I know why things were as they were but I have found Christmas a time I tune away from Radio 1 as the anthems shows just become very tedious.  So with more experienced presenters on, hopefully the station can sound more normal.  But I wouldn't guarantee that.

Seems inevitable that once Greg goes, it will either be Jordan & Mollie on breakfast with Vick & Katie on drive or else Jordan & Katie on breakfast with Vick & Jamie on drive. Think the second option would make more sense. I really like Mollie but think a lot of that's down to how good her and Matt are together. Also, she's not exactly the future of the station and it seems a risk to put an unfamiliar duo on breakfast full time. The shows with Jordan this week have been solid but sound a bit forced. Jordan and Katie are so brilliant together and have a genuine friendship so they seem like the obvious choice but who knows.....

We can agree to disagree, I love mollie and matt. I think they should have been the natural successors to Scott. When they do breakfast it’s the best because they bring a different dynamic, it’s innuendos, it’s trivia, it’s interactive and more relatable. Maybe a north south divide as to what constitutes entertainment. 
 
I think Jordan will be the next breakfast host with Mollie. Vick won’t want to do it and nor will Katie move down. 

Scott’s back with a weekly podcast, imagine if Chris Stark joined him on it. ?

The popularity of R1 Anthems/ Radio 1 00's among U-35's is mildly depressing, like they've already taken to saying, "Things were better in my day" ......

I feel the same, Jordan and Katie was a brilliant listen. It'll be hard to beat that
 

Going Home with Vick and Jordan except neither of them are here ?

Going Home with Vick and Jordan except neither of them are here ?

It is all very exciting. I always feel predicting the schedules is like our version of Fantasy Football LOL. Aled we know what your doing ?

And that's the thing about co-hosting - some people need a co-host to be interesting and others simply go beyond how great they already are - I think this is true of Scott and Jordan. Jordan's last solo chart cover - the day where he basically broke the chart - showed just how much he doesn't NEED a co-host but yet the week on breakfast with Katie showed how a co-host allows him to do stuff he just couldn't solo.

Many of the presenters are perfectly good on their own - Jordan a clear example.  Though Jordan's style lends itself to having somebody to bounce off.

What I find interesting is Greg James is the only presenter on daytime who hasn’t got a co-presenter. It shows how good he is.

Yes all speculation. It's always been Matt covering Greg for as long as I can remember. Its stuck out with it being two breakfast covers that have gone to jordan now, so it's two times in a row he hasn't been available,  Matt still being on air both friday's and then Mollie put on breakfast away her regular show with Matt.
I'll be happy to hear something new and Jordan and Katie were great together so this should also be a good listen

Matt does have lots of time off so maybe he has said he doesn’t want to do it this time? Matt and Mollie do each other justice, so I wouldn’t be sure why they’d want to change that.

A couple of things. I don’t get the interest in Mollie King, I think she’s a good pop star but I haven’t rated her as a radio presenter. She’s not natural on air. However, pairing her up with Jordan might bring that out, who knows! Jordan wants the big gig, he told us in an interview, admittedly joking. Although, it’s clear Vick doesn’t want to do Breakfast again. Jordan and Mollie is a strange pairing, although most of us thought the same when Vick and Jordan were paired up, and now I think they’re great! I’m actually going to miss Vick and Jordan next week :((

Based on what we've seen, the fact Mollie has her own show, plus is being partnered up with other male DJs on the station, I really doubt they would want to let her go. I do think it's entirely possible that given M&M in the current format hasn't made it to weekdays, they'll be looking to the future and thinking, how long should it stay like that for? What's the development of that slot? Is Mollie better put together with someone like James or Jordan to make a brand new show for weekdays?
It sticks out like a sore thumb that they've passed Matt for breakfast cover twice in a row over Jordan
 
 
 

Maybe they are going for the method that "Drive host is main breakfast dep/in waiting" again like when Scott was on drive he was main breakfast cover clearly Jordan is the next in line for Breakfast although stranger things have happened (Moyles left and Grim came when everyone thought it would be Scott) wouldnt suprise me at all if RMC are next breakfast

Jordan & Mollie are in for Greg from Friday 20th to Friday 27th October.
Matt is solo on Friday 20th October.
Katie is in for Jordan from Monday 23rd to Thursday 26th October.
Vick is off too on Wednesday 25th - so it's Katie solo! 
Jamie is in for Mollie on Friday 27th October.

Anita Rani is in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 14th and 21st October
Richard Osman is sitting in for Rob Beckett on Sunday 15th and 22nd October
W/C Mon 23rd October
Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay
Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine

They do and I hate to say it you're right, Dean just doesn't come across as popular at all and isn't that the aim of the game, to be popular to your target market? D + V are better solo.
In contrast I'm Radio 1s exact target audience and I only read on facebook, on here or on Digital spy people saying good things about James, either when he's by himself or after this weekends shows with Mollie King.
Also is it just me that thinks if you put someone like Mollie and James on afternoons you instantly put a bit of that prestigiousness back into radio 1 daytimes that it lost when Scott went? A presenter who is actually well known (Mollie) and presenter the audience clearly like and warm to and who fills the northern gap (James)

I've seen James posting some show clips on his instagram. Listening back now that kind of show could easily be on weekday afternoons and better what I could listen to at this exact time. Them two together was really fun.
He's showed what a brilliant Radio 1 presenter he is. From poking fun at mollie for being late (but in an endearing way by saying how he does it too at home and we all do it) to then his humour which is very self deprecating.
His features are very creative, content is bang on target, he's naturally funny and most of all you feel like his mate. Bringing that northern relatable guy feel to the show that I think Radio 1 is very much missing. Definitely has the jordan north likeability factor.
Radio 1 would be mad not to give him his own show or one with Mollie. Seems global have taken note now, they have him on both Capital and heart (which no other presenter does) and it'd be a big loss if they got him to sign full time before Radio 1 moved.
My bet is on the next change a show for him either solo or with Mollie after this weekend.
 

You're inches away from saying that Dean needs to be given the boot ...

Lot of 'ideal radio schedules' on these forums, but how does your radio day look?
I usually start with Greg James, move on to Vernon Kay, then a little bit of Rickie Melvin and Charlie, listen to Scott Mills and then back to Vick and Jordan.
Weekends it's Sam and Danni, Ed Gamble and Matthew Crosbie on Radio X, Matt and Mollie then Dance Anthems or Life Hacks.

Chelsey Ward is the Friday Early Breakfast presenter next month.
