    Very interesting comments especially the last one. Had know idea Ben Cooper was stepping down. This makes me think there will be changes but not immediately. 

    The likes of Clara, Matt and maybe Mills will depart?

    Mollie King to replace Clara

    One of the new talents we are hearing over the festive period to take Weekend Breakfast 

    Jordan takes Weekday Lunchtimes Mills remaining Chart Show host.

    Mollie on Mids would be dreadful. I really don’t think it’ll happen. She’s not got the right style to do it, she sort of talks in sound bites a lot when on her own a bit like Maya, and just doesn’t come across as authentic.

    I think Jordan getting drive is an almost done deal 

    what annoyed me was there was no formal notice that Scott was no longer breakfast cover, no celebration, no announcement just changed and that was that 

    For Radio 1 they don’t tend to announce cover, the average listener couldn’t care less so it’d just be a service for us lot.

    I can see them taking over Scotts show if he went to R2 full time

    I think Scott is still the "backup" because he has covered a few times, specially when Greg was kidnapped and did a runner with Grimmy and is still doing NYD, so maybe M&M is prime cover and Scott is now 2nd cover 

    Dev and Alice, no yes they are great but they function far better later in the day

    I would like to see Jordan dep on his own for Greg personally - how about this for a curve ball - Grimmy depping lol 

    Has potential to happen if no one else was available

    Sara Cox did for Moyles after she was kicked off breakfast 

    If/when Jordan is the incumbent on Drive, Dev and Alice would potentially be great for regular cover.

    I hope Matt and Mollie don’t cover again. Can’t stand them together. Would like to see Dev and Alice have a shot.

    Dev and Alice would be really good I think, would enjoy hearing them have a shot.  But, would they commit to depping for two weeks?  They’re both busy, especially Alice.

  5. With 2019 being the year that Matt and Mollie extended into the week, to cover for Greg, transitioning away from Scott and Chris deputising Breakfast, do you think they were the right call to take over?  I’ve certainly had my criticisms.  In the new year, who do you think would be the best Breakfast dep?  It’ll be interesting to see if they switch up who covers, that’d be a better policy I think, trying out different pairings and DJs.

  6. I think this will most likely be a year of transition and change for Radio 1.  We’ll hopefully see innovation in terms of distribution on demand, reaching the target audience in the ways they consume content.  I think we’ll almost certainly see some schedule changes to the linear station, Breakfast will stay another year easily, there needs to be a weekend shuffle, with some fresh talent coming through, and some tired talent either moving to weekdays, or going.  Weekdays, Clara could stay another year, but the show certainly sounds very tired and there are people that could step up.  RMC almost certainly need a promotion.  Scott and Chris, I’m very doubtful they’ll continue, it’s time to move on, they both have many prospects and the station needs to evolve.  Nick could easily shift from Drive as Clara could from Mids, but we’ve been wrong about that before.  It’s either going to be a year of big change, which I think is needed to keep the brand and the station fresh, or a year of stasis and slowly declining audiences.  Ben Cooper goes in the new year, so that leads a path for fresh management.  Time will tell.
