🤭 much better!

According to the tabloids, Matt and Mollie are moving to the Mon-Thur 1pm-3:30pm slot with Dean and Vicky moving elsewhere. This is yet to be confirmed by the BBC though.

Surprising but great news! Matt and Mollie are my favourites on the station, and I'm not a fan of Dean unfortunately.

Enjoy listening to Matt and Millie at the weekends. Be interesting to see if there is any truth to this.

Matt Edmondson and Mollie King are moving to host the 1.00 – 3.30pm afternoon show, Monday to Thursday on BBC Radio 1 from July.

 

 

Who will replace them in their current slot, Friday to Sunday afternoons will be announced soon. Mollie will continue to host Radio 1’s Future Pop at the new time of 8.00 – 10.00pm every Wednesday.

Gutted that Matt & Mollie are moving to the lunchtime slot, as I probably won’t ever catch them now, but good for them!

Arielle Free seems to have fell out of favour with the bosses by the look of things. I imagine her antics last year haven’t helped.

I actually think for Arielle this is truly the direction she should be going in? She's a DJ and a producer when it comes down to the bottom line, a huge fan of dance music and has really done well in showcasing the Radio 1 Dance shows / covering for Danny Howard and Charlie Hedges. Dropping from Early Breakfast to present an evening dance show is a step up imo

I remember Arielle presenting on CITV when I was 11/12-ish, it's strange seeing her become a proper DJ/producer now! :lol:

Tinea Taylor is to host BBC Radio 1’s Friday early breakfast slot during March, as part of a monthly rotation.

 

Tinea joins Radio 1 from KISS FM where she hosted the Hype Charts and presented on their sister station, Kisstory.

 

During her time at KISS FM she presented and DJ’d at global events such as Wireless, V Fest, the MOBO Awards, MTV EMAs and Fashion Week.

In the odd times I've listened to Kiss Tinea has been great to listen to so that's a great move for her

Lauren Layfield and Shanequa Paris are joining BBC Radio 1 as the new hosts of the station’s Life Hacks and The Official Chart: First Look on Sunday.

I know it’s just the name of the stage, but seeing Diplo & Eric Prydz headline the ‘New Music Stage’ is quite amusing :lol:

I'm still gutted that the Big Weekend is finally coming to somewhere near me after all these years and I'll be in New York at the time :(

Wow, that is a significantly better Friday lineup that last year imo! Both Diplo & Eric Prydz on the 2nd stage just doesn't feel right to me tho, especially since they're both two huge names in the world of dance music.

In fairness, Fridays have been Future Sounds-stage only in previous years!

Surprised Mabel is on there - wonder if she has new music out soon, she hasn’t been around for ages!

Eh.

 

Out of the two stages on the Saturday, I’d only be interested in Charli XCX and The Last Dinner Party. Possibly Rag too.
