Hey Know this has probably been asked before, can anyone help How do the Studio allocations work on R1 - Know they share with xtra and AN and the breakfast show comes out of 82A But, what happens, does Scott for instance always use the same Studio - have an idea they have to use the Live Lounge for Innuendo bingo because of the no water in studio rule, so would make sense he and Clara hot seat wap during news beat Does Scott use 82A for the breakfast show Hope someone can help us (several discussing on WhatsApp group)

Whats HRH?

I assume last 2 weeks because Grimmys whole team were off team Mills was completely on the Breakfast show with different team doing the afternoon show with matt Sent from my SM-G925F using the Unofficialmills.co.uk mobile app

When they have covered Scott at short notice I.e. the Mills team is there but Scott isn't odd days illness etc then Chris is there as rostered He was doing stuff with Scott as far back as 2010 time I think if you listen to shows I thought he was one of the producers of Scott's show anyway? I know TOWDS and Becky were Who are Scott's producers now we never hear them apart from Chris? We hear Grimmys and Greg's all the time Sent from my SM-G925F using the Unofficialmills.co.uk mobile app

Yeah I've noticed he's abit more daring with his features and stuff he says but I think that's partly because he is the main entertainer of the station Will be a very sad day when he does leave I tell you bigger than moyles leaving for sure Remember he has been there almost as long as Moyles maybe by 2 years but still going Sent from my SM-G925F using the Unofficialmills.co.uk mobile app

Maybe with the news that Capital is putting a 24yr old and a whole new crew on Breakfast, they will have to react, hopefully using Alice Levine to go up against him or maybe even Mills (here is hope - and there would be no competition)

Nothing I am afraid, but I enjoyed bangers whilst at work in the morning, and in the afternoon while we tided the house ready to sell - Greg and Matt really ramped things up with the bangers, as opposed to the boring Amfo lady - she is very very cute, but her skill set is not a patch even on Grimmy but specially Scott Yes true giving Scott the recognition he deserves, as the "senior" DJ on the station in service and experience, although not "senior" in the ranks of show I keep wondering why all this Scott related stuff is happening, are they doing some build up to an announcement maybe when the 50th Birthday is going on about Scott leaving or am I reading too much into it I would have loved to see Scott break the Moyles 52hr record on the Lolothon, what a final stand that would have been I am really hoping that Scott will be one of the main presenters if not the lead presenter for the 50th celebrations later this year, being the most experienced and longest serving daytime DJ in situ, hopefully reuniting him with faces like Moyles, Cox, Ball, Dave Pearce etc etc Hopefully some interesting documentaries on the TV surrounding it to watch hopefully presented by Mills - remember Moyles did one and met all the previous breakfast DJs except the ginger one

don't think this would happen, because Scott would have been placed on Breakfast after Moyles left if he was going to, Grimmy is safe until 2019 at least unfortunately more likely would be Alice Leviene or Adele Roberts I would say, but R1 looks pretty stable at the moment, with no shock "elections" or resignations likely, they have a pretty solid robust team, and any station - as demonstrated on R2, needs to keep continuity, so I think R1 will stay as it is for at least 2 to 4 years - remember the last massive shake up was 2012, when Moyles left and Mills and James were swapped three big changes in one year, that was too much IMO, I think a clue that something is happening is if someone like Alice starts covering Breakfast instead of Scott - which will be a sad day as he is a f***ing brilliant radio DJ in his own right - by far the BEST one R1 have

Luke is with the same agency as Grimmy Intrestingly, Scott and Sara Cox are with the same agency - a different one to Luke and Grimmy and Greg James is with a totally different one, and Clara Amfo has her own site !

