Roman Kemp is stepping down from his Capital breakfast show, although that's according to The Sun (they're usually correct with the entertainment 'exclusives', though).

Anita Rani is in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 14th and 21st October Richard Osman is sitting in for Rob Beckett on Sunday 15th and 22nd October W/C Mon 23rd October Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine

I heard the preview they've done. Sounds really good. They're on with Clara Amfo in a bit to talk about it.

Quite a few changes coming up in the coming days and weeks. Zoe Ball was off this morning, Gary Davies sat in. Scott's off from tomorrow and is back on Friday 29th September. Gaby Roslin sits in tomorrow and Friday (21st/22nd), with Anita Rani sitting in Monday 25th to Thursday 28th September Tina Daheley is in for Jeremy Vine tomorrow (21st) and next Monday (25th September), Victoria Derbyshire sits in this Friday. Gary Davies sits in for Trevor Nelson on the Rhythm Nation tomorrow night (Thursday 21st September) and all next week. Emma Willis sits in for Claudia Winkleman for the next two Saturdays Paddy O'Connell sits in for Liza Tarbuck on Saturday 30th September and 7th October.

Scott just mentioned on Radio 2 that it was over the weekend. Him and Vernon were there. Pete Tong was the wedding DJ.

I'm unsure how old they are, but Greg would've been 21 when he joined Radio 1 in 2007.

Greg is by far the best DJ on the station now. Fingers crossed he stays for a while longer yet. -RMC feel very wasted in their slot. They would've suited the 1pm slot as well. It just feels very crowded having 3 people on mid mornings. I can't help but feel they won't move beyond their current slot, although Charlie might have an extended future with Dance Anthems. -Sam & Danni are probably the best of the new intake, and have been long overdue a permanent slot. I'm sure they'll make the new weekend breakfast show their own, hopefully they progress to weekdays in the next couple of years.

I must admit, I echo what others have said above. I never thought I'd start to move on from Radio 1, but I have definitely started to move towards being a Radio 2 listener now. Although I massively miss Scott & Chris on R1, I think Scott has settled in well at Radio 2. I also agree Matt & Mollie would've been a much stronger choice for that slot. It's one of a few shows I do still enjoy. Scott & Chris' departure was definitely one of the biggest losses to Radio 1 in my opinion. I can't help but feel Dean's rise to weekday daytime was rather sudden, Vicky's even more so. Had they started up on weekends together, it wouldn't 'maybe' have sounded so so jarring?

Considering he's been at GHR since April, he don't half go on about the BBC and Radio 2, he's moved on in his career and so have R2. I can't see him being that enthusiastic playing the same oldies day in day out either...

Nicki Chapman in for Claudia Winkleman today. This has changed twice, originally listed as Davina McCall, then Anita Rani.

Scott Mills has just mentioned he's in for Rylan on Saturday afternoon.

He's in for Owain again for a week starting Monday 18th September

Tina Daheley. She's his main cover, and does an even better job (in my opinion).

Whoops. Amended!

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

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

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'.

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".

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.

Tonight as well.

Gary Davies is in for Jo Whiley tonight.

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.

The recent schedule announcement mentioned Shanequa will be co hosting Life Hacks through the summer.

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.

OJ is in for Sara today (26th June) as well, Phill Williams in for OJ on overnight.
