Hello all.

Does anyone know what has happened to Vicki Blight ? I used to enjoy her Friday show but now Greg James has gone full time, I haven't heard her since she covered for him in January of this year. I just wanted to know if we might be hearing her on Early breakfast again. Any ideas?

Maybe Vernon will go to Weekday afternoon's, since he has done it before. The only disadvantage will be he might not go on Saturday Mornings which will be a shame................ I think his saturday show is really good.

Does anybody know why Radio 1 had that strange scheme on Early breakfast, where Greg did Monday - Thursday and Vicki did Fridays only - seems a bit strange.

Because Greg officially tookover early breakfast in October. Before then he was just filling the gap between JK and Joel leaving and the schedule getting a shake-up.

Until October they were still working the previous format which was in place to suit JK and Joel. They would work Monday to Thursday and have Fridays off so they could work a fifth day on Sunday for the chart show.

Friday was originally kept back for Fearne and Reggie, before they moved to weekend breakfast, and the show was given to "new talent".

This varied from presenters like Natalie Jamieson and James King to Dick and Dom to student radio presenters.

Does anyone else have the feeling/hope that James and Matt (Gavin and Stacey, NME awards, BBBM etc.) will be joining in Radio 1 somtime soon?

Annie Mac mentioned it, saying she hoped they would but I really hope that they will have something to do with Ediths cover.

Maybe they will start Switch? And Grimmy moves...?

They were GREAT on Switch the other week, anyone else agree?

I would love it too but when they were on SoccerAM last they said that they were leaving presenting behind now to continue with other writing/acting projects in the pipeline.

Yeah but he used to do 6 days and have Friday off. That was when Vicki would cover. I don't know weither this was stopped after October because when Scott last went on holiday and Coxy covered, she did Scott's show and her weekend show for 2 weeks.

Chappers and Dave can never do a regular slot due to their Scott Mills and Chris Moyles commitments.

Chappers is a workaholic - I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing 7 days a week :D

Greg pretty much has Fridays covered now, at least, everyone's always excited about Free For All Friday. You can't really take that away from him now. Not to mention that he doesn't even have to give the number out before the lines are filled to do the Flash! Flash! at 4 AM. He's really gaining on popularity. If I lived there, I'd go on the M1 during that time just to see the "disco" of people flashing their lights in tune to the music. Gosh, I wonder what the police think of it. It would be pretty mad to see people flashing their lights for two minutes at a time then stopping. Not to mention at the same time every single weekday.

what does that really matter to the non-listener though? that's like saying "don't take fearne away from the chart show because she does chart busters that a few people take part in!" not that i want greg to go anywhere, i just don't see how a feature means he should stay where he is :| :)

Anyone can do chart busters, and by the way, they did away with it. No one can do Free For All Friday though, I mean, you have to be someone that can put up with having to hang up on people and carrying on a conversation.

      Summer on Radio 1

      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.

      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?

      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

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