Is this person on 1 extra? I would have thought someone from 1 extra would come over, like Yasser has and Nick Bright seems to be Adeles cover Would also love to see someone like Sara Cox or Zoe Ball do some cover on R1 weekends Also Greg James must have some hols coming up as mentioned Dev on his show today as "the cover" and he has his own drive jingles

I reckon Dev and Alice babysat him, Dev was there at the start and Alice came in about 1145

He was talking to Dev after the show, who said he was hanging about to help him if he got into trouble, Rylan is definitely not driving it

Thanks for reply. So what happened to Scott this morning when they aired 2hrs of Harry Styles talking to Grimmy did he go home at 8 ? Sent from my SM-G925F using the Unofficialmills.co.uk mobile app

Hi should have introduced myself. I am Lee, from Sussex. Radio enthusiast, mage geek, and very keen listener to R1 daytimes, fan of Scott's show and admire his career, as well as other R1 presenters. Was early 20's in the "go to work with Moyles and come home with Mills" era. Love chatting to you guys and finding out loads of stuff from the knowledge here, great site, am also on the Moyles version.

Brilliant chat with Scott on the handover

Wow thanks, never knew there was a Moyles one as well

I would imagine its something similar to what is called in my industry "rostered annual leave" where your leave is defined into three blocks (2 weeks spring, 2 Summer and 2 winter) with some spare days to take ad hoc. So first 2 weeks April 17 are "the breakfast team" etc etc. Just a theory. Whats pleasing this week, is that breakfast is in effect Scott and Chris's 1-4 show just between 630-10 instead with their features, and bits, where as Scott standing in on a sick day would be Grimmys normal show with Scott hosting, listened to Coxy a bit on R2 as well, and she is doing a good job there as well. So this week and next 9apart from Friday where there is a two hour Grimmy/Styles interview we have half hour more of the usual Mills show just in the morning, and Matt wasn't too bad covering the 1-4 slot. leading on from this..... now when Scott covers Breakfast like this, do they use studio 82A where grimy comes from or do they use their own one?

Would love to listen to Moyles on the afternoon show if anyone has it Thanks for the responses

Now I have another question (thanks for the replied BTW) It would sound to me that Grimmys whole team are on holiday Does this mean Scotts whole team moves to the breakfast show and produces that, which is why all of Scotts features are on there - its basically the normal 1-4 show but in the morning, where as when Scott has covered odd days, its all of the usual stuff If Scotts team is on the breakfast show, then who would be doing the Matt Edmunson show in the afternoon covering for Scott - Matts Weekend team?

So RONR with another DJ is live then? When is the going home song recorded the day before or earlier in the day? Never knew any of this Scott certainly seems to be able to time everything just right does that come with years of practice

So in effect scott was demoted in 2012 if you like and greg and Grimmy put in better slots as such

I have always thought breakfast prep would be done post show So RONR is pre recorded? Sounds live to me wow never knew that

Posted on another forum as well, hoping someone can answer Okay, so conversation ongoing about cover DJ's so I have a question for the experts. A. how do you decide who to use as cover. B. how does the hireachary work for instance at R1 Scott always moves to Breakfast and the "cover" as such is brought into his slot, where as drive the cover comes directly into it C. Would someone like Coxy or Mills have in as part of their contract "for x amount of weeks per your you will cover the breakfast slot" Just interested in these geeky facts And also How soon before a show does the DJ arrive - do they need to do a lot of prep on the day, because someone like Adele would have to be there at 1am to get her show ready Sorry to be a geek but love these facts

It's probably a one off, to save Matt doing 16 days on the trot, as things are he did his regular slot this weekend, followed by five of Scotts this week Suspect he will not be driving the desk, just talking into the microphone, with someone else driving What would have been better would be for Scott to have done Matts middle weekend maybe, or someone like Greg James, Clara or Adele make a rare weekend appearance Assume 1st choice failing those would have been Fearne Cotton or Sara Cox, as a stand in with previous R1 experience, maybe to cover Matts shows, but shes doing Ken Bruce's slot on R2, and Coxy is covering for Evans for two weeks One last Idea, my Rylan avoidance scheme would be to extend Dev by 90 mins - until 1130 and start Alice at 1130 to plug the gap, or add an hour to Dev until 11 get Alice to do 11-3 and Danny 3-7 something along those lines In the good old days of Moyles he would have covered those slots at the weekend had they been going, am I right in saying he did his own breakfast show one day and then the 1-4 show on same day?
