Most of Steve Wright and Ken Bruces shows are current stuff
Surpised how much is in common with the R1 playlist
Where will Scott go then? and what about Greg?
-
Scott appears to be covering the chart again this Friday at 1500
-
Which makes me ask the question, of if its like this - i've noticed Greg, Grimmy and Scott all going more to a Zoo format recently and weekends are as well with Alice and Dev teaming up and Matt with a co-host then why did they get rid of Moyles in the first place
I think Grimmy is kind of done, great yes he will now doubt beat Blackburns record, making him second longest to Moyles but surely he has to go now?
-
I reckon not 2018, he doesn;t seem to be going anywhere
-
Just thought i'd start a new thread
Just 84 days (29th May) and Grimmy will have broken Tony Blackburns record and be the second longest to Moyles on breakfast
Does this mean something will happen this year? can't see it personally as he seems settled and no sign of changes
Yes Aled is making changes to weekends and pairing people up to make space for the newer ones to come in but can't see Grimmy going anywhere
Just a question - does the info on WIKI mean the amount of days in post or shows?
-
Shal we have a refresh of this with a current line up prediction
Scott - R2 as soon as the next person retires (Steve Wright or Ken Bruce?) i'd have had Coxy down to take one of those shows however as she has just been given a weeknight slot cant see it
Dev - weekday drive when Greg takes breakfast
Grimmy - week day afternoons? weekends or TV
Clara - safe for now, but potential of being poached by a commercial rival for a prime time slot?
Adele - really deserves a weekday daytime show, maybe a breakfast co-host with Greg
Alice - weekend breakfast solo if dev got drive
-
In my mind why did Dev ever swap back to weekend breakfast from early breakfast in 2013 with Gemma
I mean he had a 5 day a week slot, and could have gone easily to a daytime slot had one became available so why take a step back to weekends in the first place
Saying that it has given him opportunity to do lots of weekday cover and even had a go at the main breakfast show a couple of times
I think he deserves drive if there is a shuffle about, i.e. Grimmy leaves or goes to afternoons if Scott went to R2 and Greg takes breakfast and Dev gets drive leaving Alice on weekend breakfast, or give Alice the live lounge show and give Maya weekend breakfast with Jordan doing both weekend days
Another one who deserves a daytime slot is Adele shes really good at the moment
-
Interesting today, Chris Smith doing newsbeat on the breakfast and drive shows, Tina was doing TV but Chris had middle of day off
-
Wild card here, just a thought... Maybe Aled is trying to get a zoo format back to breakfast, and Maya could be the new "Becky" with Scott and Chris, making a breakfast team in readiness for the departure of Grimmy, put this team on breakfast for a couple years until Ken Bruce or Steve Wright or Simon Mayo retire, opening a door for Scott to R2 and then bring a new breakfast Jock in (Greg) to team up with Maya and Chris for breakfast circa 2021 or something?
It's not been unknown for an older R1 presenter to take over breakfast after a younger one in the past and Aled is a radio geek like Scott and Greg and Moyles so maybe he is changing things back a little
I've certainly noticed that Scott and Grimmys shows have more talking specially Scotts breakfast show
On Scott and Breakfast, when they covered over Christmas and NY if it was Scotts team why did they do Grimmys shit bangers rip off and not their own bangers ?
-
Is the Saturday Moyles show pre-recorded?
Cant understand the Scott thing on a Friday unless Chris is taking Fridays off
Also will Matt still be the cover for Scott ? or will this be someone else
-
wonder why Dev is covering two odd days
Todays show was very Scott esque wonder if its his team working with Matt as opposed to the usual leave thing where Matts team are poducing
When Scott did breakfast over Christmas was this his team or Grimmys? -
I think Grimmy has at least another year if not more
He is now 3rd longest and only has another 138 days left to be 2nd to Moyles
I'm still convinved he will go for Moyle's record
Also of note, does WIKI calculate the number of days by show or days he has been in position i.e. including weekends
Alot of people are saying Scott will be the likely deputy for Sara Cox's new show on Radio 2

Hi, I’m new here.
I’m Dan and I have been lurking on the forum for a while now and with being on the UM whatsapp chat, I thought it was time to join in with the discussions!
Hey Dan welcome to the forums

