I got an email from Stereophonics that says "Just to let you know that Stereophonics will be taking over BBC Radio 1 on Monday 7th May between 1pm-2pm..."

So I'm guessing as part of the Big Weekend takeover, different artists who are playing at the Big Weekend will be have their own 'slot'? I was wondering what they'd be doing for 6 hours!

If you're wondering what that fat show that is taking up Monday's output is all about, it's the Big Weekend artists taking control of Radio 1 for the day. No presenter or co-host. Just the artist.

1000-1200 Kaiser Chiefs

1200-1300 Mika

1300-1400 Stereophonics

1400-1500 Beth from The Gossip

1500-1600 Natasha Bedingfield

The Kaiser Chiefs have been quite good so far, turned it on just for background noise, but the first thing I heard was "let's close our ears, we're playing Natasha Bedingfield now".

I was concerned when he started the show with the Scissor Sisters, and kids started cheering.

If The Archers went gay, and appealed to under 25s, this would be the result of it. Mika on Radio 1.

Didn't bother waking up for F & R. Thought the Kaisers were really amusing. Ricky has the Noel G acid sense of humour.

Mika was good, toned down weird accent a bit.

Happy about Coxie for rest of week. Missed her at the weekend. Fearne is no replacement, sorry. She has a face, voice and personality for telly.

Stereophonics doing v well so far. Marvin Gaye! Yes!

No love for the Big Weekend Takeover from The Guardian today -

http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv_and_radio/story/0,,2074313,00.html

The Kaiser Chiefs were slated as "shambolic, complete with errors" and Mika took "the notion of self-promotion rather too far" with his "annoying entourage".

They don't mention any of the other artists, one would presume they switched off. To be fair, so did I.

i had the station on and off yesterday, and everytime we tuned in all i heard was one big weekend. and fearne and whoever were on about burnt toast in the morning.

we switched to radio 2 but that was off it's normal schedule so it was a bit crap, so we had an old judge jules tape on recorded in 2005. worked.

on the grid.

    • I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right! 
    • Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!
    • Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.
    • If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.
    • The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!
    • What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.
    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
