    Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home.

    That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

    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?

  2. 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.

    Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 

    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.

    Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?

    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.

    - Jamie Laing will take a break from Going Home from 28th July. Sam and Danni will cover.

    - Greg James will host his show until 11am from 21st July (Monday to Thursday only).

    - Mylo and Rosie, who previously hosted Hits Radio Breakfast in West Yorkshire, will host Friday EB in July.

    - Charley Marlowe of TikTok fame will host Friday EB in August.

    - Tskenya Frazer will host Life Hacks with Lauren Layfield in July, whilst Yinka Bikinni will host with Lauren in August.

    - Jamie Laing and Katie Thistleton will return to Going Home in September.

    -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.

  6. W/C 14th July

    Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay for two weeks

    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.

    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.

    I think OJ will be saved for covering Breakfast since he’s done a few on odd bank holidays

    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.

  10. 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.
