Some good suggestions in the summer schedule. Does anyone know listening figures until 7.30? For adult stations it’s considered prime time, but maybe R1’s target audience wakes up later? 

 

Let’s leave it like this forever:

5-7 Somone new (James Cusack?)

7-10.30 Greg

10.30-12.45 RMC

13-15.30 Dean & Vicky

15.30-17.45 Vick & Jordan

18-20 Jack

20-22 Arielle

I would think 7.30-8 is quite popular, but it definetly isn't like 8-8.30

My predictions for highest listening figures:

EB: 6-6.30am

B: 8-8.30am

RM&C: 12-12.30pm

D&V: 3-3.30pm

V&J: 5-5.30pm

WEEKEND:

WB: 9-9.30am

KT: 11.30am-12pm

M&M: 2-2.30pm

DA: 4-4.30pm

My thoughts on the summer schedule are as follows.

Firstly i think it might be something we have to get used to every summer?

Greg i think deserves a bit of a lay in he does look knackered. I do fear we are in the latter part of his reign. I hope we get him for the rest of 2023 and 2024 though. 

Clara getting all summer off seems really odd and you would assume she will have no leave left after this? I think maybe she wants out? Jack is the real star of the specialist output and will be good to have him in the Zane Lowe ish slot.

The real story of the lie in is Arielle i am a huge fan of hers and she does not belong on Earlies. This could be a taste of things to come?

Sam and Danni on Earlies is a great way to promote there new show especially in the 0700-0730 slot.

Clara like the rest of the DJ’s are free lance so they get paid a contract to do a number of shows. If she doesn’t do them she doesn’t get paid.

I’m surprised that the freelance presenters would still have their wage and salary listed in the annual pay list for BBC stars that the papers report on. That said for Clara Amfo i can imagine with covering special events like the coronation and other events and tv projects in and out of the bbc keep for good income either ways.

I wonder if Clara will depart permanently next? Maybe they’ll give Jack future sounds, then bring back the entertainment show at 8pm with Arielle. Play more newer music during future sounds, it does seem like (especially in the first 45 minutes) they’re playing songs which are on the radio 1 playlist anyway (and it’s even more baffling when this selection includes Beyoncé songs that were released 10 months ago).

Sounds good to me ...

Not sure a small lay  in would help more than 2 weeks off 

Agreed, coming on air half an hour earlier and coming off air half an hour later than usual isn’t that much of a lie-in especially when you still have to practice your usual morning routine for the team working on breakfast. Would think that start in September going back to usual would be more of a drag if they had done a few weeks break for the breakfast team that would’ve been better and come back with some bumper content, one or to new ideas

I’d consider trying Nat O’Leary in the early morning slot in a temporary before a future move.

Assuming when referencing Future Artists may mean sounds I’d possibly consider in the long term commissioning some more ambitious programmes and projects but in the meantime would have.

Radio 1 Future Sounds as 18:00-21:00 extending it to blend mix of the future sounds and his future artists programmes in a mix and trying to focus it on the music that mostly came out of the last month and at stretch last 3 months. Maybe bring back the Radio 1 Review show in it to be go in-depth looking at other albums and EPs out that week. Focus on providing some extended interviews and feature live sessions and mixes. 

Have Arrielle Free do 21:00-23:00 with still focus on playing new music and her choices and curations of her favourite new music and something that could have a dance and electronic influence and having mix of regular co-hosts from the world of comedians to media personalities that fit the stations audience like tv people and such and having mix of entertainment bits.

I’d scrap the power down playlist but have at 23:00-00:00 have

Mon - Lifehacks Late 

Tue - Radio 1 Interviews 

Wed - Artist In Residence 

Thur - Radio 1 Residency

00:00-02:00/02:00-04:00 mix of the stations other specialist music programming. Including airing programmes from Casskid, Sir Spyro from 1Xtra in that slot.

Have to say Jack Saunders hearing him on Future Sounds now sounds rather relaxed and comfortable in the slot. I just hope he doesn’t get passed up on the opportunity. I found Annie Mac was superb presenter of that show. But do feel what people mean about having something of Zane Lowe to him with his energy and enthusiasm and his extensive knowledge of the music. He’s one of those presenters that feels he he knows his stuff and has researched the music fairly well.

      Find Noah Kahan is just busker music. I mean I was pleasantly surprised that Ezra collective were in session for Jack Saunders on his new shoes and he is playing their latest track wouldn’t have thought few years back that at 6pm in the evening jazz music would be played. I hope if can get the green light and launch the 00s/10s station that the focus is on more new music be it pop mainstream and alternative genres on the main 1

      Scott's show is perfect for the office. If Matt and Mol have a podcast I'd listen to that. All the fun without the Gen Z rappers.