As mentioned before, I think Coope wants to beat the CM record on Breakfast
It was him that engineered Moyles leaving and installing Grimmy therefore he has to prove a point and keep Grimmy in it to beat Moyles at least
Greg on breakfast maybe but he is in the same zone Scott was in about 2010 when it was speculated Moyles would go and he would take over then it would have been ideal for Scott but September 2012 he had already been relegated to afternoons so no chance
If anything happens I would say Mills to weekends and doing cover work on R2 and R1 in the week (covering Grimmy and Greg and his old show maybe as well as R2 shows like drive, Ken Bruce and the Steve Wright show) move Greg to 1-4 (i know he did this before) and put the new guys on Breakfast and drive
-
I would be interested in this, if someone can show me how to edit
-
I agree with Grimmy this year
Maybe Mills will start the transition to R2 hopefully if Sara Cox gets a full time slot on there Mills could be the cover for Breakfast and Drive and the Ken Bruce slot as well as the main cover on R1 breakfast
Greg I think his TV career will take off, so I cant see him sticking about for another year with someone like maybe Grimmy replacing him? then a new breakfast host (Jordan and Katie maybe) or will they go for gold and try to poach someone like Roman Kemp
Chris Moyles - I can see him making a BBC comeback on radio 2 as well potentially for the right slot (evens retiring?)
Maybe as a curve ball - Clara Amfo maybe her TV career will take off and we will have a new mid morning host
Question for all while we are on it
A. Has Scott ever covered the live lounge show
B. was scott on the Mayo 37hr show
-
Adele, Scott/Chris and Dev appear to be the only regular daytime DJs working over the period with Matt and Alice appearing a little
Scott is working hardest I would say 3 weeks of breakfast cover
I so hope if Grimmy goes Scott or Greg gets Breakfast for at least a couple years
-
No one on earlies the week after then would have thought Jordan would have picked that up and Matt the 10-1 slot
Also seems none of the daytime DJs are about bar Scott and Adele all over the period
-
I was going to say Jordan looks like hes on from 7pm NYE to 10am NYD

Why would one of Radio 1's most legendary presenters who's been on weekdays for nearly 15 years agree to be demoted to weekends and the subs bench. Never gonna happen in my opinion.
I hope not as well I hope he gets a chance of one of the bigger shows before he leaves like Breakfast or Drive again
-
I am going to go out on a limb here... I think Greg will go before the others
I think his TV career will kick off within the next 18 months and drive will go to someone like Matt, Alice or one of the newer ones (Matt or Alice drive, Scott weekends on greatest hits and cover in the week for all shows and Jordan or Cel Weekend afternoons)
As regards Mills - it will be the way I've always said, he will start to cover shows on R2, as soon as someone on R2 leaves Coxy will get a daytime slot, be that breakfast, 930-12, or 2-5 or drive (cant see Vine going anywhere soon or Mayo) at that point Scott will become their first choice for cover I would say covering all their shows like Coxy did and also covering slots at 1 like drive, and Breakfast before moving into the next permanent slot on R2 as well as doing Sounds of the 80s although that could be made part of Coxys gig and Scott do a new sounds of the 00s show
As for Grimmy
Well hes in the five year club now between Mayo and Read in place and I think if he continues as he is, he will just break the CM record to make a point then leave, to be replaced by someone like Cel Spellman or Alice Levine
I think this there are two reasons for this Grimmy wants to beat the Great Moyles and Cooper needs to prove himself
What has surprised me is Mistajam being given more exposure and bigger shows as he is an older hand on the station being there the same time as Greg and co
-
Brilliant Bangers mix by Scott at 1545 today
Banging tunes for a Friday - like the old "floor fillers" days from drivetime
He was saying as it went down so well may well make a feature

Crikey, you've really analysed that well. When you say it's "exactly right to the minute", I agree with every daytime presenter except Grimmy. A countless number of times, he is late for the news at about 7:32, 8:03 and so on! He has a tendancy to start a track at 7:29! WHY?!
Have noticed that as well
In Grimmys show Tina does the news in 82A and is part of the team - she is becoming more so recently same as the CM days
Clara is slap dash sometimes as well but our man Scott and also Greg are bang on usually

It looks like they're gonna have to put a 15 minute bulletin in the breakfast show to me... (not that I'll mind as it's 15 mins less Grimmy in the morning)
I've always loved how seriously they take the 1 hour day time news rule it's exactly right to the minute:
6:30, 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 8:30, 9:30 all 3 mins so 18 mins. 10:30 and 11:30 are 2 mins each bringing it to 22. 1:30 is 1 min (23), 2:30 and 3:30 2 mins (26), 4:30 3 mins (29), and 5:00 1 min (30) - add the 15 min bulletins and there is your hour!
Thought there was a 9am one as well

Whats suprising about this is that Scott is not filling in now hes the new host - and Jordan doing his show or earlies to allow Adele to do 1-4
