Quite a good show as well

Doubt she'll make it on Radio1 though, unless there's a resurgance in 'hardcore' or Kutski gets a more mainstream show, she's good but not better that Kutski and there's only room for 1 hardcore DJ on radio1.

Im dissapointed Kutski hasn't had a chance to get more exposure over christmas actually, his enthusiasm is infectious and admirable, I think Zane fans would really take to him. I never really liked 'hardcore' before a Kutski trailer now I listen quite often. Hoping for a specialist takeover in May now! :P

I think its an odd schedule for xmas... kind of thrown together. Sad that they have gone for a lot of the pre-record stuff again, and its not really in with the "teeny" image that they have been promoting the last few months.

Weird that Fearne is the only DJ who is staying on air for the whole 2 weeks of christmas?!

Looking forward to Westwood on drive!

Will be good to hear Rob Da Bank on air a bit more, he is so under-used!

Also congrats to Dev who has breakfast for the week between - I think thats a big land for him!

There is no real sign of any of the names that people tune in for - moyles (no suprise) mills, edith, jo, vernon, reggie, even Greg isnt around much, and Im shocked that grimmy, and annie, have got a lot of the time off - I would have thought it be perfect switch opportunity! Also where are chappers and dave?!

Odd, very odd!

obviously nobody listens to radio over the christmas period. So why not just use repeats and let the less well known presenters have the practice.

its no surprise, R1 always do it, and I think it just shows what the station and presenters think about the listeners, to most of them it is just a job and they would rather be at home than in the studio. ok some people do have a proper christmas break, but hundreds of people dont..so I cant see why apart from Scott and Fearne all the other regular DJs all need a fortnight off at the same time.

Why isn't Scott on during Christmas and New Year. Radio 1 could have made him do a pre - recorded show at least. I'm not a big fan of Greg James .

Will Scott b back in January 2010 , Jono.

Make him do a pre-record?

You mean, tie him to the studio at gun point and force him to record a show?

take control

--> Getting the season into full swing, Nick Grimshaw hosts the BBC Radio 1 Festive Festival on Monday 21 December, 7-11pm, live from the BBC's Maida Vale Studios.

Serving up a selection of musical treats from some of 2009's established and hotly tipped acts, the show cements Nick's growing reputation as a supporter of new music in his nightly evening show, from 10pm Monday to Thursday on Radio 1.

The artists confirmed for the festive celebrations are: Simian Mobile Disco, Mumford and Sons, Plan B, The XX, Enter Shikari and Marina and the Diamonds.

Each act is set to perform three live tracks from the studios between 7-10pm. For the last hour from 10pm, Radio 1 DJs Kissy Sell Out and Toddla T take over with special mixes to get listeners into the party spirit.

Nick says: "We're bringing a whole host of my favourite bands from 2009 – ones who have shaped the year in music and my show over the past few months. The XX have broken through the hype and made my favourite album of the year, so I'm thrilled to have them on the bill.

"Simian Mobile Disco returned this year with an album full of plinky plonky brilliance so we had to have them. Enter Shikari, probably the most loved band by my listeners, who will tear it up as will Plan B, who will be playing new stuff for the first time on the night.

"Mumford and Sons are really going to bring the festive vibes of the night and Marina and the Diamonds the glamour and a taster of a break through album of 2010. It's such an honour to be broadcasting from Maida Vale and I can't wait to bring this festive special to everyone."

Last year's celebration, hosted by Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens was also live from Maida Vale Studios and included performances from amongst others Glasvegas, Chipmunk, Florence and the Machine and Friendly Fires, all performing for the In New Music We Trust Christmas Party.

    • 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.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • 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. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
