I am assuming there will be more emphasis on "BBC Radio 1" than just "Radio 1" which they seem to be aiming to do at the moment.

I heard this too but I didn't think it was going to be a full update as it's earlier than usual. They usually bring them in on a saturday so could it be tomorrow?

I did notice the Big Weekend was referred to as 'BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend' on the promos and logos this year so it wouldn't surprise me. Heard a promo for Switch today as well and they used the full name.

When was the last time Radio 1 emphasised the BBC part of their name?

I'm pretty sure they advertise it as "BBC Radio 1 at Download" too.

I was starting to wonder whether the female voiceover who does a lot of the INMWT voiceovers was going to get more involved with the station - she's now doing stuff for Grimmy's show.

No, that was just 'Radio 1 at Download' - well thats what the presenter said on the main promo.

Its about time to shift Jody off the imaging, its just past the big weekend and they change the male and female in alternate years so that it changes every 2 years after the big weekend (if that makes sense!).

I'd imagine it will be a voice that we haven't before so that Radio 1 stands out against its competition

Look forward to hearing some updates, there imaging is getting shockingly bad at the moment, hopefully it will get a little better with this refresh.

Already hinted at by Becky when talking about an email about the Podcast stagers

When did she say this? Anybody got a clip or exact time for the Iplayer? I don't tend to listen to the show that often!

I heard that this morning on the news intro.

I wasn't sure if it was comedy dave mucking around.

They are emphasizing the BBC Radio 1 part. They do that on their 1tros(song intros) aswell. I don't like that vioceover

I don't like that vioceover

Everybody says that to start with.

I hated Holy to start with and the newsbeat stuff, but got to like it.

Also to be fair, when they say the 'BBC' on Radio 1 it sounds alot bigger and more professional....Will listen back to chappers and dave later probably to hear some stuff.

First impression, I don't like. But as someone else said I hated the female voice when she first started but grew to like her.

Does anyone know if all the Radio 1 jingles will have 'BBC' in it? Maybe as a replacement for 'National'?

I hate the new voiceover guy.

The new INMWT voiceover is getting worse and worse and the 1tros aren't much better.

I hate how the new male voice echos over the female on the news intro, like this:

MALE: DIGITAL

female: fm online

Female:This

Male: This is Radio 1

You heard it here first!

Yep BBC is replacing 'National' Radio 1 in the sweepers. My only issue is that the new guy sounds very... camp? compared to Latham! :D

Good god it does sound like Dave with some weird reverb. Wow, they really have gone for bland. One would assume they just couldn't afford Jody Latham! Never mind it'll grow on us I'm sure.

Turns out it's this chap - a student who is doing the voices: http://twitter.com/d_c_w/

I think they're going for the young sounding idea. They'll end up bringing that squeeky girl back from a few years ago too no doubt ;)

Yakkk that sounds AWFUL! I'm not just saying it because it's new- it ACTUALLY sounds terrible
I don't think it sounds terrible, in fact it sounds OK, but it makes Radio 1 sound younger (too young in my opinion) and also it doesn't make it sound very 'big' or authoritative. You wouldn't know by listening to the jingles that it's got 11 million listeners.

Sounds very very young and the new R1 jingles sound very very cheap in places....perhaps thats what they where going for?

They have gone very very bland now and lost the spark that R1 had always had....It just seems to be pitch bend after pitch bend with echo.....Zzzzz

I think the thing is they rush these new voiceovers out. Holly from Maidstone was all over the place in the first few weeks. She did eventually improve when they put in some work. Maybe that'll happen with this one.

He's not that bad on the 1tros it's the news he seems a bit out of place for. I notice there INMWT voiceovers were also used for Vernon's show at Silverstone. I think we'll be hearing more of them to balance things out in the next few months.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      By Lee E · Posted

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
