Yeah they've been doing it for a few weeks now. I've mainly noticed it on Greg James on Friday afternoon. Another attempt to to appeal to the yoof I expect. I'm also getting sick of hearing Tinchy Stryder, Chipmunk and Taio Cruz on a loop the whole time. Radio 1 does sound quite Kiss-esque at the moment.

I've only heard it on Gregs show so far and it REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY annoys me! I wonder whether it was his idea or management's?

I like remixes, but only during dance shows (evening). I want to hear the proper songs during the day!

Radio 1 is like a poor version of Kiss during a lot of the day nowadays. Moyles is the only show that truly beats Kiss. Kiss imaging is also far superior, but I would be biassed :)

I've noticed this on Fridays a few times- it is intensely irritating. If I wanted to hear an inferior version of a song I'd listen to Floorfillers. I can't stand the vast majority of remixes; if I like a song I want to hear the original- the main appeal to me is the music, rather than the lyrics stuck over a different beat. It seems to me Radio 1 thinks most of its audience are into chav music- hence Cobra Starship et al being played at every opportunity. Stop this remix madness!

I don't see the problem to be honest, they play the same versions of songs 6 days a week, so why not have a little bit of variance on a friday. You lot are just grumpy and don't like the change.

I could understand if it was a spectacular mix. But Black Eyed Peas Boom Boom Pow without the substance is just random and doesn't make me want to consider going out.

No idea as there's no tracklistings. It was played yesterday and I was quite confused.

It was the Will.I.Am megamix of Boom Boom Pow

      Summer on Radio 1

      By DC · Posted

      I think they should just bring that back as was. It's been nearly 20 years, so do it with a whole bunch of new DJ's.

      I think this year has taught us we know nothing 🙂 Nobody would ever have credibly predicted Jordan leaving and all the changes that followed.   I have another interest outside radio and it is exactly the same - the stuff you never expect to happen is exactly what does.

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.
