That's good news, mainly.

Great to have more speech output on Radio 1, and Nihal's new show will hopefully be very interesting. I am very much looking forward to that.

Also, I did never really like Tong's show, whereas Mac's Mashup is brilliant, so there is no gap Friday night's in which I have to avoid R1.

The rest of the changes do not really affect me, although I would have liked Steve Lamacq to stay...

Won't miss Westwood's INMWT. If they asked me I would advise them to change Saturday nights. If I do not like some kind of music at all, it's that hophop thing...

Don't see the point in siulcasting all of Saturdays programmes, if I want to listen to 1xtra, then I will.

Not to sure on Annie starting the weekend but glad that Judge Jules is staying his show is sounding great at the moment (although he would be better on his old Saturday slot).

I agree, but...

1. 1Xtra is only digital whereas many people only have access to analogue radio's.

2. Radio 1 is about every genre of popular music, so even though 1Xtra exists, I think that they have to fairly represent urban music on an equal basis to dance/rock etc.

I like the idea of a review show- that's just the sort of thing I thought they should do on Edith's show instead of the constant boring film talk. Shame it's with Nihal though, I find him intensely irritating.

I'm not surprised Annie's moving shows with Pete Tong- he has been a bit sidelined since they introduced 'Floorfillers' (which I think is a waste of time, only there to fit in with the 7 o'clock finish), though I do much prefer the Mash Up. It would be nice to have it on Saturdays too, with more indie in there- that would be a good alternative. Who is going to start the weekend now though?! And what of Vernon Kay's plans to be the new Pete Tong?!

Obviously having Annie cover Pete lately has been a test and adding 100,000 listeners will have sealed the deal. Long night for Nihal on a Tuesday though. Although he will also probably be the cover boy now as discussed. INWT is no great loss. At least Zane stays firmly where he is.

good changes! You can see how the daytime changes fit into it now and the whole look of the station is much better with the full picture.

Annie Nightingale is a good move!

Will really miss Rob Da Bank on a Sunday night though as he was great at that time - his 2 shows where immense, and its not a great replacement - 4 hours of repeated material! I always thought he would have been good in the colin slot.

Annie/Pete is a good switch too!

Looking forward to it!

    • 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
    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
