I think the reason that this kind of thread is appearing more is that the regular, current and loyal radio 1 listeners are unhappy with the new schedule. I dont know about anyone else but i am finding myself listening at moment out of habbit, hoping it will get better, and also that im not quite ready for steve wrights love songs!

Personally I think we will have more chnages next year, the station isnt sounding right, they havent found a balance and it doesnt seem to be working weekdays. I think we could see Moyles leave, the station isnt going where he is anymore. Mills will take over for one year only as an interim replacement until someone else is found or ready (reggie maybe?) and then he will leave or move to weekends, chart show etc. No one has mentioned Grimmy but I have a feeling he may be scotts replacement, or atleast be moved more into daylight (zane maybe?).

For me it will be this:

Early: Dev stays put (but if he left would we even notice - maybe they will slip someone new in here?)

Brekkie: Moyles Leaves, Mills as interim but Reggie Long term

Morning: Fearne will stay - I think she is in for the long run

Afternoon: If greg moves he will take drive, and he will be replaced by either Annie Mac or Coxy if she comes back (I doubt it though- i think this might be here final stint, and we see her as cover on radio 2 shows as they appeal to the more 25+ rather than the 35+ when chris evans takes over

Drive: If not greg it will be Grimmy

Evening: I dont think Zane will leave the station but I think he may take a different role, maybe move later on as they push the specialist/alternative & new music stuff out of the way. I could see a swap with grimmy or Huw taking this slot if grimmy gets daytime duties.

Weekend: Edith will stay as breakfast, vernon will go and we will get a new presenter who will take sat & sun 10-1. Jo will stay, she sounds good, as good as she has ever been and has a few more years left in her. Moving to this slot was great for her and it has totally freshened her up and given a new lease of life on radio 1. Maybe Vernon for request show?

, if not it will be a 1 xtra dj promoted (max maybe - oooh forgot about her she could do afternoons maybe or take over switch duties.

Wow, i didnt even mean to write all that but it just goes to show how things at R1 arent as we want that we all write this about it.

But at the same time, we are staying loyal and listening because I think we all know there are more chnages to come, and they are in the middle of one of those transitional periods that happen every 5 or 6 years at the station. I mean who can rememebr when May left - that was a sad day and we all thought it was down hill (well i did anyway)!

I agree actually. Best post so far.

I forgot, btw, that it's the BBC Trust who decide on the "age" thing. I've had this explained to me before. I still don't think it's right.

Once R1 was all about the new music, now it's all about keeping the UK's 10 year olds happy. :-/

You won't get on air, I can assure you!! Unless you lie about your age.

R1 producers ask ages when they ring you back about texts. I've had this happen a few times this year. Tell your real age, and the conversation ends. Fact. (Although they are polite enough, but you can tell 42 is not a good look for R1's ears).

it is interesting to see what people think, ive found myself listening to R1 a lot less this year, and think that something odd is happening with Chris Moyles and Scotts shows .

I dont enjoy listening to Chris's interactions with Aled especially, it makes Chris sound

much more adult and sensible than he used to sound. partly because aled's unusual sense of humour makes it harder to bounce ideas and jokes back. aled tends to take everything really seriously. He didnt seem to get the humour in the fact that he compared himself to Pete tong the other morning, when he was talking about doing a gig that no-none turned up to!

Another thing that is really irritating is that I think, if the powers that be really want R1 to be a station for young people then surely 80% of ALL the staff should be in the correct age bracket, including performers and producers etc. They made all this fuss about the switch shows being for teenagers between 13- 17 and then had all their usual staff who I assume are older than 17, all turning up and talking about it on air as well. If you want to make it into something for young people only, then give them the ownership of the station...

Use people like Jono and some of the members on this board to run R1!

I saw Fearne interviewing Peaches Geldorf the other day and was struck by how much older and patronising Fearne seemed to the much younger Peaches. And although I do think peaches is irritating...she is part of a different generation than most of the current media experts! Part of a generation of teenagers, who watch DVDs and listens to music via word of mouth, and part of a generation that rarely watch TV or listens to radio.

1. It'll probably be shite if they did that

2. John Peel had one of the youngest audience profiles on R1. How does that fit in to "only young people should speak to young people".

That's it. Right there. I knew I couldn't quite put my finger on it. That's what the BBC Trust are focusing too much on, trying to actually relate to younger people!!

Radio 1 was fantastic around c. 2003/2004 in my opinion. If only it could go back to the format of that time.