      Similar to SZA’s Kill Bill, the word “kill” had been initially cut out of Taylor Swift’s Fortnight. But it seems like they are now playing an unedited version.

      Also hopefully won't get my head bitten off for this but I'd say of the current Radio 1 DJs the one arguably most similar to Scott Mills's latter time on Radio 1 would be Mollie. I'm not saying she's as good as Scott was to be clear but she is that sort of vibe. 'Future Pop' is exactly the sort of music Scott would be championing and you can tell Mollie has the same passion for it that Scott did. There's that Party Anthems link too - a show Matt & Mol do that previously Scott did and they bring a similar energy to how Scott did that makes it a fun listen. Matt & Mollie seem to just have that natural connection with the listeners that Scott & Chris did that you can't manufacture.

      I find at the minute I'm a bit of a nomad when it comes to radio stations. Often the Radio 1 playlist really doesn't appeal to me these days and I did wonder is it just me tiring of new music but then I'll listen to Future Pop and Party Anthems and there's loads of tunes on there that I love and they're excellent listens but just too few of those make it to the playlist. Radio 2 may arguably be more to my taste music wise but also often feels too rooted on the past. Plus much of the content just doesn't appeal to me and verges on the 'mumsy' side. Plus Radio 2's new music can feel very 'middle of the road' - just because I don't enjoy some of the Radio 1 new stuff it doesn't mean I want Take That & Will Young as 'new music'. For me currently if I'm tuning in for radio it'll be Jordan North on Capital Breakfast, on Radio 1 Matt & Mollie, (if Jamie is off)  Going Home and Sam & Danni plus there's also Capital Dance and Mistajam. They all hit the mark for me in a way other shows don't.

      Matt & Mol for me. For those that enjoyed Scott's Radio 1 show, Matt & Mollie are the natural successors (even more so than Scott's Radio 2 show) - two best mates doing a fun show packed full of content For one thing Matt & Mol inherited two of Scott's ex producers in Amy & Helena. Some Matt & Mollie features you could easily imagine Scott doing e.g. Matt vs Mollie and some feel near identical (can see 'Battletracks' taking the old 'Bangers' slot as it feels heavily based on that feature). Also while this may be down to being a weekend show Matt & Mol's show does seem to lean in a more pop direction and seems to deviate from the playlist more than some other shows- which helps as the Radio 1 playlist can be quite marmite and get samey very quickly. Something just doesn't hit the mark for me with Scott on Radio 2. It feels like it's aimed at somebody about a decade older than me and relies heavily on Noughties nostalgia. Scott too I feel works best with somebody else to work off and is missing that fun element he had with Chris and previously Chappers. It's fine but not something I'll go out my way to listen to.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Marcus17 · Posted

      Random idea time: condense all the throwback shows into one three hour show from 10am to 1pm on a Saturday, get Katie Thistleton back to host it (as Charlie does with Dance Anthems on a Saturday), call it “Radio 1’s Bottomless Brunch with Katie Thistleton” and just have 3 hours of throwbacks from across the decades, not just 00s or 10s, just a mix of everything. The occasional 90s anthem, tunes from the early 2020s, just 3 hours of pure feel good

      I think it's great the amount of choice out there right now. I could happily listen to Greg or Jordan in the morning, Going Home or Huw Stephens in the evening, or Scott and Matt and Mollie in afternoons.  Still a few times when I'm channel hopping but maybe that's healthy to check out what's around.  As that research pointed out, Scott is good for minimal distractions. If you want some chaos I dare say it'll be Matt and Mollie offering that.  Plenty of my friends say it's the Radio 1 playlist that puts them off, even if they like the DJs. So Radio 2 is more preferable.

      I quite quickly gave up on Scott’s show on R2 as I realised it wasn’t my kind of vibe. I do listen to the Scott Mills weekly to catch up, because I still think Scott is great, but there is just something missing (for example, he played out some clips recently of the old sleep recording app from the R1 days, and didn’t play ‘go and open the window Garry’ - or if he did, it didn’t make it to the podcast.) I don’t see them changing it now or making it any ‘younger’ than it is.   Matt & Mollie in the afternoon is something that I’m really looking forward to. They are such an interesting and funny listen. It has given me a different dilemma though, as 1pm has been the perfect time for me to catch up on the Capital breakfast show and takes me perfectly to the end of my working day, so now I’ll probably have to forego listening to that and stick with R1 for Matt & Mollie. These shows need podcasts because it’s already giving me fomo.

      Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.

      I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience.

      Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?

      Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different.

      They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.

      Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.
