Has anyone seen their interview in the Guardian today, Monday 14th. In it on e of them said they virtually made themselves unemployable at R1 becasue they refused to do any more earlies and wanted Edith's show!

I really wonder what would have happened if Edith had got pregnant earlier or if the reorganisation had been later?

It's true about wanting Edith's show. I had known about this back in August, but didn't want to say anything as it wasn't common knowledge.

I think it's a disappointment it didn't happen, as it was the natural place for them to go next. What is annoying is that we've lost two good DJs for a load of naff celebrity TV personalities, and that was what annoyed me about the schedule changes.

I agree - I mean, Dick and Dom - can it get any worse? I just hope that Greg James gets to present more shows in his career.

I think JK & Joel thought they were still on Radio 1 yesterday, as I heard them say "we're on weekday early mornings.... oh no we're not any more".

I heard them on Virgin Radio yesterday, discussing whether it's 'dancing' (northern pronunciation) or 'dancing' (southern way) on ice, then concluding the southern way was 'posh'. Better than Dick and Dom, but I did change the station because I like to hear music, not DJs rambling on for ages.

kinda ironic they left since they could have taken over from Edith when she gos on maternity leave in the spring,and now theyre stuck on at weekends on Virgin. Some people are just unlucky! :|

ps Edith is on her todd till april while her boyfriend is on tour in the states and she's stuck in London doing her radio one show- how long will she want that sort of situation to continue i wonder.I would be surprised if she returns to a 5 day a week show after having the baby,and she may not return to radio one at all.

Come on can you seriously imagine Edith not coming back to R1 at all?

Unless her boyfriend is a potential millionaire, how on earth would she cope without her salary?

I'd be surprised if she carries on with daytimes..(unless they find her another partner like Colin who could effectively job-share with her) Id imagine she'd go to weekends.

Although Jono if you knew about this in August Id feel quite sorry for Edith...It must be really unsettling to have people wanting her show before shes even left it!

But I also feel for JK and Joel...because I think they were an asset to R1, and it was a shame they felt that they had to leave.

Come on, cut Edith some slack, she's a good presenter and a nice lady. Just because people don't like her show doesn't mean she's bad.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      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!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      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.

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.

      I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot

      -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
