    I’m sure Dave was around when Vernon hosted at least 

    Yeah and the whole team definately were when Sara covered in 2010 when CM and his girlfriend split 

    The Monday CM got stuck in the US with the ash cloud, when he did the show from the US on the Tuesday, and Dom was stuck in France Scott covered Monday with Becky and TOTDS, Tina was doing news and during the show Dave called in and I am sure he said it was contractual he couldn't be there 

    CM called in as well during the show - the next day the show was done from the US, with CM down the line in a studio and Aled doing the desk in London I assume on the Monday when Scott was doing the show Aled was off arranging the show for the next day hence TOTDS covering

    Nope, I’m thinking he’ll take a holiday quite soon, maybe around Easter? He had quite a few holidays when he did drive so it does surprise me a bit. 

    He'll probably have Easter off, Scott is not getting as much breakfast cover as he used to have, by default he has a bit recently with the Escape Room and Lolothon, but unlike Grimmy Greg is not one for dropping out after a heavy night with Miss Ora or Geldof - very reminiscent of Zoe and Saras partying days, I think he has shown for every drive show thus far apart from holidays 

    Greg is very much like Moyles in that way where he wouldn't miss a show unless there was a Holiday or a crises (remember when him and his GF spit Sara stood in for a few days) 

    Question on that front - did Scott ever cover for Moyles working with Aled, Dave and Dom ?

    Do we think these guys will go any further than 9-11pm?  Like take over drive to something like that.  I kind of doubt it but you never know, if they do well.

    I think they could be the next answer on Breakfast after Greg maybe, in 3-4 years time, or being lined up to take over for Scott if he leaves? I could see Grimmy leavign and Scott doing drive again to allow these 3 onto daytime maybe

    Cel and Katie are 82F, so I guess MistaJam probably is if Scott is as well on a Friday. Didn’t afternoons use to be 82E on Fridays before the three day weekend? I love this it’s proper geeky chat. Matt and Mollie are pretty much always 82D aren’t they? It’s one of the big ones with the purple walls, rather than blue, and Maya is 82A so it’s gotta be 82D.

    Love the geek chat as well and I think by the sounds of them on the podcast Will the producer did too

    I am not sure what studio Greg used to do his drive-time show from

    I know Grimmy always used to use 82A on breakfast although sometimes 82E or F 

    I think Matt and Mollie are 82D I know that's usually Clara, Adele and Grimmy too  

     

  5. It turns out from the answer Scott does the chart in 82F and they get kicked out of 82A when there is a live lounge on, Clara and Grimmy use 82D normally and they see each other 

    So Fridays must be 

    Adele 82D 

    Matt and Mollie 82F 

    Maya 82A 

    Dev/Alice 82D 

    Scott 82F and Annie 82A 

     

    MistaJam may use the same one he does 1Xtra drivetime in on a Saturday maybe and as 7pm Saturday is a 1Xtra take over maybe Target uses the one he uses on a weekday, and the R1 ones dont get used 

     

    Out of interest, does anyone know how many Studios were at Yalding House 

  6. I've been wondering this for a while - Scotts Twitter prompted me to ask 

    So Friday this week he was talking to Mable on the chart and was in 82A 

    Later Annie posted an insta story in 82A 

    So Did Scott move studios in newsbeat at 545, or did he pre record Mable and do his 4pm show in another studio? because he seems to use 82A for the chart, which prompts my next question

    Why do the studios used seem to change at weekends 

    Example here 

    Weekdays Early breakfast 82D

    Breakfast 82A 

    Clara 82D 

    Scott 82A 

    Grimmy 82D

     Annie 82A

    Dev 82D 

    Jack 82A

     

    Weekends 

    Breakfast 82D 

    Greatest Hits 82A

    Dev and alice 82D

    Scott/Jam/Life Hacks 82A 

     

    However today Mistajam posted a story of a tour of R1 and looked like he was in 82D and Dev and Alice were in 82A which would make todays allocations same as a weekday 

    I remember having to do the breakfast show in 82D sometimes and Scott has certainly used 82D on occassion 

     

    Hard to tell which are pre records and which aren't where they've had to use the opposite studio to normal 

  7. I love this discussion 

    My prediction is breakfast will change time to align with Capital and Heart 

    I think Scott will be at R2 or relegated to weekends only on R1 

    I think the weekend Friday weekend business would have finished 

    Weekdays (Monday-Friday) 

    4-6 New presenter/Jordan 

    6-10 The 3 from Kiss (forgot names) 

    10-1 Mollie or Katie 

    1-4 Roman Kemp or Alice 

    4-7 Matt (inc chart on Friday and Dance Anthems) 

    7-9 Jack Saunders

    9-11 Dev 

    Weekends 

    6-10 Scott Sat and Katie/Mollie Sunday 

    10-1 New presenter (Free?) 

    1-4 Greg 

    4-7 Annie Mac with Dance Anthems Sat and New Presenter Sun

    I imagine Scott will not be at the station at all by this time, either at R2 or commercial rival on a national show (drive i feel not breakfast) 

    If he's at R2 he's taken over from Ken Bruce or Sara Cox and Moyles is on Steve Wright slot 

    Grimshaw - either at a commercial rival or doing TV pr 6 music 

    Annie - sounds of the 00s on R2 on a week night (friday?) and R1 Dance anthems on Sat 

    Clara - 6 music or commercial rival

    Chris Stark - no idea, hope with Scott maybe with Dev on nights

    UM People’s! Can I ask a favour from one geek to a few others. I’m going though a phase of listening to random shows on random stations online or on DAB. I was looking for some good shows to listen to. I reocmednd two djs to you guys as well Issy Panyais-EB Radio X. Quite like her show she should get signed for a better shift. 

