I would imagine that Moyles and Scott will stay where they are. But i predict changes to Jo and /or Ediths show. One of them will leave to be replaced by Sara. But im not sure which one.....Jo has a relatively stable show and also a less pressurised timeslot (Im guessing a smaller more

The trouble I find with Jo sometimes is she is too rigid. Coxy brings some fun to the show. While still keepin to the task/features in hand. She seems to interact with listeners better

I think Jo always sounds patronising and as if she is above everybody else.

haha I wish!

I think they need a new DJ. A proper swing presenter, because borrowing people from 1xtra annoys me.

Whatever happened to Vicki Blight? Apparently she's doing some holiday cover over on XFM. I think she totally missed out on the Surgery, we wouldn't be in this mess if she had got the job.

What mess? Aled is hosting the surgery full time now with Kelly. I think aled is the perfect choice for it.

I dont believe that Sara is going to be on only once a week - she is either going to be moved to a weekday or bigger weekend slot, or will be holiday cover and we will hear her popping up everywhere!

I hope Zane stays but if he does go like someone predicted then Colin should take his place, and if it wasnt for her family that would be a great slot for Jo, but i feel someone like Rob Da bank could take it which is just as good!

Who knows about the mills and moyles thing - but if either does go i think we can expect a the usual attempt to keep the listeners by bringing in a big personality to front the shows rather than looking at what they already have or searching for new talent!

You think Parfitt should be following Bannister's style then?

Some argued that killed off the golden days of Radio 1 but it did mean Radio 1 went on to perform very well.

I think if the older DJs were axed I'd probably tune out of Radio 1 though.

I agree, Radio 1 needs to keep some of the so called oldies, for those of us who are young but not down with the kids.

He's not a saviour, far from it.

I don't turn the radio on to hear someone ramble about what they did last night for a few hours.

He is, I do.

Well it depends who it is. I cannot be doing with Max, but I like Ronnie Herel, he has a smooth voice, ideal for that time of the morning. I'd like him to fill in more for Greg.

She's a damn site better than Max.

I listened to Max on weekend breakfast today. She has that laid-back but shouty style that is all too common on 1Xtra. She seems lovely but I think the early/holiday shifts are the furthest she'll go on Radio 1. Ronnie Herel who is currently on early breakfast does, however, sound like a chap I'd enjoy listening to that early in the morning.

He hasn't even been at Radio 1 long - less than two years. Most of the other DJs did all sorts of silly shifts before they got to where they are, just give it time. Greg, I think, knows how lucky he is to be where he is.

I think the 1 thing about Greg is often you can tell he really enjoys doin earlies. And he makes the most of any show he does.

That's what I think. I think he's doing rather well to have all of those cover slots, he's sure to go far.

Anyone have any predictions for 2009? Let's be serious here, please don't all post that Mills will take over breakfast.

I think 2009 will mark the end of Moyles of breakfast though, I can see him moving to Capital or Absolute (for a disgusting amount of money) or only doing television. I also think Radio 1 will say goodbye to Jo Whiley, maybe even Edith Bowman.

Like you, I believe '09 will mark the end of Moyles in brekkie.

Other than that, I think Sara may get Edith's afternoon slot (which Sara has already done very well).

Also, I predict Mr Mills may finally become pregnant.

Heylo all! I think that most things will stay the same. Maybe Sara getting Edith's slot and Edith going to weekend maybe doing some of Nihal's shows.

But mostly think that Mills & Moyles will stay the same, it's weird getting up in the morning without the cheesy song playing! I would love to hear some more of Greg though, 4 in the morning is just too early to be getting up n these computers at work don't like the iplayer for me to listen again. BOOOOO@them

But really as long as Scott, who is the best, stays on I will continue to listen to him!

I would love it if they kept Coxy in for Jo permanently.

I think the only way to keep Edith in is to get her a permanent co-presenter- I liked her with Colin or when she has James King to bounce off, but don't really think she can carry a show on her own.

I think this may be the last year of Moyles with dwindling listening figures and growing target audience paranoia, but I don't think they have anyone strong enough lined up in the wings as a replacement apart from Scott, and I can't see him shifting from drive.

So what actually happened in 2009...

Derek Acorah's Wrong Predictions...

I think 2009 will mark the end of Moyles of breakfast.
moyles will stop on the radio 1 breakfast show.
I dont think there will be too many changes to Radio 1 because the station is sounding the best it ever has done, has a stronge line up (most of the time) and also has great audience figures. Zane could finish up. Chappers and Dave may get more shifts
I also think Judge Jules may move on this year.
radio 1 is killing off dance music all together from the station i think, jules will be moving to galaxy sadly too.
I don't think (I hope they don't anyway) they'll change the daytime schedule, it's amazing how it is.
i think it will just stay the way it is :)

Nearly There...

I also think Radio 1 will say goodbye to Jo Whiley, maybe even Edith Bowman.
The only thing is I expect is a few more pregnant women and perhaps a slight reshuffle when Jo Whiley returns. I personally don't believe Sara Cox will do just a Sunday.
I think Edith will leave the afternoon show with Sara Cox taking it over, Greg James to move to weekends (and covering weekday shows)

Mystic Megs Correct Predictions...

scott will stop where he is. edith will probably go to weekends.
I think there will be a small change in the daytime line-up which could see (hopefully) Jo Whiley move, she may start doing specials. I also think think that I dont think that Moyles will go just yet and think that Scott will stay where he is - i dont think he is breakfast material yet. Hopefully people like Nihal will be moved from Weekends...... I wouldent be surprised to see a new sound to radio 1, new voiceovers, perhaps an extended playlist and no doubt some more events aimed at BBC Switchs audience.
Someone new to takeover early breakfast.
Greg gets 1-4 slot.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      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

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      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.
    • Dan18F1
      Summer on Radio 1

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      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?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      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
