Capital Summertime Ball 2024

Interested to know what people think the station will be like in the next 5 years.

Pretty obvious Greg won't go before 2027 but then I think Jack becomes next breakfast host. 

Katie in Live lounge

Sam and Danni on Afternoons

Dean on Drive

Arielle on future sounds 

Charlie on Friday nights and Rickie and Melvin on 1xtra Breakfast show.

 

I'd also quite like a movies show a Sunday where they discuss new films for this week and play music from it and music from other films. Could do it from 7 to 9 before r1 relax

Great post as ever however after recent events. I have no clue atm i will give this one some thought and post back soon. However i think Greg will be gone before 2027

Greg has made no secret of his desire to get the record. I think he would reject all offers til he gets it and I also don't think he will take another radio show on any station after the breakfast show ends.

With the added bad blood between Aled and Moyles then I don't think Aled will axe Greg so he can take it from him.

The only question is will anyone replace Aled in the meantime

That's my view too.  Most of us had been predicting Matt leaving and Greg leaving and being replaced Jordan.

When we think of the biggest still upcoming talents on the station such as Sam and Danni and Jack Saunders we would expect central roles.  But now who could predict them not leaving for bigger jobs elsewhere!

Right now my best guess until the end of 2025 is stability with maybe a few minor changes to specialist shows.  (Maybe Daniel P Carter moving on, maybe some of the Dance DJs being snapped up for bigger roles elsewhere, there is amazing talent in Danny, Sarah, Charlie Tee and Jeremiah).

Is this actually true? I am not sure I have ever heard/read about Greg talking of beating Moyles's record?

Doesn't mean I don't think he could do it... I think Radio 1 will be desperate to keep his stability for a while yet, and with the news of his new contract he'll definitely beat Grimmy into second longest.

I think Greg will leave next year, maybe Jordan was promised breakfast to an extent…but Not just the Jordan show. I think there is no breakfast show ready to take over from Greg. 
Feel for Aled because a lot of the recent decisions have been more about where in the uk they broadcast from (which maybe from above him)…it’s not as easy as putting someone in a new city. 

i think RMC leave next year too…Jordan leaving ultimately extended their shelf life. 
in terms of who’s taking over a breakfast show I have no idea!

Jack Saunders is far too much for breakfast. I like him but he’s awful on the charts show and doesn’t have a lot about him. He’s just the shoutout king and team this or that. 

I reckon it will either be Matt and Mollie on breakfast, unless they don’t want to do it. Then they may take a punt on Sam and Dani. 

I highly doubt RMC will leave, most DJs leave if they have tv shows to fall back on and none of them do. I can see Vick and Katie presenting that show though and think they’d be great at it. 

Mid afternoon could go to Nat and James from Salford.

Drive could be Sam and Dani’s or Vicky and Emil from Salford. 

Jack will be future sounds, Arielle will be far too old to be doing that show if he ever moves on. 

Sian to do the 20:00 slot in whatever format it is.

Some of the phrases on here are very funny, the shoutout king 😂 Jack is great whenever I catch bits of him on the evening shows and delivering the new music but I get what you mean and I much prefered Scott on the chart.

It feels like arielle is going to stay with the dance djs now .I do think Katie will stay with R1 across this time period being discussed. Nat and vicky could stay as a thing but equally James and Katie could if Vick left in the next few years. I don't think she'll be there in 18 months - 2 years
