It seems hard to work out who would be more prestigious to take over such an important broadcaster. I guess the question is whether the show is as important as it once was or whether existing shows do some of that work already? Either way my money is on Charlie Tee if there's a short-term change.

I think it would only be right for it to be Martha if she wants it. She was Annie’s producer anyway and was hand-picked by her for her scholarship so I think it’s only right that her legacy continues in that way.

This is quite a tasteless topic to start discussing. Annie died only 4 days ago. I know fantasy schedules and predicting future schedules is the norm on this site, but this comes across as quite disrespectful. 

Totally agree, I know that the station and the listeners would want to keep things tasteful and respectful definately think the forum should be the same. I’m sure Aled and the station will over the weeks ahead will get the tone right and will do right in how they honour her legacy.

Sorry that this has caused offence. I don't think we can pretend there's a hole in the schedule and somebody has to fill it, shorter term or longer term, I am not interested in 'fantasy' threads but I am interested in who might be able to champion new dance acts. She leaves massive shoes to fill.

I am as sad as any other listener about losing Annie, but I don't think she was the sort of person who wanted a period of mourning.

She may not have wanted a period of mourning or we may have thought. but it wont be a priority for a permanent ‘replacement’ in the short term and thus why I think its pointless speculation when the station would wish to think of its listeners and the listeners of Annie Nightingale’s show in remembering and reflecting on her career and the show that she founded and the legacy that lies ahead. When the inevitable schedule change occurs in the long terms I expect they will be wise enough to not use the words of replacement.

Which was my original point... I think there will be a fresh look at the new music and dance output. I don't relish the idea, nor do I care for fantasy schedules.

I think Radio 1 will basically just look to fill the gap with whatever is as close as can be, stay quiet about it and see where it goes. And that's the appropriate way to do it imo. As I mentioned in the main thread. When John Peel died in 2004, they put Rob Da Bank into that slot. Not as a replacement, as there couldn't ever be one really. But that fell into place and he was there for a while. The same may happen again, except without Rob Da Bank. 

on the grid.

Martha’s in on Tuesday 

Pre recorded I think as Martha said "We've gathered your messages over the last few days but don't send any more because we can't see them". Still, good show. You can tell Annie & Martha had a good bond.

I think a part of Annie Nighingale’s ability of getting a long career at Radio 1 is that the ability to build good bonds in her 53 years at the station she has probably had over a hundred of producers working on her show not even including the colleagues in the building. She seemed very encouraging and nurturing and co-operative finding ways of give the right advise and saying the right words and helping along the way. I can’t imagine her ever being difficult when Matt Edmonson talked about Radio 1 as family and how she was at the core of the Radio 1 family I feel like Annie would include Martha and the behind the scenes crew in that.

    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
