Scott is now on breakfast for another week, with Spoony on the afternoon show. OJ Borg is on the afternoon show tomorrow and next Thursday. Emma Willis is in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 21st September Paddy O'Connell is in for Rob Beckett on Sunday 22nd September.

I don't think even they know who's going to turn up for the show!

Interesting if they're reverting back to 5 performances a week during Live Lounge month. In recent years, it's had been cut back to 4 performances each week. I might be misremembering but... When live lounge month first started, they did it every day in September including weekends (the weekend performances were on Alice Levine's show iirc)

If they put RMC to 5 days, surely they would do the same with Matt & Mollie?

Shame (but no surprise) if they've overlooked James Cusack. I don't know of Jack, so I'll reserve judgement if he is announced as the new weekend afternoon presenter, but if he's anything like Danny Beard, then it's not for me, I'll stick with Radio 2 in the afternoon. If he is the new weekend presenter, seems a bit odd that they didn't use the opportunity to officially introduce his appointment on air. Did they just refer to him as a 'new presenter'?

The schedule on the website has been updated to show Scott on breakfast. https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl8v/2024/09/09

The schedules have updated to show Scott is on breakfast still next week, with Spoony on afternoons (apart from Thursday, when OJ Borg sits it).

Dunno where you're getting this from. The 10:30 and 15:30 bullitens were 2 minutes in length as normal... Edit: Apologies, you're right. I wonder why they've changed it?

Emma Willis is in for Sara Cox tomorrow. Richie Anderson in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 24th August Paddy O'Connell in for Rob Beckett on Sunday 25th August OJ Borg is in for Sara Cox next week (Tuesday-Friday). Scott is still on breakfast w/c Mon 2nd September, same with Spoony on Scott's afternoon show, apart from Friday 6th when OJ Borg sits in

They already introduced an early breakfast show on a weekend a few years ago, hosted by Arielle Free prior to her moving to the weekday early breakfast show. It didn't last that long. It was given up presumably due to low ratings not justifying the cost of a live presenter/production costs etc.

I can only assume they're genuinely undecided who's taking over, these month long rotations are presumably trials to see who's best. If it was Danny Beard, even if they couldn't take over till a later date, they'd still be able to announce it.

Soundsystem Party, Rap Show and Drum & Bass show are off this Saturday as Radio 1 is coming live from Malta with Danny Howard, Charlie Hedges and Jeremiah Asiamah from 7pm onwards.

Yeah I didn't think it was scheduled cover. Interesting it's the first time Scott has done it, perhaps they feel now is the right time to get him experimenting with other slots (so to speak).

DJ Spoony is in for Scott Mills for the "next few weeks" while he sits in on the breakfast show.
