I think they know Annie attracts a younger audience so it may make sense to move from Scott's Mix (or whatever the Floor Fillers will now be called) to Annie Mac and then move to the old school DJs like Tong and Jules later in the night.

I like Annie's show. I can see the appeal. But I like the tradition of Tong opening the weekend.

i think they want to push the likes of jules out and pete tong simply because of their age. not taking into account that they still do the job better than anyone else. with all do respect (she is a good dj) pete tong was a bigger name at creamfields than annie mac. i think they want annie mac in the 7pm slot so they can get her to play rock and hippie music, they would find it a lot harder to manipulate pete tong into it.

on the grid.

Nah, her show has got more "dancey" recently if anything, ableit DnB and Dubstep which is MASSIVE (with the youth?) at them moment (look at DnB making the radio playlist recently like Danny Bird, Sub Focus, Chase and Status) rather than commerical and house like Tong. The show used to feature a lot more hip-hop (the type that was too old skool for Westwood and not impactual enough for Zane like Plastic Little). I hope it doesn't change a bit when it moves!!!

I'm looking forward to annie starting the weekend, i was listening to her when i was on the way back from Newbury a while ago, in a coach travelling along the back roads around the mountains while the sun was setting. Perfect soundtrack.

I think generally her show would be better at 7pm anyway, though.

They will promote some of the DJ's from INDWT, most likely to be Jaymo & Andy George from the present lot.Remember Kutski, Kissy Sell out came from this show as well as former radio 1 dj's Eddie Halliwell and the Trophy Twins.

Although Tong and Jules are getting older they are still respected in their field, look at Judgement Sunday's in Ibiza, one of the biggest nights on the island. Judge Jules's podcast has been in the top 10 podcasts (in UK) since it launched at the begining of the year.

      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.
