😂 Are you actually being serious? There is more chance of Scott going back on Radio 1 Afternoons than him offering his services for free on a community station or a syndicated show You don’t go from the biggest radio station in Europe to working for free! I really doubt he would be that desperate to be on the radio -
No more on this. I took the plunge with Aiir and decided to upgrade to Playoutone Pro as their standard system is not being suported anymore which is what I use to make shows at home. That has cost me about £68 a month on top of other operating costs I spend about £180 a month to run two shows. Was thinking about this proposition though and Scott potentially could (I know he has mics and a rodecaster duo at home that he used during lockdown when he was broadcasting from home and must have a music library from his DJ sets) make a syndicated show and offer it out to stations, my two dance programmes are on about 200 combined now most in the UK, some US, Canada and European so it is not beyond the realms of possibility Scott could make "The Scott Mills show" and syndicate it to SSDAB commercial stations and community radio. He would likely be unable to make money from it mind. I knew one syndicator that was on about 300 stations announced he would be charging a fiver or tenner a show and 250 dropped his show for their generic playlist and some came to me instead... hahaha. Still if he is making £250 a week from it fair play to him. It's ironic as there is a really sucessful community station based near Scott called Chiltern voice who I am sure would snap him up if he was willing to volunteer for them. I know of three SSDAB and CR stations that reached out to Scott on the day he was sacked offering him a slot, but none of them paid work.

Gary was on the 24/25 BBC pay list in the £178,000 to £184,000 bracket with Sounds Of The 80's and cover listed. -
Yeah not sure what they charge per show, I assume Gary is on a pay as you go type agreement to cover him outside of SOT80s, but he does do 6-8 weeks a year for Vernon as well and did do Drive and Trevor cover for a bit as well so maybe he gets about half a years work out of it, so maybe he is on kind of a half salary to keep the cash flowing and he comes in for those cover slots, but I would imagine at the moment he is outside of that arrangement (although last week he was booked to cover Vernon and ended up on breakfast) I can't see him becoming the drive host though
-
I think Shaun Keaveny is a talented broadcaster and respect his shows but I don't think he fits covering Jo. Edith Bowman has a better vibe. I need Jo's enthusiasm to keep me awake at that time of the evening! -
I think it will be OJ all the way, changed my opinion on it, they won't want to drastically change the show, All Request Friday will stay as it is, I think OJ gets drive and RIchie gets overnights all week, and they bring a new travel presenter onto drive with OJ (Bobby Prior back on weekdays?)

Do you know what I was thinking of other scenarios. Maybe Rylan gets it Mon-Fri and then Gary gets all Request Friday at least that way Gary has been rewarded for this tricky period 🤔 -

That all seems likely. My mate who i do radio with loves Rylan too and says his shows are a lot like Coxy real fun chaos. You enjoy the personality rather than the format -

Again not for me i wish the BBC would do the opposite of Global/Bauer and just keep going for TV Personalities. It worked with Vernon and feels like they just wanna go down the route of who will get them the most social views -
I think OJ is great and like him to get it. Lot of comments on socials say the same. Maybe Radio 2 mix it up a bit. Monday to Thursday 2:00 Afternoons with Trevor 4:30 Drivetime with OJ from Salford Friday 2:00 All Request Friday with Gary Davis 4:00 Weekend Starter with Rylan Ellie take over Rylan on Saturday of he doesn't want to do both. -
Rylan's great, and i love listening to his Saturday afternoon show but... drivetime is a totally different style of show. Drivetime, like breakfast is quite slick with features, timings etc. The format of Rylan's show sits perfectly for the time of week it's on. I think considering the circumstances, they'll probably will try not to rock the boat.. and we may get the most obvious 'safe' options, therefore OJ Borg to drivetime seems most likely . He'll be familiar with the drivetime audience considering the amount of times he's sat in. He's been on overnights 8 years now so a new presenter in that slot will be more logical than the suggestion of taking Spoony off The Good Groove after only a year of it running 4 days a week. It would then possibly mean Richie Anderson could take overnights across the week. Radio 2 clearly like him, to the point they gave him the Sunday into Monday overnight show in addition to his travel reporting duties.
-
Possibly. I recall Josh Widdicombe said something on a show last year (think it was The Last Leg) that he would like a show on Radio 2. Shaun Keaveny mentioned on Saturday that he is doing that slot for the 'foreseeable' so any permanent change to that show might not be for some time yet.
