Dev has just announced that he’s leaving Radio 1 and his last show will be on the 20th December! I wonder where he’ll be off to?

Radio 1 will be under pressure to have a woman to replace Dev, following the recent departures of Alice and Maya and replacing them with more Jordan and solo Dev. I think Arielle would be good in this slot.

Oh now that is a real shame. I don't often listen when he's on but when I do he's a great laugh

Jordan North has also tonight been announced as being on I’m a Celebrity this year! Really looking forward to that, I love Jordan’s sense of humour

The clear out continues with Huw Stephens and Phil Taggart leaving at the end of the year.

and Dev!

and Dev!

 

Dev’s mentioned a few posts above.

 

Shame to see Huw go. I hope he can move over to 6 music at some point.

Another change announed this morning as Gregg James goes five days a week goes back to 5 days a week for breakfast.

BBC Radio 1 is changing its schedule for 2021 with Greg James going five days a week and five new presenters joining the line-up.

 

The news comes as Dev, Huw Stephens and Phil Taggart are set to leave the network in December.

 

 

In addition, Adele Roberts will move from Weekday Early Breakfast to Weekend Breakfast, whilst Arielle Free will become the new host of Radio 1 Dance and Radio 1’s Early Breakfast, moving from her current role as host of Weekend Early Breakfast.

 

Greg moving to five days a week is a U-turn on a decision made in 2018 to start weekends on a Friday morning, with Nick Grimshaw going Monday to Thursday only when he hosted Breakfast.

 

Dev and Alice have since hosted Breakfast Friday to Sunday.

 

Early Breakfast on Fridays will become a brand new show to try new presenters, with a different host each month.

 

The first to take on the rotation will be Joel Mitchell, followed by Mollie Finn and Fee Mak in subsequent months.

 

Joel, who has previously presented on BBC Radio Leeds, and Fee, who hosts the drivetime slot on London’s Westside Radio, both hosted their first ever show on Radio 1 in 2019 when they were selected from over 1,100 applicants to take on a guest slot on the station over the festive period.

 

Mollie will take on the slot as her first job in radio after previously volunteering as a presenter at Bournemouth University’s student station Nerve Radio, following in the footsteps of Radio 1’s Greg James who hosted his first show on Radio 1 the day after graduating from university.

 

Two brand new presenters are joining, with Sian Eleri becoming the new host of Radio 1’s Chillest Show and Gemma Bradley becoming the new host of BBC Music Introducing on Radio 1.

 

Sian Eleri, who hails from Caernarfon, currently works at BBC Radio Cymru. Like Joel Mitchell and Fee Mak, she hosted her first show on Radio 1 in 2019 after applying for the station’s festive guest presenter initiative.

 

Northern Irish presenter Gemma Bradley joined BBC Radio Ulster in 2019 as the host of Across The Line, the station’s weekly show dedicated to uncovering the freshest new musical talent. She will make her debut on Radio 1 in the new year.

I didn't realise Huw was still on Radio 1, shame to hear about both him and Phil Taggart leaving.

With Adele moving to Weekend Breakfast, Matt & Mollie are moving to the 1-4pm slot.

I think these are some really good changes tbh. Sad to see Phil Taggart go though

So Scott isn’t doing the chart on Xmas day!

He's always done the breakfast show so I'm not surprised they've asked Katie really

I read somewhere that he was doing both shows!

I read somewhere that he was doing both shows!

 

He’s on the schedule as doing both shows, however it’s been confirmed that Katie is doing the chart, might be why you’ve seen it!

Knew it was something like that, gonna miss him doing the chart but he will be playing all the same songs he played in the morning lol

Schedule has now been updated with the confirmed guest presenters over the Xmas to New Year week

Including the first ever deaf presenter on radio!

A sad day today as Dev, Phil Taggart and Huw Stephens all present their final shows!

 

Some minor changes on the Xmas schedule. Katie Thistleton is now presenting Clara's show this week and Sophie K is covering for Jack Saunders too.

 

Significantly, the 'First Look' Chart on 27th December has been replaced by a short Chart of the Year 2020 countdown which I'm sure will please a lot of you!

Yeh it means they won’t have to play Xmas songs after Xmas day!

 

Is the normal chart still on on New Year’s Day?
