Radio One evening schedule changes


The second phase of the overhaul of Radio One has been completed this week, bringing about significant changes to the station's evening schedule.

The core change sees Zane Lowe's show move from 8pm to 7pm from Monday to Thursday. Radio One head of specialist, live and speech Ian Parkinson says, "Zane is the entry point to our specilist shows."

Asian and metal shows have moved out of graveyard slots to mid-evening primetime positions, which will be followed on Tuesdays to Thursdays by the John Peel show, which has been moved back by an hour to begin at 11pm.

Mike Davies' punk-metal show The Lock Up leaves its 2am Tuesday morning slot and will now be broadcast at 9pm on Tuesday nights. Bobby and Nihal's Asian beats show will fill the Wednesday night 9pm slot, while newcomer Annie MacManus presents Thursday night's 9pm dance show.

Meanwhile, Dave Pearce has lost his weekday drivetime show, although his Sunday night Dance Anthems programme will continue. Seb Fontaine's Saturday evening slot is being replaced by Judge Jules. Similarly, Trevor Nelson loses his Sunday show, but gains an hour on his R&B chart show on Saturdays.

The only change I care about is that "Coxy" is finally on maternity leave!


At last, no more annoying babbling in the afternoon

I haven't listened to Radio One for about 15 years.

Radio1 has gone down the pan lately.

Chris Moyles should regain his afternoon show but have it in the style of how it was back in 99 when it was much funnier.
