I think Annie Mac must be taking a break in September as Nihal is taking over weekend afternoons leaving Grimmy on Switch and it looks like Chappers and Dave will present weekend breakfast until Annie returns so that Grimmy can takeover mornings?

Where does it actually list ,accurately, who is doing which show when? I thought the R1 site only did about a week in advance and was changed almost at the last minute to cover holidays etc?

I still think its strange that Edith, if she wants to come back part-time (which is perfectly fair for any mum.) Isnt coming back onto her old show for a couple of days a week...and just continuing to share with Vernon and Fearne. instead shes been shifted to sunday mornings with a different format and team to the one she is used to. And next week, according to this weeks Radio Times, shes having Sara Cox cover for her...

Yeah, Sara Cox is doing Edith's show for a bit. It seems some DJs have been moved around and others haven't.

Saturday 6th/Sunday 7th

7am Chappers & Dave

10am Vernon Kay / Dick and Dom

1pm Nihal

4pm Fearne n Reggie

7pm Switch with Nick Grimshaw

I've given up now. I'll turn on the radio and anyone could be on.

"Your listining to Radio 1 it's JK and Joel back for one week only in for Nick Grimshaw who's in for Coxy who's covering Edith while she does Dick and Dom's show and Annie Mac takes over.....

Hate to say this but thats not far wrong

They obviously wanted a teen celebrity to promote help promote Switch. Things with Peaches must have fell through.

uhhh I still have NO idea who Peaches Geldof is :S

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.

Gotta agree with the Dave Pearce comment.

Him, Judge Jules and Scott Mills are what make Radio 1 for me, just happy Jules and Mills aren't leaving!

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
