Not to side-track from Annie, who achieved incredible things in her lifetime at Radio 1, and will be hugely missed and remembered for her amazing work and enthusiasm for life - But, I had the joy

So sad to hear of the death of a national treasure and the greatest broadcaster the station a true achievement to have such a longevity of a career at radio 1 being at the forefront of new music for over fifty years. I can assume all the presenters who have been and gone over the past fifty years count Annie as an inspiration. The First Lady who will be remembered for generations to come. Seems rather timely and fitting that Annie Nightingales 6 Music series is being re-played on Radio 6 Music midnight Monday. No feels a timely tribute.

Such a shame. A massive trailblazer in the industry. They're paying tribute to her on Radio 1 now. 

Very nice words and it is good that the tone has remained upbeat as that's exactly what she would have wanted.

It would be nice if they did a tribute show in the next week.

Hopefully. I imagine Radio 2 may well dig deep into the archive as well and air something in tribute. Lovely tribute from Scott on his show just as well.

What amazes me is how little she did for Radio 2 compared to Radio 1. She was one where she wasn't ever going to be pushed into moving there.

I think she always wanted to played the music she loved, which she did. I admired hips she defied her age and always kept exploring new music in ways that you rarely see of elder broadcasters. Think its to say that if you enjoy what you do, and you good at it keep on doing it and that should mean no matter what age you are if you like music no matter of what genre or what era play it and that’s what she did. It’s with respect of the stations controllers that they never looked at her age and age of presenters as a barrier to bringing new music to generations younger than they are. It would’ve been a shame if she wasn’t allowed to continue when she was still at her finest.

I know they before the announcement of her death weeks previously had scheduled her series of programmes that ran on 6 Music around the 50th anniversary of Radio 1 on midnight Monday on 6 Music overnight. Quite possibly they maybe on demand early. Can imagine there will be varying tribute programming with some of the best mixes, interviews and moments across the BBC over coming days.

Very sad news. I remeber being i think around 16yrs of age totally obsessed with Radio 1 and would wake up during the night just to hear her shows because i knew how important she was to the station. Years later worked nights and it became a real treat to have her on. Beautiful tribute from Matt and Mollie earlier.

I remember when Peel died in 2004. I think they put Rob Da Bank onto his slot for a while, it was nothing to say 'here's a replacement'. Was just to basically fill the two hours really and see how it went.

on the grid.

Respectably, I expect it won’t be something the station would be thinking about right now.

They can easily keep the slot as it has been lately for a while without saying much.

It would be nice to keep the spirit of Annie by placing an innovative up and coming female DJ in that slot.

      Good point - they could do best of Greg, Live Lounge, Matt and Mollie (not sure there were any best bits of Dean and Vicky) and Going Home. Of course if Going Home was included they'd have to start after Jordan left 😛

      I’m pretty sure they’ve already said it will be late January. Apparently Trevor let slip at some point that his show was starting at the end of Jan so I’m guessing all the changes will take place on January 27th?

      I see Gaby is covering breakfast so I assume she is covering the following week as well and Scott starts on like the 6th or something? do you remember when Zoe started it was like the 2nd or 3rd of Jan 2019 wasn't it?

      Steffan Powell (former Radio 1 Newsbeat presenter/newsreader) is sitting in for Owain Wynn Evans on New Year's Day/2nd/3rd January. A few other schedule changes going into December: Shaun Keaveny in for Liza Tarbuck tonight (30th November) Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine on Tuesday 3rd December Jason Mohammed in for Owain on Friday 6th December. Romesh off again next week (7th) so Emma Willis sits in Nick Grimshaw in for Rylan on Saturday 14th, 21st and 28th (I assume he's in the following Saturday as well with Rylan still in Panto).

      I do wish they’d do more with Christmas limbo week than just anthems. Been my complaint each year. Letting them do playlists and requests would actually be so much better or even if Radio 1 did favourite content from the year (guests, Big Weekend, features etc). I’ll be turning off for limbo week again

      To be honest  I don't think the first point is that important. But the Anthems thing at christmas is now really dull - this is now 6 years of it. I'd rather it was very playlisted and just text ins and shouts.

      What do you think to my email to Aled?    Dear Aled. I hope you’re well. I just have a couple of queries regarding the Christmas schedules for Radio 1 that I hope you won’t mind answering. 1. What is the idea on the 23rd and 24th December cutting the shows to only 3 instead of 5 with Dean starting breakfast and both Lauren and Sam and Danni doing 4 hour shows? They are normal working days and I’d imagine the most fun to be working? I’d have early breakfast (cover) Dean atbreakfast, Lauren in mid morning and Sam or Danni to do afternoon and the other going home if you really couldn’t get other cover.  2. How come on the Christmas limbo week the only feature is anthems?  Why do the line up get to do the specialist shows but don’t get do their spin on the breakfast show, live lounge covers or other features. I get early breakfast being rested that week. Nadolig Llawen to everyone at Radio 1 and your family

      Pleased Christmas Day is at 7am as 8am is way too late.    New Year’s Day on the other hand should be no earlier than 7

      I’m surprised they’re going live as early as 6am on NYD - that feels very early considering last year it was 8am!
