Good way for the main presenters to get the week after Xmas off 😁

This has been great for them really. Sian, Victoria, Dean and Sarah now have their own shows as a result of this and they still use some of them from last year to cover Early Breakfast on a Friday and Weekend Breakfast too where Adele isn't available.

On October 29th, Europe's Biggest Dance Show night returns for its third year with Danny Howard taking the helm following Annie Mac's departure. The event allows for several European stations to take turns and showcase their presenting talent and music simulcast across 8 stations from 6pm. Taking part this year is:

 

UK, BBC Radio 1

Sweden, SR P3

Germany, 1 Live Cologne and Fritz Berlin

Belgium, VRT Studio Brussel

Ireland, RTÉ 2fm

Austria, Radio FM4

Norway, NRK mP3

Finland, YleX

Adele Roberts, the current host of the Weekend Breakfast show and famous for being in Big Brother many years ago and on I’m a Celebrity in 2019 has been diagnosed with bowel cancer.

 

Very sad news, considering how young she is as well. Fingers crossed she gets through it and is back on the radio soon, I think she’s a very strong presenter. I Wish her well!

Oh jesus, thats awful!

Maisie Peters is hosting with Matt today and Joy Crookes is hosting with him tomorrow whilst Mollie is off.

 

Cel Spellman is back tomorrow to present Life Hacks with Vick for a couple of weeks.

 

For now, Arielle Free is covering for Adele Roberts this week followed by Vicky Hawkesworth for a few weeks.

A first time outing this week for Katie Thistleton and Dean McCullough presenting together as they cover for Scott Mills all week. Katie will be on her own to do the Chart on Friday.

Posted on another forum, Radio 1’s Christmas Day schedule:-

Does anyone know if Radio 1 has any plans to mark the 70th anniversary of the chart next November?

 

I vaguely remember them playing every No 1 to celebrate some big anniversary (although that might have been using the traditional 1969 date) as a kid and was wondering if they'd be looking at doing something similar next year? Although I'd imagine it'd be difficult to clear days on end of scheduling to do it.

any news 26th December gone silly chart of year update even end of year 31st

Honestly with it being on Xmas Eve I'd be tempted to do a full run down on telly with a few live performances simulcast with the radio show of I was the BBC. Something to stick the kids in front of while people are prepping Christmas dinner.

That’s why I don’t like it as there’s so much else to do them days I always miss it!

 

You are fasciabted with music being on tv this week Chart 😜!

Everyone expected they wouldn't want to play Christmas songs in the post-Christmas chart last year too and they still did! :kink: I assume normal chart on New Year's Eve.
