According to schedule on Radio 1 website Dave is flying solo next Saturday, be interesting to see if he will be working the desk?

It will be indeed. I will be surprised if it happens - Chappers and Dave are a bit temperamental in the schedule - things seem to change all the time for their plans.

When is that taking place then. You seem to be well clued up, where do you get your info from if you dont mind me asking?

I don't but they have a shake-up every year around September and this seems to be the way they are going to do it. Chappers and Dave don't seem too upset about extra over-time over the summer so it seems the easiest way to keep a bit of routine. Details are usually announced the start of August.

I imagine he has a good idea how things work. I think he likes to play dumb these days about technology but let's not forget tech op was his original job at Radio 1. I think it's half laziness ;)

Well the technology has changed completely since Dave was tech-op Jono, that was over 10 years ago!

Haha I'm not disagreeing with that. But I think if he was technical minded enough to handle stuff off of the 90s he won't struggle with the amazin' technology they have these days.

I think he kind of fell into the job to be honest after working in BBC Monitoring centre getting the copyrights sorted they obviously thought they could just slap him in the job (it apparently consisted essentially of "button punching")-he certainly never had any qualifications and had a disc thrown at his head by Nicky Campbell on his first day. He was only in the job for a few months anyway until he became broadcast assistant to Chris.

Think i'm defiantly going to have to listen back to todays show. Tuned in at the end of the 9.30 news and there was a nice gap! With him not operating his own equipment that also makes it a good listen!

Can only be a good sign of the rest of the show!

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      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.
