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.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      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?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