    Amy Voce- As I think one of you told me used to be part of Sam and Amy axed for Chris Evans. Hosts a nighttime show now seems funny she should join another station soon. Otherwise her talents wasting. 

    I am bias here; listen to my show on community radio, i do drivetime weekdays 3pm start www.burgesshillradio.co.uk lol 

    My alt to R1 is R2 now, enjoying Zoe on breakfast and Sara on drive

    Maybe a 48 hour lolathon, that would be incredible.  I wonder if either Scott or Greg could go after the longest show moyles record this year, I’d really like to hear that.

    It is comic relief again this year, and Greg does his bit for sport relief, so could be another lolathon or a marathon show, I hope Greg is involved as well

    Well Sloth did 1 Year on nighttime and left. But he had been doing bits and bobs B4 that.

    When did Maya join. Oh yeah I forgot she had that awkward show with Scott and Chris last March I think I’ll check the podcasts here. I’m sure it was tilted ‘She’s Like a Walking Stag Do’ Have to admit back then I thought she was ok for a rookie. But she’s been there nearly a year. Every Day is like Day 1 *rolls eyes*  

    Why is Grimmy still at R1 forget Scott going to heart this year Nick should take over heart breakfast as he’s too old for Capital 

    I'd say of Grimmy left he'd be more at home on 6 music or 1xtra, he seems to be more the type to say yes to a night time slot where as Mills would not

    Really really good points.  Yeah, the chart is secure Scott if he wants to stay on it for a few years I’m sure.  A bit like Mark Goodier all those years ago.

    Yeah I think thats how it will become maybe

    2019 feels like the year Scott will call it a day.  

    Greg on Breakfast seems like a transitionary thing for a few years, while the station regenerates, and gets loads of younger talent on, and brings in an exciting new breakfast show.  Clara, Scott and Grimmy can’t last long in their current slots at least, 2019 has to be the last year of Radio 1 as we know it, before another big overhaul. 

    I always feel that Greg was always going to get Breakfast, although what was interesting in a youtube interview for Next Radio with Scott in 2012 just after Grimmy had taken over breakfast I am sure he is asked if he was dissapointed, and he talks about he knew it wasn't him also saying that him taking over from CM would be like for like, as they are the same age, he also hints about "the previous host not moving on" it's a good watch, if there are any others like this could anyone share? I would love to see the one he did last year with Chris at a convention or awards 

    Anyway I digress, I say Scott should have been the transitional man after CM but before Greg but history has been made now 

    I feel your right, 2019 will be the last year of the current line up, let's face it Greg and Scott have been part of daytime for the last 10 years and Scott 20, and Grimmy nearly 7 now, and Clara and Adele about 4/5 years each ? another key indicator is that Scott is the longest in his slow on Daytime now - although hasn't Annie Mac been in hers just as long? 

    Another one who gets short changed is Dev I feel, although on the other hand MistaJam has been around yonks and only recently taken over 1X drive, I wonder if the new Kiss lot coming onto nights is to get them in as a transition and they then take drive off Grimmy or even 1Xtra breakfast off Dotty, where they would be more at home 

    I can't see any more shuffles this year though, although we may see Scott start to cover R2 a bit as Sara is not going to be Zoe's cover, so I wonder who is? will it be Scott I wonder or will they use Mark Goodier or Trevor Nelson maybe - the right slot for Scott would be either Ken Bruces show or Steve Wright and again with R2 having made major changes recently are they going to again with their daytime middle of the day anchors - i doubt it and Steve and Ken have a massive following 

    Will Vine leave? maybe but that's not a music show 

     

    I can see Scott keeping the chart though for a few years

    I never really thought about it that way.  I’d be so sad if Scott left, but he deserves something better than 1-4pm, it’s really sad he never got Breakfast.

    He's the breakfast show presenter that never was in a way; someone mentioned that Greg is "transitional" between Grimmy and a new show in a year or two, IMO Scott should have been the "one" between CM and Greg, people always knew Greg was going to get it one day, I reckon Scott should have got it in about 2011 to 2015/6 then Greg took it over

    I saw the fact they've brought back Innuendo Bingo in a big way as a vote of confidence in the feature and the show. I don't see him winding down at all at the moment.

    I think your right, although I wasn't overly impressed with Bingo, preferred it in the studio being more raw than as staged as it was

    I can see him being used for Radio 2 cover, seeing as Sara is not going to be the breakfast cover anymore 

  15. On Radio Today podcast, which was released last Wednesday, it was said Heart will announce within 7 days new "Emma Bunton" replacement at breakfast, then a hmmmm from both the presenters, plus Scott has just announced on R1 that Innuendo Bingo is back
    Just a thought, is he doing this as a last swansong, I mean say he announces this week he takes over Heart Breakfast in 4 months, they could have some massive guests on bingo before he leaves? also it was mentioned on R1 that bingo now has a set as well so sounds like it will be live online again

  16. I love this podcast - just if it was a bit longer, Chris seems to be being always pushed out of the studio for the next show - surely they have a studio he can work in alone for a few hours, and produce an hour show, I wonder how it works contractually maybe along the lines of "were paying you for 5 days a week, just because Scott is not on Fridays anymore at 1, you ought to be doing something work wise" or was it their idea to keep Chris busy while Scott is on chart duties 

    whatever the scenario it's one of the best podcasts on the station, just wished they covered a bit more of the other DJs maybe have one as a guest each week to discuss their career and next moves and all

     

    I would love to hear what Scott thinks of Zoe and Sara at R2 and all
