Jamie does a full week

Saturday 8th August: Joel Dommett in for Dermot O'Leary Ellie Taylor in for Emma Willis Sunday 9th August: Ricky Ross (lead singer of Deacon Blue) is presenting Sounds Of The 70's. W/C Monday 10th August: Joel Dommett is doing a second week on drivetime. Clara Amfo sits in for Trevor Nelson on Thursday 13th August, with Mark Goodier sitting in on Friday 14th (Spoony's in Monday-Wednesday)

I was talking specially about summer ones. The Halloween ones are always mystery and never hunts (because they’re supposed to be small and quick presumably).

Weekend Breakfast can become a bit of a content wasteland though. Look at the difference in show that Matt & Mollie did there compared to weekend afternoons. I totally agree with your point though, both shows are interchangeable but I think it’s a good call to have Mylo & Rosie on for 5 mornings a week. I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere, but are we assuming they’ll still be Salford too? Could Emil being based in London mean that show is moved back there because weekends already have other Salford based shows?

Would the Murder Mystery from Halloween 2022 count?

Early and weekend breakfast I see as pretty similar. I expect Emil to do be doing quite a bit of weekday cover especially on going home so probably makes sense he does weekend breakfast.

That's a good point about Giant Detention but I wouldn't say there's been an equal mix. We've had Giant Jigsaw, Giant DJ Hunt and Giant Face Off which were all hunt ones and before Giant Detention I think the last mystery one would've been Summer Breakout before Vick and Jordan started drive time.

Now I think about it, I’m surprised Mylo & Rosie and Emil Franchi weren’t the other way around. Wouldn’t it make more sense for a duo with years of breakfast experience to do weekend breakfast rather than be wasted on early breakfast? Not that Emil isn’t also more than capable but out of him and M+R pairing it would make more sense if he was on earlies?

I didn't get a chance to reply. There aren't really many shocks though maybe; - James Cusack is a surprise exit but maybe he has something else lined up. A daily high profile show on a big network is likely to be better financially than being stuck on weekend breakfast at Radio 1 with no clear progression. - Going Home is clearly going to limp on as it is. - It feels strange Vicky Hawksworth is staying as no shows seem to have worked for her yet. The new set-up for her doesn't feel like it will last forever. Nothing else is much of a surprise, presenters leaving that have reached the natural end of their Radio 1 life, full-time shows for tried and trusted cover and a big promotion for Jeremiah who has hardly been off daytime radio over the past year to 18 months.

Of course, me with short memory, that's likely! 😆

I would imagine they would be covering Going Home whilst Katie is on holiday

Would they be covering Breakfast?

8th-9th August Mylo & Rosie in for Sam & Danni 9th August Pete Allison in for Lauren with Shanequa 10th-13th August Jerry in for Mollie with Matt Sam and Danni seems to be off their slots for a few weeks in August, wonder if they are covering elsewhere or just taking time off?

Saturday I reckon so, I don’t think they’d take him off lifehacks to do Sundays though but that is a possible could get away with a double shift.

14th August Mylo & Rosie in for Sam & Danni

Sorry I meant the week James is covering Greg, not next week.

I think it’ll be Emil or Lauren Layfield filling in when one presenter is off on daytime, if a whole team is off (or Greg), it’ll be Sam and Danni.

Didn't know that Conor worked for RadioX now! Could Ore Olukoga maybe cover for Emil on Weekend Breakfast he used to Cover this slot quite regularly

Good shout forgot some about a couple. Conor Knight’s at Radio X now so think safe to say won’t be him.

Sky EPG is still saying Greg's on it and the 'something is coming' challenge is happening on the 21st, so would be incredibly surprised if that's the case.

Here are my thoughts Mylo & Rosie - Joel Mitchell Greg James - Matt & Mollie/ Sam & Danni Charlie & Jerry - Vicky Hawksworth & Charley Marlowe/ Sian Eleri Matt & Mollie - Sam & Danni/ Vicky Hawksworth & Charley Marlowe Vick,Katie & Jamie - If any one of the trio is of then Emil Franchi will cover whoever is off, If all of the trio are of then Emil Franchi & Lauren Layfield will cover Jack Saunders - Sian Eleri/ Alyx Holcombe Danny Howard - Sarah Story/Arielle Free Sian Eleri - Tara Kumar/ Maddi Fearn Mollie King (Future Pop) - Maia Beth/ Jodie Bryants Arielle Free - Charlie Tee Sarah Story - Jaguar/Martha/ Matty Chiabi Daniel P Carter - Alyx Holcombe Alyx Holcombe - Jordan Blyth Benji B - Casskidd Pete Tong - Another famous DJ R1 Ideal Weekend Cover Emil Franchi - Ore Olukoga Vicky & Charley - If Charley is of pair Vicky with Minah, If Vicky is of pair Charley with Lauren R Sam & Danni - Who ever is off pair the other one with Minah Shannon Jack Saunders (Official Chart) - Lauren Layfield Charlie Hedges (Dance Anthems) - Connor Coates Jeremiah Asiamah (Soundsystem Party - DJ Kizzi Kenny Allstar - A famous rapper Charlie Tee - A D&B DJ Lauren Layfield (R1 Official Chart First Look) - Shanequa & Ore - If one of the presenters are off a newsbeat presenter will cover Sian Eleri - Casskidd Jess Izzat - Jordan Blyth

Interested to hear your thoughts on what cover might look like on Radio 1 so far struggling with some gaps. 4am Mylo and Rosie - Vicky H and Charley or Joel Mitchell Mon-Th Emil, Ore or new intake - I don’t think it’ll be down to just 1 pairing or individual though. Breakfast - Matt and Mollie, Mylo and Rosie or Sam and Danni 10am Live Lounge - Sian Eleri 1st choice then Sarah Story for Charlie, Ore for Jeremiah (unsure about the latter) 1pm Matt and Mollie - Lauren Layfield/Emil, Mylo and Rosie or Vickt and Charley 3.30 Going Home - Emil/Lauren L if one off or Sam & Danni duo 4pm Fri chart - Lauren L 6:00pm Jack - Sian rest as per Weekends 7am weekend breakfast Emil - Joel Mitchell 10am Vicky and Charley - Lauren R and/or Minah Shannon 1pm Sam and Danni - Ore or Lauren L - Emil or Mylo & Rosie (Friday only). 4pm first look - unsure Lauren R? 7pm Life Hacks - newsbeat team rest as per

I notice Nat and Vicky are doing anthems from 10am on Fridays, which was something mentioned in the summer press release. I wonder if Greg is off that week then, and Sam and Danni are in for them.

Friday 7th August 2026 James Cusack sits in for Sam & Danni Arielle Free sits in for Danny Howard (Pretty suprised Arielle is covering) Matty Chiabi sits in for Sarah Story (Her first time on Future Dance)

What??
