Looking at the press release for Radio 1 Anthems, it seems they are going to be doing something similar to their previous Christmas efforts by putting in new names to present some shows.

Suspect they will simulcast. Personally am completely fed-up with the lazy anthems programming through the Christmas period but no signs that that will change! I know they do it to go light on production needs, but surely with some good prework we could have a bit of something else!

It seems Global are launching Capital Anthems this week. It's a bit exhausting how everyone's chasing the same audiences.

I find it amazing how they just whack out these national DAB slots left right and center for these spin off stations that seem to have a short shelf life.

on the grid.

Capital Anthems is going on DAB. So it will presumably have the upper hand for getting audience until Radio 1 know what's happening with its Anthems stream.

Honestly same, its strange how many of these spinoff stations both Bauer and global just start every so often while keeping the vast majority of the existing ones going. Partially it's a thing where they own the multiplexes so they do what the hell they like with them. And what they seem to do is just downgrade the Bitrate so more space on the multiplexes and they audience probably doesn't notice or care the drop in sound quality

Plus the fact I think they're at three national commercial multiplezes (D1, D2, Sound Digital) plus all the regional and local commercial owned ones so it's probably a situation of just filling the space because they can.

The multiplex Capital Anthems is on sounds so terribly and tinny in my car, I can barely listen. Suspect it's my radio being quite old and not very DAB+ friendly, but the sooner the BBC launch this station there the better.

That will be because of the bitrate that they’ve launched these stations at… they try and squeeze too many stations on one multiplex.

I think Capital Anthems is as low as 32 kbit/s, whereas Radio 1 is broadcast at 128 kbit/s.

is the r1 anthems station going to be on dab? someone said on here it was sounds only

It’ll launch as Sounds only, but the BBC wants to place this, R1 Dance, R2 spin off & R3 Relax onto DAB - but they need to get additional approval for that to happen

I hope eventually we'll see some proper shows for Radio 1 Anthems with some actual new presenters, instead of having random prerecorded anthems programming. It seems like a really great opportunity for some new presenters to have proper shows on a slightly smaller scale Radio 1 station with older, but still modern and relevent music. Almost like a Radio 1 mini, however the budget may not allow for so much.

      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!

      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

      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.
