I’m liking the fact that Sam and Danni now have weekend breakfast but at the expense of Adele who is leaving

Yes I assumed they were more likely to get early breakfast, but it's great they're joining the family permanently. Gutted for Adele - but I trust she's got something in the pipeline.

I remember Aled saying he wasn't a fan of Radio 1 being broken up and run elsewhere, but seems Cardiff is becoming an important base for R1 and R2.

I suppose with Radio 2 moving out of Wogan House in the next few years, their remaining London based shows will make use of the studio space on the 8th floor.

Anyone know how old Sam and Danni are trying to work who the youngest is at Radio 1 nowadays

when they did the Christmas takeover of December 2021 Danni was 23 whilst sam was 22 if that helps

So far just loads of shout outs and voice notes i am excited for what features they have

I think its a hard job making features for the weekend breakfast show as don’t think theres been any big features I felt both Matt & Mollie and Dev & Alice were using ideas that they used elsewhere in the schedule and Dev’s time on the slot felt like he was doing pass the time car games that he could just use when ever he’s covering. It feels much of a filler slot in the station less in your face content heavy breakfast show than week-days. I think and do hope they have the chance of making it something that is the first since Nick Grimshaw has quality and content to lead to a promotion up the station. I think where as with Aled there has been some big poaches from commercial rivals like Jack Saunders, Vick Hope, Rickie, Melvin and Charlie to Vicky Hawkesworth. Think the next age and era of who fills what ever gaps that need filling come up more organically.

I liked the show. It will no doubt take them time to settle into the show, the features will come in time. I wonder who comes up with them if its them or the producers. 

In the way of features, I've mentioned before that James cusack always has very strong and funny features and more than anything they are original like the hiss off game he did. We laughed at that at work. He's also a very likeable guy and gives off that mate feel like sam and danni do. Pretty easy for Aled to expand his show into a regular for radio 1

      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.

      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
