Has anyone noticed that quite a few of these changes duplicate the ideas that Colin was doing on his show? On Mondays he would have in the company of ...an interview with a band or artist to get to know them better? He did intially start with documentaries on topics...but they became less frequent...but he did do ones like his interviews about what being a spy was really like. He also did the whole black hole thing discussing new music, and interpretations etc, which sounds similar to the show that Huw is presenting.

Quite a non biased story from the Sun

<roottag> DJ Steve Lamacq has been dropped from BBC Radio 1.

His Monday night indie music show will be replaced by a new series of documentaries called Story of the Noughties.

The 43-year-old, who had been with BBC Radio 1 for 16 years, will continue to present on BBC Radio 2 and digital station BBC 6Music.

Speaking about his show Steve said: "It was a wonderful opportunity to try and subvert pop music radio from within, which I hope we managed to do more often than not."

Last month the BBC announced Jo Whiley, 44, was to be replaced on Radio 1's prime mid-morning slot by Fearne Cotton.

Other changes announced yesterday include hip hop DJ Tim Westwood losing his Tuesday night show in favour of a new music, film and games review and discussion programme.

The 51-year-old, whose Saturday night show will be halved from four hours to two, will host the weekday drivetime show on BBC's digital station 1Xtra.

Ben Cooper, deputy controller of BBC Radio 1, said: "Radio 1 must continue to evolve and help sharpen our offer to younger audiences."

The changes will take effect from September 21.

New schedule looks ok to me. The description of Huw Stephens' show doesn't sound as good as his current one to me, but we'll see. Also only an hour of INDJWT is dissapointing though. Steve Lamaque going is kind of a shame but we can catch him on 6music so :) A real gripe is the repeats on a Sunday night though, radio1 need new talent, it's the perfect training ground.

Also not too sure about the Annie Mac/Pete Tong switch, I fear Annie Mac's show will become less diverse with less hip/hop etc as it has become in it's currently slot anyway :(

I'm happy Mistajam has got a better and less restrictive slot too.

      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.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
