September 14Sep 14 Author Checking out Emil's first shows from the weekend, he's such a natural voice for radio I really do enjoy listening to him. Thought he was great at Absolute and he's certainly proved himself at Radio 1 too. A well deserved slot which I shall endeavour to catch up on as often as I can.

Shame James Cusack had to go too to make way for Emil, would have been great if there'd been a place for both of them. Edited September 14Sep 14 by HiyaLuv!

The few times I did listen to Dean and Vicky in the afternoon it was a very drab and miserable experience compared to what came before.Did feel like D+V were 'stalking horses' put there to absorb all the listener anger and disappointment before the real successors M+M came in. I did feel sorry for Dean when he was doing his farewell speech and said "my heart hurts today". But as you say, once you've been demoted from daytime to early breakfast, your R1 days are numbered!Feels weird that Aled is sacking so many of his own recruits or at least happily letting them go.

September 18Sep 18 I caught a bit of 'How Bad Do U Want Me' on R1 earlier - any idea what caused Greg to play a Gaga album track?!

Little Monsters were desperate for it to happen and she or her team gave up with MAYHEM. This happened TWICE for this song alone.
September 19Sep 19 Did Radio 1 mean to play Clementine Douglas - Trust at 13:24 then play Sonny Fodera, MK & Clementine Douglas - Asking at 13:35 or did they not realise Clementine sings both of those tracks?

September 20Sep 20 I don't understand why Radio 1 won't let Vicky present alone rather than have her on her third pairing. Katie Thistleton used to do a brilliant solo weekend show which I miss and to be honest I wish Radio 1 had more solo shows. Ditch the 'Group Chat' and rename the show to Vicky Hawkesworth and it would be great!

Vicky could def do it on her own for sure, Nat and her was a great pairing but her and Charley are uhm… interesting!

September 29Sep 29 Jack, Sian and Alyx are in Cardiff for New Music Live tonight meaning no live shows until 4am as they have pre-recorded them. That is bad. I would've got Arielle Free to cover Jack, Maddi Fearn to cover Sian and Jordan Blyth to cover Alyx. Edited September 29Sep 29 by earthisturning
September 29Sep 29 oh and while we're here, Vick is coming back next week as hinted at by Katie and Emil, as she's supposedly doing the John Cena kids ask interview with Katie. Unclear when Jamie's back.
September 30Sep 30 @lewistgreen Just to let you know that there’s a whole load of new R1 Anthems episodes beginning on Monday so hopefully the station will start to feel less stale from next week!

Every link was "that was Artist - Song on BBC Radio 1, now it's Artist - Song on BBC Radio 1".

Saturday at 16:523 days Bobbi Bunker has replaced Luke Carr on Weekend Early Breakfast which is probably for the best?
