I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

Talking on this - I wonder who Scott's main cover will be, we have had OJ Sara and Mark in for him now since he took over? curve "ball" would Zoe become the cover now she's established back on weeeknds? or do you think they are easing Sara back into it ready for a two week holiday in Summer? Sara was the main cover for Evans's tenure and got dropped when Zoe took over for Fearne then Nikki and Gaby they seem to have moved away from this "outsider" coming in to cover and especially now not Gaby or Nikki as they have other gigs

It's a good package but sung by the House Gospel Chior so they can always resing a bit of it I wonder if it will get a refresh for 2026? Zoe's seeemed to be refreshed every year although in her tenure stayed as the same theme and of course he will have Christmas versions

He'll for sure be there for the next birthday celebration in 2027 to host a special breakfast show

I think Greg will be around for a long time - I reckon the inner geek wants to break Moyles record then go on for ten years and maybe quit in 2028

I see Charlie is listed on Dance Anthems on that day but she is doing her "All the anthems" show in Brighton 230-730pm so either will be more Glastonbury coverage or Connor

Sounds like sort of we are going back to Moyles style themes - I hope so and that his show has a big intro, like Gregs does and that Moyles used to have and Chris Evans had on R2

Seems Spoony has had brain surgery over Christmas. Hope he is ok. Nice to see OJ has some weekday cover slots as well. Wonder if Mark will be the go to cover now with Scott? Gary in for Vernon as well.

Maybe they havent adjusted the schedule pages yet but that could be the first week of the new shows, Breakfast and Afternoons are not labelled

Take that back was 14th January so maybe there will be 2/3 weeks of Gaby covering

I see Gaby is covering breakfast so I assume she is covering the following week as well and Scott starts on like the 6th or something? do you remember when Zoe started it was like the 2nd or 3rd of Jan 2019 wasn't it?

I think its posted on DS that OJ wanted away from overnights so he is the looser in this i see, unless they are waiting for Coxy to leave then he could take drive

Loved the review and gave you a subscribe as well

I believe his husband is on the Prod Squad for Zoes show

I bet they have seen each other in the kitchen when songs are playing Althogh Greg is on until 11 at the moment and Scott is on until 0930 so he will be home before Greg finishes Interesting they have only now let him cover, I can only imagine that this is trying Scott out as permenent cover or Gabby Roslin and Gary Davies are not about Maybe they will now use Scott (hoping so) going forward for breakfast cover ala R1 and someone else like Gary or OJ or Spoony covers 2-4 all the time, which would make sense going back to the Evans era for the first time when Sara was the permenent cover Something tells me that Sara will get breakfast next because she hasn't covered in Zoe's time at all

Heard a bit of Connor in the car just now sounding good but does he have to costantly remind us he is in for Charlie? we KNOW it is her show IMO Chalie is winding down with Dance Anthems Connor is being lined up

Was Danny live tonight on Dance?

Myself 7 - 10 LOL (I do a breakfast show in fact I am on air weekdays from 7am to 3pm but it's a bit narcassistic listening to myself, so I will say 7-10 because that is when I am likelt to be live if I am so I am kinda forced to) 10-1 Greg and RMC R1 1-2 Matt & Mollie R1 2-4 Scott R2 4-7 Mistajam CD 7-9pm Cap Dance Friday 7-1030 same 1030-11 Greg 11-12 Cap Dance 11am mix 12-1 My own mid morning show 1-2 My own Dance show (It airs on a station in the UK at 1pm Fri) 2-4 Scott R2 4-6 Mistajam Cap Dance 6-10 Danny and Sarah R1 Sat 7-1030 Sam and Dani 1030 - 4 nothing 4-7 Dance Anthems 7-10 Capital Weekender

Rosham appears to be prducing M&M

Surely he could have just carried on beat or repeat? unles Arielle is taking that to R1D. What he should do is a feature that gets the brekfast presenter involved about 0640, something like bangers and play the track at 650.

Yeah it was a bit messy in the old days - you would have at least 6 weeks of Scott and chris covering for Moyles/Grimmy in the year, as well as odd days, so many times specially during the Grimmy era they were called last minute to swap into Breakfast Then theywould both have about 6-7 weeks of a year as well, and many times not together so if Chris was off Scott would do the show solo and if Scott was off Chris would work with Matt, Alice, Jordan etc Many times Scott would start his own leave after two weeks on Breakfast as well so you would get 4-5 weeks of no Scott on drive or lunchtime I worked out just on the standard leave quota Scott was not on his own slot for three months a year plus any ad hoc days Grimmy used to call in sick, take a short notice day off etc (the one i remember vividly was the one where Grim was injured in the football match on the Sunday)

Suspect it will be new editions but not live and interactive Just a loads of blocks of classic anthems with Charlie recording links at 15 min intervals maybe which is a 5 min job after her weekday show - or a couple hours on a Friday maybe when they are not working I expect Arielle to be live 9-12 weekdays but Dannys DP Warm up suspect will be a recorded show

Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
