Aled, quick question, did Radio 1 used to have all those different types of producers back when Chris was on afternoons? I know that on air you heard the BA & Producer and also heard Chris talk about the Executive Producer every so often but did they used to have a Day Producer, Assistant Producer, etc. back then or is this a more recent thing?

I've devised a poll on the main board for the best Brekkie Show caller. The list at this moment in times stands at: PAPA, Stevotrash, Adam from Car Park Catchphrase, Claire [Shetland], Rob from Stoke, and the lovely Angelo.

Have you got a favourite thats on the list or one that hasn't made it on yet?

Hey Johnny

Every show on Radio 1 has a Producer and an Assistant Producer - (although not every show has it's own - sometimes the producer or assistant producer works on more than one show). The bigger shows also have a Unit Assistant - they work in more admin areas and work across 2 or 3 shows at a time. The Broadcast Assistant role of the olden days was split up into a UA role (admin) and a Assistant Producer role (production assistant to the producer).

Breakfast is the only show to have two producers. One show producer (Hello!) I work a 4:30am - 1pm shift and a Day Producer (Sam/Rachel) who works a daytime shift.

This is for two reasons, firstly the amount of material, station messages, guests, projects and Outside broadcasts the breakfast show does is much much more than the next show - mainly because of the size of the audience and its bigger budget - this would be too much for one producer to do on his/her own especially when they only have 2 hours or so in the office to arrange it all.

Therefore the structure of the show is:
Chris - Presenter
Dave - Co-Presenter
Aled - Show Producer
Sam - Day Producer
Matt - Assistant Producer
Dom - News
Tina - Sport

Hope that helps.

Aled,

[GottaBeAndrew]

Hi Aled,

I remember a page back or so you were talking about the programme for the show on iPlayer. Just about to start listening to today's show, thought I'd give it a quick look.

Aled, thanks for the reply, interesting stuff, also explains why the term "Broadcast Assistant" isn't used anymore.

Ant is the King of documentaries at Radio 1. He has his own office behind my desk and mixes package, dance mixes and documentaries for Radio 1. He does the podcast because he loves the show so much - he's so quick at his job that he offers to do it for us. Technically it should be the down to the team to do it ourselves. He is also a Producer but for docs.

Yes

[Yudster]

Aled, you can't give a straight answer to a straight question in that way - what will people find to speculate about if you start doing stuff like that?!
