Apart from Sara going to 1 day from January, this looks good. I'm really looking forward to having her on daytime again for the rest of 2008.

It'll be weird having Annie sent back to evenings again after getting so used to her in the early slot. Looks like Sunday's are a long day for Grimmy too.

To be honest two of my two favorites on radio one were dave pearce and dick and dom. They are both leaving. Dave pearce has always been a great dj. Dick and dom lack a little cred but they both play great music. Sad loss to both.

I am surprised that greg james hasn't had a promotion. But chappers and dave are good fun.

Surely the music will stay the same? It wasn't them choosing it, it's unlikely they will change the format.

So much for them being the new JK and Joel. I mean, I know they were never touted as that, but they got rid of one laddish duo and brought in another, so it was kind of obvious what they were doing.

The fact that they've been sacked/are leaving after less than a year just makes me more annoyed that JK and Joel went.

I'm glad Nihal is moving as I think that slot will suit him down to the ground.

Shame about Sara only doing one day but she will be great on the Lie in and I've no doubt she'll be first choice day time cover.

I think I'll like Edith on the lie in as I don't mind her its just I'm not a fan of her show e.g. the movies.

Obviously nice to hear more Chappers and Dave.

Shame about Dick and Dom. I enjoyed listning to them and think the Lie In suited them. However I'm not sure if they were very popular and would never have suited daytime. Sad to see them go.

I've not heard Grimmy yet so can't judge. And shame Fearne or Reggie aren't going.

From their website -

Right!

We've had the best year at radio 1. Dream job, great people, wicked music, etc.

They wanted us to stay on but that would have meant taking on more days

which we just couldn't do because of this, that and the other.....and filming!

Sad stuff but at least we can say that we've worked at the worlds greatest radio station.

Cheers Radio 1 for an amazing year.

P.S: Highlight = Zane V DicknDom.

I guess she's gutted her theory that Edith was a trooper and would be back full time before September was blown out of the water. Isn't coming back till October and isn't back full time till November ;)

It's a shame they didn't go further at Radio 1. They seem like internet geeks, I'd have liked UM to have got some sort of recognition from them. Hopefully they can return to the success of Da Bungalow. Although Are You Smarter is a great show too.

I find this very confuing - is it just me? Why make all these changes just for a few months at a time.

Im a little dissapointed that coxy only gets 3 hours a week - maybe its what she wanted? I hope she becomes the main cover presenter now. And why doesnt edith go back to her regular show? It doesnt look like they have announced cover for 2 months so will vernon and fearne continue to alternate?

The moves for Grimmy and Nihal seemed obvious, they are well regarded at Radio 1. In a way Annie has gone back to what she does best - specialist shows.

It all seems very confusing!!! but then im not supposed to know why tihngs are done i guess just here to listen!

Just reading Dick N Doms comments about staying on and how it would have meant taking on maore days - what do you think they where offered? Weekend Breakfast? Weekday Early Breakfast and Greg would have gone to Weekends 1-4pm over Nihal?

wow confusing schedule :D

to be honest I'm not surprised Dick and Dom are leaving, I never felt they fitted in with the rest of the station, thats not me being mean or anything, but I just thought that perhaps R1 wasn't the best place for them, or rather, Lie in wasn't the right slot. but I'm not surprised.

Grimmy getting weekend breakfast? excellent, hes slowly become one of my favourite DJs, bar the obvious one :P Sara cox and Edith back is also good news.

confusing but good I think :D

Just received a BBC Switch press release. It seems they're going to be up to the usual stuff on Radio 1 when Annie Mac returns. I didn't expect Grimmy to stay there until the evening though:

Annie Mac returns to Switch on Sunday nights on Radio 1 to co-host with Nick Grimshaw. The duo will bring teens the ultimate guide to the coolest things they are watching, playing, listening to and talking about. The show features big name guests every week, weekly contributions from LA gossip king Perez Hilton plus behind-the-scenes news and performances from TV show Sound. Regular features include ‘Confuse the teacher feature’ where listeners are encouraged to put a random word in their homework, and the now infamous ‘Let’s Sumo!’ where supermodel Agyness Deyn, Sadie Frost and Pixie Geldof have donned the sumo suit for a bout with Grimmy.

There will also be a live 'BBC Switch' event on the 12th October for Under 18s.

too right viv. they couldn't manage a p**s up in a brewery! who ever decided tv personalities should present radio 1 needs shooting. weekends now have no personality whatsoever and i find the presenters bland. they can't present for their life or work the equipment. then they want every poxy week off to work in america for some new television show.

I agree too Claire. What a pigging mess!

I've always maintained that Fearne has a face for telly, but not a personality for radio. I positively cringed during her interview with Will Ferrell the other day. Jeez! Anyone off of UM could have done a better job.

She did get out of control during that interview, laughing like a complete maniac.

I've got a biography out the library about her at the moment, which is quite interesting. I note though that there are people in it that say she just switches on the radio chirpy personality thing!

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

I keep thinking 'Greg's time will come' because every other early breakfast DJ was in that slot for several years. But what we forget is how hard he works. No other new DJ is creating blogs, going out and about to cross-promote events, and filling in for other DJs like that. For that he does deserve early promotion.

He is a country mile better than Nihal, Fearne and Reggie, Annie Mac (at day-time although she's still good) and in my opinion Edith.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
