To wonder why there are so many irritating presenters now on Radio 1?

Any Radio 1 listeners out there who are not enjoying recent line-up changes?

Like going home with Vic, Katie, and Jamie. IMO such a poor combo, very limited chemistry or proper banter between them. It feels like Vic and Katie don't really like Jamie. And he barely seems to be there anyway, missing loads of shows. Vic and Jordan really seemed to get on and were entertaining. I find Katie dull. Jamie just doesn't riff with the other two though I did find him entertaining when he partnered up with Matt Edmondson.

I find Dean and Vicky very irritating, especially Vicky. And Nat.

I can't stand Jack whatshisname who presents the new music show and chart, he comes across as pretentious.

IABU?

Oh and yes, I know IABU for listening to R1 and not automatically expecting irritating chirpy wankers.

Yes I totally agree, hate Vic, Katie & Jamie, really don’t enjoy them and don’t feel they’re particularly funny or witty or engaging. I have a 50min drive to/from work and LOVE Greg James in the mornings - sets me up for the day. Shame there isn’t similar going home. Matt & Moll are lovely, love their friendship and warm banter.

I agree.
YANBU for listening to R1 though!
Dean & Vicky have been replaced by Matt & Molly - who I like. They’re a great pairing. D&V defo not.
Still not sure about Vick, Katie & Jamie - I agree that Jamie being AWOL doesn’t help at all.
I think they need to stop dicking about with the line-ups. And why does everyone now need to be paired / tripled up? It seems very rare to have a single DJ.
