did radio 1 get bored of dev?

matt edmondson taking over as a cover presenter must put bosses in a difficult position with what to do with dev. they must have wanted a presenter like greg when they brought dev to radio 1 but haven't quite managed it.

Daft thread to be honest. No Radio 1 haven't got bored of Dev as they have just given him a slot 5 days a week that is famous for nurturing young talent and I imagine Dev will still do cover work just that often as he does get up at 3am five days a week. I also expect Matt will only cover people at the weekends, for the time being at least.

Silly thread really. R1 have been short of cover presenters for a while now. Greg has gone to afternoons so he won't cover anyone else's shows, Chappers has left so he can't do shows with Dave, neither Jo nor Edith seem to be likely to do any weekday cover and Coxy will go on maternity leave later in the year.

Don't think Devs that bad at all, he's young, has alot to learn. Greg James wasn't that great when he first started, when he first did afternoons I wasn't impressed but the more I listen to him now, the more I like him, he's simply got better. Dev will too. Gregs daytime slot gave him alot

of confidence.

Greggs show is fast becoming one of the best! It's simple yet feels so different to all the others.

I think Dev suited Weekend Breakfast more than filling in on afternoons. Fearne is growing on me but it always feels a bit random and cheap!

I think when you look at all the shows at R1 it shows how important the relationship between producer(s) and presenter is to the quality of the show! Chris, Scott and Gregg are all seem very attached to theirs.

I dislike dev as a presenter. But i also dislike Fearne Cotton.

Who's worse? There's only one way to find out.

F... oh it's fearne cotton.

Awh I love Fearne lol I think she's awesome. If we're talking about DJs that we dislike, as much as I love her, I don't think Sarah Cox is that great.. sorry LOL

    • He's alive and doing Calgon promotion! Those five weeks off have to pay somehow 😂
    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
