I’m wondering if it’s 5 live with occasional 2? Isn’t her mum up North so would be handy for Salford?

A good point. 

She's done so well to have worked through so much of her cancer battle.

Could well be, and I can see much more potential vacancy at 5Live than 2. Not sure if it's up north that her mum is.

I cant see any vacancies at 5Live at the minute. They said months back that they were to be starting a new series with Gordon Smart. Adele could be staying on at the BBC within the BBC Sport team as she has present coverage of certain marathons and could be quite good to have apart of the Paris team next year.

It says that she will still be heard on BBC Radio. She's on Radio 2 Friday night sitting in for Spoony.

Unless possibly if they had presenter like Fearne Cotton, Angela Griffin or Michelle Visage leave the station and their shows she may be a shoe horn there if they were to focus on other projects.

That said if it’s not much commitments given to them like proposals for Steve Wright’s Serious Jockin’ BBC Sounds playlist after Scott Mills took over his slot and then had Cel Spellman apart of the ‘family’ but barely seen or heard from after. I wonder if some plans could fall flat.

I mean yes, that's a possibility. Adele is such an inspirational lady - I'd listen to a podcast from her.

Wonder if Adele Roberts has been poached for a commercial rival like Heart FM 

I was thinking that, could see her popping up covering on Radio 2 and 5 Live like Scott did and Sara before him but if she gets a job anytime soon it will be Heart or something else commercial. It could be anywhere but Heart have form on recently left Radio 1 people because of Dev being there now. Yasmin Evans from 1Xtra springs to mind too. Wish her luck wherever she is going, even if I know I won't listen.

That's nothing. I remember her on Big Brother ?

Was she on the same one with Jade Goody? I was never into watching people eating toast at 7am on E4's red button. I remember her being on Galaxy mid 2000s pretty well.

on the grid.

You know I just must of missed her. The only ever bit of big brother I ever watched was in 2002. And I was on holiday in Spain, by that point it was down to around 4 so she must have just gone. I remember Jade, Kate and Jonny the fireman but not Adele.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By Marcus17 · Posted

      Right so prediction time. I think “Summer on Radio 1” which is on the schedule for Friday to Sunday 1-4 from June sticks around longer than the other changes in July. I think that lasts until September which is when we get the new weekend afternoon show. I think they’ll want to give Danny longer on air to see if they improve. I can’t see that happening, so my guess is in September they move Sam & Danni to weekend afternoons (at that point they’ll have been on weekend breakfast for a full year), and they bring James Cusack in to do weekend breakfast.

      Danny Beard on weekend afternoons

      If Aled decides to give Danny a full time role, even as part of a duo / trio, it'll be the most disappointing decision of his tenure. The fact Danny is still on air and hasn't been quietly moved on 'due to a change in plan' is bad enough!

      Danny Beard on weekend afternoons

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      I'd say Danny has been given a fair hearing - and hasn't been up to par. You don't want Radio 1 to be a closed shop - but not being able to usually get the Whatsapp number right should be a dealbreaker. Errors happen even to the best DJs at times but if you can't get the Whatsapp number right you really shouldn't have a regular role on the station. But if they really are that desperate to have Danny on the schedule full-time then pair him up with somebody who can actually handle the technical side. You think of all the capable DJs who are in duos and trios and then you have just have a rookie like Danny left solo.  The LGBTQ+ point too I have to say if true as a gay man feels a case of proper discrimination. It's good to have LGBTQ+ representation for sure but the key thing is that the DJ is good at the end of the day and say in 2021 there was loads of LGBTQ+ talent on Radio 1 in Scott, Grimmy and Adele Roberts among others but at the end of the day they were strong DJs entirely there on merit. And even now there's still LGBTQ+ talent on Radio 1 who are there primarily because they're bloody good broadcasters. Danny is not one of them.

      There is a reason you don't know who is doing weekend afternoons yet. The plan is still to see how Danny Beard's trial goes on weekend mornings. Newspaper clippings have demonstrated Aled has been keen to push Danny Beard at the weekend and to give him a fair hearing. The plan looks to be to wait and see whether he improves in the next few weeks. The bosses still want more LBGTQ+ representation on the station.

      I think they should just bring that back as was. It's been nearly 20 years, so do it with a whole bunch of new DJ's.

      I think this year has taught us we know nothing 🙂 Nobody would ever have credibly predicted Jordan leaving and all the changes that followed.   I have another interest outside radio and it is exactly the same - the stuff you never expect to happen is exactly what does.

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
