NONE until the twelfth day before xmas !

R1 shouldn't lower it's self to the commercial crap stations !

I think R1 actually did stuff v. late last year, as I recall.

That said, it's beginning to be Xmas choon overload this year now, with the radio and all the shops beginning to feel very harassing.

Much be really annoying being a sales assistant.

Forget the twelfth day before xmas, just end it at "NONE"

The only 2 I have any time for are Don't Let The Bells End (Darkness) because I find it quite funny, and Merry Christmas Everybody (Noel Gallagher version only) because I think he covers ir pretty well. I hate having to listen to any of the others.

Yep, I just try and block out those particular songs when they come on. Fortunately half my shift is done when the shop is closed so we put R1 over the tannoy instead

If it's what people want to hear Alan and judging by the 10 minute takeover some people do, then why shouldn't R1 play any?

its way to early, stations playing xmas songs in october, november & early december, if the songs are SO good why aren't they played all year 99% of the so called xmas songs have nothing to do with xmas anyway, its just pap to get people to spend there money.

anyway the best xmas song is;

xmas has become a joke now & all people care about is what gifts they receive, for little children its different, but people seem to have forgotten what xmas about !

im not religious at all, but i know what xmas is about & its nothing to do with trees & gifts.

The Power Of Love - Frankie Goes To Hollywood is by far the best xmas song, if you watch the video & just listen to the words, watch & learn every singer/band that is wanting to do a xmas song.

It's not too early anymore, it's December. Shops start putting stuff out in September which is far too early.

They aren't played all year round as they are festive songs, hence them being played when the season they are singing about is near.

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
