This is sad new for the show. I honestly dont know if the current drive time show can survive. I dont like Beccy and Scott on their own and dont usally listen, chappers is the one who really brings the best out of scott on this show. As said, it would be like Dave leaving Moyles show - it would just loose something that cant be replaced.

Too soon for a schedule shake up again, and so unless the show takes a drastic change in style and direction they would be looking at a replacement I hope, and in usual style they will be slowly introduced i imagine. Im assuming it doesnt neccessaily have to be the sports presenter.

I would be expecting David Guerredo to cover Carrie though surely?

Totally agree, really don't know how the show can survive without Chappers, he brings the best out of Scott and Becky. When it's just Scott and Becky it's very bland. If I was Scott Id be doing everything I could to keep Chappers. Going by Scotts recent Twitter post that someone will quit in Thursday it would appear that we won't know to Thursday for definate who's going, I think it would be a disgrace if Chappers leaves in Thursday witout as much as a days notice. I really really hope this is a setup and Chappers dosent go or else that'll be the end of the road for the show for me. Chappers must stay, even if it's part time

Isn't there a girl called Alison who used to do sport sometimes? I'd have thought a female would be better candidates for replacing Carrie.

Alison Mitchell. I think she'd be too tied up with 5Live stuff to do a whole 6 months or so of cover.

Either Tamasin Ford or Tamsyn Kent (I can't remember which one,) does sport on the big Newsbeats on occasion if they are strapped for cover, so they could be options if they're looking for a female replacement.

Greg Dawson has been known to also. He however happens to be male.

:yeahthat:

but i'm pretty sure it will be chopstick. Has anyone else noticed how he is getting more like he doesn't care if he gets sacked, and that he's there for a laugh. I think this was most apparent during the phonecall yesterday where he urged a girl to play truant, even after scott said not to.?

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
