Not sure how it saves costs? Presenters get paid an amount for doing so many shows per year. Anymore than that they get paid extra 

Hmmm not sure.  I doubt whether this was laziness, more likely a last resort.  There are several presenters off at the moment due to Covid and other illnesses and it's very likely to be a similar story across production teams too.  Taking an off-peak programme off air seems to be to be a reasonable decision in the circumstances.

Sian Eleri is in for Jack Saunders Monday 22nd to Thursday 25th November.

For 4 weeks from Monday 9th August there will be 2 fewer shows per day Monday-Thursday, as follows:
 
10.30-14.00 Adele Roberts
14.00-18.00 Nick Grimshaw for the first week, Scott for the rest
18.00-21.00 Future Sounds - interim presenter TBC
21.00-00.00 Jack Saunders
 
Not sure if they will do something similar Fri-Sun, also not sure what's happening the week before from 2nd August as Annie has left by that point.  So it looks like Clara's last mid-morning show and RMC's last evening show will both be on Thursday 5th August.
 
Also, Alex & Numi (August's Fri early brek presenters) are in for Arielle 9th-12th August.

I see so much speculation about him going, I just get the feeling maybe he’s safe on Drive for longer.  We all assumed it was a temporary slot for him before further demotion when he swapped with Greg, and here he is, and the quality of his show has definitely increased.

Biggest problem here is that the BBC is the state broadcaster for the UK. They didn’t air anything except news on TV last night, BBC One & Two showed the same. Four was suspended.
They have a duty to announce the news in a respectful way, hence the simulcast. Maybe Radio 1 should’ve gone back to music earlier, but even if they did it would’ve only been instrumentals for longer.
This has nothing to do with R1 management and would’ve been decisions made by the highest & the Beeb. From what I’ve read elsewhere today, these are plans that are in place way ahead of time. Stuff isn’t decided last minute.
I get all the “should’ve done this to connect with the audience” stuff, but as state broadcaster the BBC has to be very careful. Commercial radio did offer an alternative yesterday, even sans adverts, so people had options.

Great topic!  Here goes... I find Charlie Hedges unlistenable.

Studio 82B in NBH London

Matt & Mollie are in for Greg for a week 22nd-26th March.

As long as each track has been correctly logged in the first place, this metadata is retained even when mixed into an Anthems 'chunk' or as part of a fully pre-rec show.  The dira! playout system links to the 'Now Playing' info.
Basically, if done correctly, music is logged and marked on the system as 'send to public display' so it appears on Now Playing, but beds, imaging, trails, speech clips etc are not marked 'send to public display' so they don't appear on Now Playing, even though everything is played out of the same system.  This also generates the tracklistings on programme web pages - if these are ever blank it's because there was some kind of error with the music logging.

@Lee E In repsonse to your chatbox post, here are the current studio allocations for R1:
 
Mon-Thurs
Arielle 82F, Greg 82A, Clara 82F, Scott 82A, Grimmy 82D, Annie 82A, RMC 82D, Jack 82A
Fri
Early Breakfast 82F, Greg 82A, Jordan 82F, M&M 82D, Scott 82E, Annie 82A, Danny 82B
Sat
Adele 82D, Jordan 82F, M&M 82D, Charlie 82F, Target 82A, Tiffany 82C
Sun
Adele 82D, Jordan 82F, M&M 82D, Life Hacks (Katie in Salford, Vick in Salford or sometimes 82E), Sian 82B, Dan 82C
 
If you want the same info for 1Xtra or Asian Network let me know.  1Xtra use the same 6 studios as R1, as do around half of Asian Network's shows - the rest come from Birmingham.

I used to work at a radio station (not R1, think smaller!) so I have a bit of an insight into this, although I'm sure it varies.
Where I worked, around half of the presenters were staff and half were freelancers.  Staff had to request leave and have it approved - freelancers could just say they were 'unavailable' but we would expect a reasonable amount of notice (apart from sickness) so that cover could be arranged.  At R1 I believe all of their presenters are freelance.
We would have a list of presenters who could cover each show - their suitability would be based on profile, experience, other work/commitments, so lots of factors.  There would always be a preferred cover presenter for each show, and I think you can see that at R1 certain people tend to cover certain shows regularly - often they try to find someone 'similar' to cover.
If more than one daytime presenter were off at the same time then you would also consider how the day 'sounded' in terms of different voices i.e. avoiding 3 male or 3 female presenters in a row, for example, so there was variety to the sound as you went through the day. 
Part of my job was to book presenters to cover leave but the overall decisions around who could cover each show was made by the editor - the manager in charge of the station.  I would make the phone calls to arrange short notice cover, although at weekends there would always be a manager 'on call' who could make those decisions too.
In my job, finding cover presenters was always fairly easy - it was much harder to cover a producer or newsreader who went off sick!

Week commencing Monday 4th January:
Rickie, Melvin & Charlie are in for Clara (Mon-Thurs) Matt & Mollie are in for Scott & Chris (Mon & Tues) Adele is in for Rickie, Melvin & Charlie (Mon-Thurs) I guess Clara and Scott are working during the week leading up to Christmas (unlike most of the weekday presenters) so this makes some kind of sense.

Some more upcoming cover:
Dev is in for Scott from Monday 28th September to Thursday 1st October (with Chris!) Cel Spellman is in for Arielle on Friday 9th October
