Kudos to Aled for replying to your questions - not sure there’s many people in his position who’d do that!
Pretty fair and valid I’d say…the RAJAR point is a good one, the anthems situation just allows them to keep the music flowing.

I think this is a great move & she’ll suit the style of show Scott is doing. Something I was a little concerned about with the suggestion Mark Goodier could provide cover. 
I do wonder if Sara feels a bit put out by missing out on breakfast permanently? Maybe this is a sweetener by getting her back on cover duties.

Superb for Matt & Mollie, it’s richly deserved as the show is so good.
I honestly think they’re in for a Scott & Chris style long stint on the afternoon slot.
They also appear in the Top 10 Programmes for Under 35’s on BBC Sounds latest data too. M&M are 9th, Going Home is 5th, Greg is 4th with 10s & 00s taking the top 2 spots.
Help I Sexted My Boss has also made it into the Top 10 U35 podcasts on BBC Sounds for the first time!

Just to say once again i found the radio really moving and powerful yesterday. Greg is the best with these events, Matt&Mollie was a tough listen bless them. Scott had some of the most moving radio i have ever heard. Jordan,Chris and Sian did a great job on Capital too. Vick and Katie also

That will be because of the bitrate that they’ve launched these stations at… they try and squeeze too many stations on one multiplex.
I think Capital Anthems is as low as 32 kbit/s, whereas Radio 1 is broadcast at 128 kbit/s.
 

It’ll launch as Sounds only, but the BBC wants to place this, R1 Dance, R2 spin off & R3 Relax onto DAB - but they need to get additional approval for that to happen

It’s all three of them today?

Surprised to see Vicky back on afternoons full stop, let alone paired with someone who isn’t Nat. Will just feel like Dean is away!
It’s a real shame Sam & Danni aren’t being given a run out on afternoons when both Matt & Mollie are away. 

He’s sounding superb. This is the “something” that his 2-4 show is missing!

I'd say Danny has been given a fair hearing - and hasn't been up to par.
You don't want Radio 1 to be a closed shop - but not being able to usually get the Whatsapp number right should be a dealbreaker. Errors happen even to the best DJs at times but if you can't get the Whatsapp number right you really shouldn't have a regular role on the station.
But if they really are that desperate to have Danny on the schedule full-time then pair him up with somebody who can actually handle the technical side. You think of all the capable DJs who are in duos and trios and then you have just have a rookie like Danny left solo. 
The LGBTQ+ point too I have to say if true as a gay man feels a case of proper discrimination.
It's good to have LGBTQ+ representation for sure but the key thing is that the DJ is good at the end of the day and say in 2021 there was loads of LGBTQ+ talent on Radio 1 in Scott, Grimmy and Adele Roberts among others but at the end of the day they were strong DJs entirely there on merit. And even now there's still LGBTQ+ talent on Radio 1 who are there primarily because they're bloody good broadcasters. Danny is not one of them.

I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown. 
Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie. 
The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience. 

I think it was more of a ‘let’s do shows from Salford’ decision. Rather than a talent led decision 

Considering nothing else changed with the show yesterday - it’ll probably be Judge Jamie 😆
