Just realised it will be a new Xmas breakfast presenter this year as it was Jordan. I always turn off Radio 1 in between Xmas and New Year. The non stop anthems are just not for me at all - I always hope they change it but each year, it’s the same thing. 

Now that we have Radio 1 Anthems as a station it would seem a bit redundant to have two radio stations doing non stop anthems for a week. Maybe that'll give them incentive to do something different on Radio 1 that week for once?

I agree it’s lazy radio and the shows should have features. Even get someone like Ore doing a breakfast show and the rest being anthems.

I missed the days where it was 'normal' personality led shows (even if it was different music, but it was without the pre mixed 'blocks') and the 'B' team such as Adele Roberts Matt Edmondson, Dev etc. stepped up (with Scott & Chris on Breakfast).

I completely agree - they also have such a strong B Team now (and SO MANY presenters that don’t get much of a chance with double header shows etc) that it would be nice to see them at Christmas. 
 

You could very easily see a Christmas week schedule of:

5am - James Cusack
7am - Sam and Danni
10:30am - Nat and Vicky
1pm - Ore
3:30pm - Lauren

And that’s with every single normal presenter being off!

    • 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 😛 
    • Also, and not to be forgotten, compere of Matt and Molly's "Initial Reaction" 😁
    • 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 reckon Scott will be on on the 6th 
    • Take that back was 14th January so maybe there will be 2/3 weeks of Gaby covering
    • 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!
    • 1st January Updated 6am-10am: Radio 1 Workout Anthems with Connor Knight 10am-2pm: Radio 1 Workout Anthems with Ore Olukoga
    • Greg has a new BBC Sounds image for Christmas!
    • 2nd January: 6am - Sam & Danni 10am - TBC 2pm - Lauren Layfield 6pm - Jack Saunders 3rd January: 6am - Sam & Danni 10am - Nat O’Leary (no Anthems in the schedule yet) 2pm - Party Anthems with James Cusack 4pm - Chart with Jack Saunders 6pm - Danny Howard 8pm - Sarah Story
