me. I think its the fact they are always on together and I always feel that their discussions are so scripted. Chris Moyles can do no wrong and Fearne and Reg are good too. I've got no real thoughts about Vernon.

I really enjoy the radio one lineup throughout the day. The lineup gives something different every show.... If u listen all day then u know ur gonna hear someting different from every presenter pretty much.... u dont just get the same stuff regurgitated all day...

Where would we be if we did'ht have rules....?

I like the daytime line-up. I only really listen to Scott and Chris (REALLY wakes you up in a morning!) but I do like Jo, she plays very good music, and Edith is still lovely (although I did prefer Colin and Edith).

I think It Should be:

Early Breakfast: Jk & Joel

Breakfast: Mills

Morning: Edith Bowman

Afternoon: Vernon Kay

Drivetime:Moyles

That will never happen though

I don't think they should have given Edith/Colin & Edith the 1-4pm slot. It was better 1pm till 3pm, but I don't think I'd want the drivetime slot to start at 3pm.

it used to be 2-4 back in the old days with mark & lard, in 2000 i think. then it went to 1-3, then 1-4. when simon mayo left in 2000/1 it changed everything around.

Yeah, but now the schedule is much more organised than it once was:

2.00am Vicky Marsden

4.00am Radio 1's Early Breakfast Show with Scott Mills

6.30am Sara Cox

9.00am Simon Mayo

12.00pm Jo Whiley's Live Lounge

2.00pm Mark and Lard

4.00pm Chris Moyles

6.00pm Dave Pearce

Thats 8 DAYTIME DJS! Now we only have 5...and I think the schedule is much better for it.

I'm not a fan of Jo Whiley at all, i'd rather not hear her during the day. I tend to listen to a couple of CD's during her slot.

In general I like Edith but as a Radio DJ, not so much :( I prefered when it was Colin & Edith. I like a bit of banter :)

I like the idea of whoever suggested Drivetime from 3, I'd like to listen to Scott from 3 :)

just becuase it is organised it dosent mean that it is better for the viewers. back then there was more variety of dj, and the station didn't seem so based around celebs and films etc. also if you didn't like a certain dj then you wouldn't have to wait as long as you do now for them to go off of the air. except for simon mayo, but i thought he was good anyway so i didn't have a problem with him.

one day i can imagine radio 1 to be imitated on those strongbow adverts where they take the pi*s out of cheesyness and crap ringtones.

on the grid.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      By Lee E · Posted

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
