  1. Scott Mills has just mentioned he's in for Rylan on Saturday afternoon.
  2. He's in for Owain again for a week starting Monday 18th September
  3. Tina Daheley. She's his main cover, and does an even better job (in my opinion).
  4. A few more changes in the next few weeks: Nicki Chapman sits in for Michael Ball on Sunday 20th, 27th August and 3rd September. Also on the 27th, Paddy O'Connell in for Rob Beckett Richie Anderson in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 26th August and 2nd September OJ Borg sits in for Sara Cox from Tuesday 29th August to Friday 1st September. Phill Williams is on overnights all week. Anita Rani sits in for Claudia Winkleman on Saturday 2nd September (was originally listed as Davina McCall
  5. Bank Holiday Monday (28th August) Wynne Evans sits in for Owain Wyn Evans (from BBC Radio Wales mid mornings, also known for appearing in the Go Compare ads) Nicki Chapman in for Zoe on breakfast Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay Tony Blackburn's 'Summer Soul' special between 12 & 2pm Richie Anderson in for Scott Mills The ultimate Kylie song countdown with Steve Wright between 4 & 7pm. The Piano Room highlights between 7 & 9pm
  6. It isn't. They're something called Sunday Love Songs' Extra. I believe they're 30 minutes long and will be airing in the middle of the night like other Sounds content. The 7-9pm slot on the 21st-24th August has been renamed 'Steve Wright's Summer Nights'.
  7. Steve Wright appears to have some evening shows coming up. Monday 21st to Thursday 24th August 19:00-21:00 are listed as 'Sunday Love Songs', but the description says "Contemporary and classic tunes that say summer, mixed in with summer shout outs".
  8. Spoony sits in for Sara Cox on drive on Wednesday 26th July. Tina Daheley sits in for Jeremy Vine from Monday 14th to Friday 18th August. Edith Bowman is in for Jo Whiley during the same week. Huey Morgan sits in for Cerys Matthews on the Blues show on Monday 14th August.
  9. Gary Davies is in for Jo Whiley tonight.
  10. Paddy O'Connell sits in for Rob Beckett on Sunday 16th and 23rd July Richie Anderson sits in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 22nd July Gaby Roslin sits in for Zoe Ball from 31st July for at least a week. Phill Williams sits in for OJ Borg Tuesday 1st-Friday 4th August.
  11. The recent schedule announcement mentioned Shanequa will be co hosting Life Hacks through the summer.
  12. I'm not sure I understand the point of these changes. If it was a case of reducing the amount of shows over the summer, then maybe (even then, I thought it was poor for a national station to do that). Having three people hosting a show that lasts only 1 hr 45 seems a complete waste as well. I'm not sure starting half an hour is anything to do with 'giving Greg a lie in'. It's still an early start to get up. If it's that much of an issue, maybe they should have given him a bit of a summer break. The fact weekend breakfast isn't being changed to match as well makes the schedule a bit disjointed. Seems a bit odd to me to shift Arielle away from a mainstream daytime show (early breakfast is classed as daytime) to quite a specialist show. Would've probably made things slightly easier for her to cover for Clara.
  13. OJ is in for Sara today (26th June) as well, Phill Williams in for OJ on overnight.
  14. Tbf, this week... Jack and Jordan are both at Glastonbury, hence why they can't host. It's generally either Jordan or James Cusack (who is hosting today) who stand in.
  15. OJ Borg sits in for Rylan on Saturday 8th July. Week Commencing Monday 17th July OJ is in for Sara Cox on drive Gary Davies is in for Vernon Kay for two weeks.
  16. It says that she will still be heard on BBC Radio. She's on Radio 2 Friday night sitting in for Spoony.
  17. I suppose with Radio 2 moving out of Wogan House in the next few years, their remaining London based shows will make use of the studio space on the 8th floor.
  18. It got played on the breakfast show on Monday as a 10 min takeover request, Party Anthems and the chart yesterday and Friday before, plus last Saturday's Dance Anthems... So they're not totally against it. It wouldn't surprise me if it gets picked on Something Songs soon as well.
  19. I've heard several mentions of 'Innuendo Bingo' this week, from Vernon and Zoe the other morning, now Gary Davies tonight. I wonder if they're alluding to a return to it in some capacity? I doubt it would ever return in it's Radio 1 form with the water spitting.
  20. Dermot O'Leary is live from Worthy Farm (Glastonbury) between 3pm & 6pm on Saturday 24th June. Richie Anderson is in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 1st July Anita Rani sits in for Scott Mills on Tuesday 4th July.
  21. If you're referring to her new one, it's on Capital's playlist.
  22. A big example of that probably being Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5. They wouldn't playlist it despite how big it got. They gave it a lot of spot plays as it became too big to ignore I recall. Then they pretty much playlisted everything they did from then on through the 2010's (and of course had supported them heavily back in the day as well). Hips Don't Lie by Shakira is another one that wasn't playlisted... ... which is odd as I could've sworn I heard that a lot on Radio 1 at the time. Both tracks have been played a lot since though.
  23. Although I'm sure the age old debate of Radio 1 not playlisting certain records will crop up again. Tbh, it could reach the top 5 and I doubt they'll even C list it. Long gone are the days of Radio play being a deal-breaker in songs becoming hits.
