    Rylan said on his show this afternoon that he's off for a "fair few weeks", he didn't say exactly how many weeks he's off for. There's no mention on the schedule yet who's sitting in for him.

    Covering This Morning?

    Will be interesting to hear how Gary Davies handles the slot tomorrow ~ Bearing in mind that, at this stage, Mark Goodier over on GHR is no competition at all ...

    Still dont know what is happening to Mark do we?

    Think thats more fantasy than the chance of reality. I don’t get the feeling that BBC would dare to add a big name, a marmite name to its pay role and don’t think Moyles would take the opportunity. He is most likely to be given the more freedom creatively at X than 2. Also don’t think he fits their whole family vibe that an energetic and emphusiastic Ball gives.

    Yeah probably is just fantasy booking. Who could you see as Zoe's successor? Sara maybe?

    With the regular line up come May having Jo Whiley, Zoe Ball, Scott Mills and now Vernon Kay Radio 2 do seem to be going for a Noughties type Radio 1 line-up.

    Vernon does seem to have been fairly positively received when doing cover on Radio 2 previously but given he's replacing such a radio icon in Ken Bruce the role does feel a bit of a poisoned chalice where whatever you do will be compared to Ken Bruce. Ideally what a DJ probably wants to be is the DJ replacing Ken Bruce's replacement - I'd say Greg James for example really benefitted from getting Breakfast after Nick Grimshaw had done it rather than if he had been Chris Moyles's replacement where he would have ended up constantly compared to Moyles.

    Spot on for me i would love Moyles to take Breakfast in a few years and then Radio 2 becomes the perfect line up for me.

    I somehow missed his stint on R1 - What was he like on there?

    Really enjoyed his Radio 1 shows. When he first started he was just doing 1hour before the chart on sundays. Think it was the happy hour usually live from a pub. Then the mid mornings were great had a quiz on Saturdays and lots of guests and Sundays was The Lie In with loads of classic tunes. I really liked him on Radio X and fun fact for you i was his first ever caller on Radio X.

    As much as I think Greg is wonderful - I actually don't think he is absolutely essential to Radio 1.  The next generation is very ready, Jordan is a breakfast show presenter in waiting, with or without Katie (or Vick), Jack Saunders could easily take it on if it wasn't Jordan.  Matt and Mollie or Rickie, Melvin and Charlie could easily be shorter term replacements.

    Meanwhile, we have James Cusack, Sam and Danni and Emil Franchi all without regular shows and perfectly capable of one.

    There's really no shortage of future talent at Radio 1 at present.

     

    Aled said when Greg went to 5 days a week, he would have Greg on 7 days a week if he could. So i would argue Greg is still essential to Radio 1. But yes the future looks bright especially with Jordan and Jack
