Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.

-Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.

Saturday 5th July Richie Anderson in for Rylan Shaun Keaveny in for Liza Tarbuck.

Joel Mitchell in for James Cusack on Sunday 6th July. TRNSMT festival coverage is now listed as Arielle Free, Ore Olukoga and Alice Hopkins on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th July (13:00-16:00)

W/C 14th July Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay for two weeks OJ Borg in for Sara Cox, with Ellie Taylor covering the following week beginning 21st July In addition on Wednesday 16th July: Spoony in for Trevor Nelson Andi Oliver in for Spoony on The Good Groove.

OJ Borg in for Sara Cox on Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th July, with Phil Williams on the overnight show Tuesday and Wednesday morning.

Radio 2 Glastonbury coverage: Saturday 28th June Dermot O'Leary (8-10am) and Zoe Ball are live from Worthy Farm. In previous years Dermot has hosted a Glastonbury special in place of Rylan's show between 3 & 6pm (with someone covering his show). 10pm to midnight is Edith Bowman with Glastonbury Highlights. Sunday 29th June Jo Whiley is live from Glastonbury between 5 and 8pm.

OJ is now covering for Sara that week, with Connor Phillips on overnights that week (including in for Richie on Sunday night/Monday morning). Phil Williams is in for OJ Borg on Friday 20th June.

Ahh.. apologies! I didn't see your post above.

Sara Cox in for Scott Mills for the week beginning 30th June. Ellie Taylor is sitting in for Sara. Additionally on Thursday 3rd July, Tina Daheley is in for Jeremy and Spoony is in for Trevor.

Sara Cox mentioned on Monday's breakfast show she's doing a week in August so it sounds like she's covering Scott's next full week off (hopefully OJ is on drive then). I think he's sitting in for Scott on the August bank holiday though based off what he said the last time he did the show.

W/C 23rd June Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Emma Willis in for Sara Gary Davies in for Spoony I hope OJ Borg hasn't fell out of favour covering drivetime.

If it was existing Radio 1 presenter and GK Barry as co host, it would be slightly more palatable. I dread to think who the 'co hosts' will be.

First Danny Beard now this. It's a shame that Radio 1 seem to resort to this when they have so many strong presenters on the books both permanently or as regular cover. Presumably they're banking on her bringing an audience that wouldn't usually listen but they want to attract, which is all well and good if it isn't at the expense of good quality radio and the existing listeners. There's a big difference between hosting a podcast and a radio show on a national BBC station.

OJ Borg in for Paddy McGuinness on Sunday 8th June.

Also in the same week: Stefan Powell in for Owain Spoony in for Trevor Nelson Gary Davies in for Vernon Wednesday 11th-Friday 13th June

Emil in for Jamie alongside Vick on Going Home today and tomorrow.

Interesting. Seems logical to keep Spoony as the main cover for mid afternoons, as he was for Scott.

Ros Atkins in for Jeremy Vine on Monday 19th May, Tina Daheley sits in rest of the week. Saturday 24th May Shaun Keaveny in for Dermot O'Leary Richie Anderson in for Rylan.

Josh Widdecombe in for Romesh on Saturday 31st May and Saturday 7th June. He was actually quite good when he sat in the other month, so it's good to see him covering again.

Phil Williams in for OJ Borg next Wednesday (13th May) and w/c 26th May for the week. Connor Phillips sits in on Friday 16th May. Emma Willis in for Sara Cox on Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd June.

Friday 4th June Lauren Layfield in for Danni alongside Sam James Cusack on the Official Chart in for Jack Saunders.
