It's a shame as it's only the last few years I've taken a listen to Dance Anthems. Straight after the chart show with JK and Joel was great. Kept me listening to Radio 1 for most of Sunday night.

I catch a little bit when I'm coming home after work on a Friday night. It's going to be a huge loss to Radio 1 when it finally goes. Where else do you get to hear all the classic dance tracks?

the stupid move radio 1 bosses made last year has caused this. he was moved from sunday nights where there was nothing wrong with the show there, and this bbc switch stuff is on now which frankly isn't half as good and is dying on it's arse.

i said last year that all these moves would stop me listening to radio 1 as much as i used to, and it's true becuase i now switch between galaxy and kiss mostly these days in my car. i'll miss dave pearce, it's not the way someone should leave radio 1 after so many years, ousted into the middle of the night. i'll listen to his new show wherever that may be, and i expect radio 1 to replace it with some show promoting the stuff they playlist all day.

on the grid.

I remember when Dave done Late Drive (6pm-8pm), that was a good show as well with a 30 minute mix at the end of the show, shows he can do daytime and specialist.

I agree with DC about moving it from Sunday's and to replace it with that idiot Grimmy. Still I bet Kiss got a load of extra listeners out of it.

switch is a bit poor...

i don't even know who grimmy is to be honest, where the hell did he come from? does anyone even care?

i'd like dave pearce to move to galaxy or something they would give him a proper timeslot as well, but i think he will take a break from radio and concentrate on clubs. his drive shows were pretty good to be honest, if i remember he used to have mixes that lasted around 25 mins. dance music to begin with but it got mixed by computers later on. i bet dave's replacement will be comical to say the least, some camp sounding fool who will play lots of scooter and cascada probably. judge jules is moving into the old dance anthems slot btw.

It does look like he was pushed. It's not the end of Dave though. His website currently says:

"Due to contractual obligations, details of Pearce’s new radio slot cannot currently be made public. A further announcement will be made to media over the coming weeks"

I imagine they'd have said if he was going to Radio 2 though.

if he was moving within the bbc then i imagine that they would say where he was off to. i just don't think radio 2 is ready for dave pearce to get his trance trousers on to be honest, maybe another 7 or 8 years. it's one extreme to the other, the same station that has terry wogan on playing the beatles could be playing underworld's born slippy, it just dosen't look right.

i think he'll end up at galaxy or kiss, or at least a station that will appreciate him more.

Lets start a petition, DP back on a sunday evening and Switch to be bumped off, who's on board with me?

Stupid BBC getting rid of a brilliant well established world famous DJ :(

i wish that could happen but radio 1 seem to have a habbit of ignoring listeners views. switch is probably the greatest thing since the invention of the internet to hear them speak.

when does dave finish anyway? i've been recording the shows, but i have yet the chance to catch up. you see, i don't want to record the 'replacement' show by accident and get things mixed up.

I think there is someone high up at radio 1 who has a hidden agenda. If you look at the radio 2 evening schedule it has loads of djs like dave for there respective fields. Steve lamaque, Trevor nelson, It won't be long before Sara Cox, Scott Mills and Vernon Kay find themselves moved.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.

      Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots. A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1. Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.

      I remember hearing Amy first on Scotts show and she was great on that, the daft quiz questions always made me smile. It's really nice to see the hard work has paid off for them all.

      Actually the worst tends to be those who comment on Radio Today news stories. People who haven’t listened to younger oriented radio stations in years who say things like “who?” about any job going to any presenter aged younger than 50.

      Ahhh very happy for Amy - that’s very well deserved! I didn’t hear their final show but are Matt and Mollie keeping Helena? Hopefully she might be the main producer of their new show!
