Ahh they’re the perfect changes! Although where has the budget come from for another weekend early breakfast show?! Very happy for Sam and Danni, James and Ore though who have all done their fair share of cover! And Matt and Jerry is going to be chaos!

I can imagine he might also be used for Katie’s maternity cover?

I’ve been banging the drum for Sam & Danni on Weekend Afternoons, so these moves are spot on. Has it been mentioned if they’ll still be in Cardiff?

James will be great for WB - that show thrives with a solo presenter because of the pace of the day. Unsure on the need for a Weekend EB, especially at just an hour. But it gets 2 new names into the official line up & should mean all EB/Daytime cover is done by people “on the books”.

Jerry should be great fun with Matt. I really rated him from the week he spent on Going Home, despite having not heard a great deal of him beforehand.

Some good changes there. Well deserved for James Cusack and Sam & Danni. Having a duo on weekend afternoons is a good move and it means they won't go back to just two days. Great to see James Cusack on board finally as well. His cover stint over the summer really impressed me and he's done lots of cover for the past couple of years, so good to see it's finally paid off. 

 

Jeremiah covering for Mollie is an interesting one. I was expecting them to have another female presenter such as Maia Beth or Lauren Layfield stand in. However... Jerry from the bits I've heard of him is entertaining and definitely has that potential to successfully cross over from specialist to a mainstream daytime show so no complaints there.

I do wonder what the thinking is behind a 1 hour weekend early breakfast show? Will it be live or pre-recorded? I’m guessing it’s so essentially they have Ore and Swarzy on the books as official presenters in the view to giving them more in the coming years!

Very pleased for James though, you can see how much it means to him just from his Instagram post, I think he’ll be perfect doing that show as well.

Sam and Danni are also perfect to take over a more personality led show, it sounds like it will have guests on too which will be a nice change for weekends, there is no mention of them coming from Cardiff though so I wonder if that show is moving to London considering it’s based there at the moment? 
 

I think Matt and Jerry will be absolutely hilarious together, and I’m glad that he’s getting more exposure.

I’m guessing that Friday Early Breakfast will be going back to a presenter rotation now that Sam and Danni will be moving off it?

All in all I think these are a very strong set of changes announced today.

It took them bloody long enough to announce! 😂

All jokes aside, great changes. Jerry feels an inspired shout to put alongside Matt while Mollie is on leave, those of us who banged the James Cusack drum feel justified and Sam & Danni will fill that M&M hole on weekend afternoons perfectly.

Do slightly wonder how necessary a weekend Early Breakfast show is (especially at just an hour) but I guess it's a way to get Ore and Swarzy's foot in the door permanently.

And best of all no influencers or Danny Beard in sight. Danny's spell hopefully now being assigned to the Lisa L'Anson section of the Radio 1 history book.

Interesting the Future Pop moves back to Thursdays 8-10pm. Does that mean Arielle is leaving?

 

I presume that's just an error (especially as Thursday 8-10pm was the previous slot) by whoever did the release as otherwise surely they'd have announced that too.

Well you would've thought they'd have announced these schedule changes back when it was announced that Matt and Mollie were moving but look how that turned out! So that's hardly a good argument. That said, I do agree that it's probably a misprint as Rave-Up is barely a year old, as is Radio 1 Dance Morning that Arielle also presents.

I did think that at first too but looking at the post they put on Twitter says future pop is Thursday too, as well as on the graphic they made for Facebook and Insta and I started questioning whether they’d make the same mistake 3 times. Time will tell I guess!

It’s written in the press release as Thursday, so I would guess the graphics/social teams used that as a reference point?

agree. lots on here and ds said the same about james after his month of cover so its great they took him on board and we get to have him reguarly plus a deserved continuation of 3 days for sam and danni.

both seem popular, very good changes and hires and might this be the first time forums have been fairly happy ? 😂 jerry has also been very strong when given exposure on daytime, that will be brilliant cover

      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!
