For a station that is trying to strengthen it's ties with the 'youth' it seems odd for them to revert to a dance outside broadcast on New Year's Eve. How do the daytime DJs promote that over Christmas. It's not like saying "join Scott for his New Year's show" it's "if you like dance, you might like this..."

I personally liked what they did a year or two back counting down the best moments of Radio 1 of that year. Is this what Chris is doing or is it just based on his show? Alright it appeared to be fixed to make the DAB broadcast something that filled 2 hours, but it was good to hear stuff like that again. I guess this means Scott could do his own highlights in his shows.

It'll be odd not having Scott on for the change of year. I didn't think the last one was that great, as it focused on something you had to have a Freeview box for.

I hope Chris is coming live on New Year's Eve. Moyles and Mills pre-records aren't that enjoyable when you can't have input.

Get in. That should be very, very good.

New Year's Eve...

7pm to 10pm: To be confirmed - Scott Mills.

I hope so. I really enjoyed last years show, but the family got a bit vexed that I'd rather welcome in the new year with the radio than them. At least this way I don't have to choose.

New Year's Day...

7am to 7pm: Chris Moyles's All Day Breakfast. Chris Moyles brings listeners 12 hours of highlights from the past year this New Year's Day, as he takes a look back at some of his favourite guests and musical tracks.

That should be amazing. I'll definitely have the radio on all day, especially if it's live.

Perhaps he lost the real schedule in the post somewhere...

Coincidentally the tax benefits office sent us a letter today to apologise for losing our details.

Get in. That should be very, very good.

Where's your "no, I'll be listening to Richard Hammond on Christmas Eve, Boxing Day and the week running up to 2nd January!!!!"

I presumed they had enough talent this year to make it a good Christmas Day. They have Greg and Vicki Blight for a start. Instead we're treated to documentary style shows and a Kylie Minogue special that was presumably recorded when she popped into see Jo Whiley.

Kylie Minogue is to host a two-hour Christmas Day programme on GMG's Real Radio and Century FM stations.

The Kylie Christmas Show will air from 10am to 12pm on the day. She will play a wide variety of her favourite songs, "some just for fun and some more poignant".

Ah, so that ruins the Kylie Minogue exclusive show then. She's doing the whole lot.

    • Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky between the 28th-30th May.
    • I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?
    • Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.
    • Zoe Ball is back on the breakfast show on Monday.
    • Just listening to matt and mollie at work and heard them say it's their second to last show on weekends
    • And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury 
    • When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.
    • Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
    • I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury
    • I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.
    • Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then? 
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.
    • I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
