I think Arielle will be on Fridays in a couple of years, natural replacement for Danny Howard, just needs a few dance shows under her belt which she will get with this move. Could also see her stepping in for Jack and Sian when they’re off, she definitely has the talent for evenings and did a stint last summer (albeit it was cut short after that Ibiza incident). I don’t think there was much more for her to gain from doing early mornings and it will her to grow elsewhere. Hope we still get to hear her on the station, she’s one of my favourites.

I hope they do keep Future Pop on the station and it isn’t completely axed.

Yes it’s staying but moving to Wednesdays 8-10. I’m surprised Mollie is still presenting it, because it’s very rare that Radio 1 do double-shifting, let alone permanently. I’d have thought it would be the perfect time to give it to Maia Beth

Mollie seems to be loving presenting Future Pop though. I hope it won't be prerecorded as it was on Friday mornings.

Arielle sounds like it's with her blessing.

I think after a while of the 3am alarms and early nights having the ability to have a normal week day life back probably is something that would be something for er to count as a positive. As it is said she has specialist music interest and probably enjoy exploring more new exciting projects along with the new show and can imagine that in the next stages of Radio 1 Dance when it moves to be a DAB+ station could imagine that she will be heavily involved in.

People have commented on the shakeup being very London-centric, and this is doing nothing to quell those fears 🤣

It's pretty common for London office workers to go out on Thursday night, work from home on the Friday so they can recover in time to not ruin their weekend with a hangover. A Thursday night dance show sounds heavily aimed at that demographic.

With Arielle's DJ career going from strength to strength it isn't a huge shock she doesn't want to keep getting up for earlies.

That Thursday night slot will suit her perfectly - still allows her to do her various DJ gigs over the weekend plus if she wanted one of the Friday night slots or Dance Anthems the next time one of those slots becomes free it gets her foot in the door there. And it's good we still get to hear her on Radio 1 in some form.

Pleased too that Arielle's new show hasn't come at the expense of Future Pop and that Future Pop has just moved days instead.

I did think Arielle would move away from early breakfast before long. Her future is clearly part of the Radio 1 Dance family (plus her DJ career), plus it was unlikely she was going to progress to a more prime daytime slot at this point. If this enhanced Radio 1 Dance Station takes off, she likely be a big part of that. I can definitely see her on Friday nights eventually as well.

I'm interested to see what form her new Thursday night show takes, and if it offers anything different to the existing dance shows on R1.

Since they could do some live non-simulcasted content it would be good to have Arielle Free maybe doing Tuesday and Wednesday editions of her new dance show on Radio 1 Dance or have an exclusive content role on it.

Thursdays has been the new Fridays for nearly a decade. I don’t think it’s synonymous with London only.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      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.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      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.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      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.

      I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot

      -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
