Jason Mohammad in for Owain this week
Shaun Keaveny in for Liza Tarburck on Saturday 15th and Rob Beckett on Sunday 16th March.
Ellie Taylor is no longer listed as covering Sara Cox's show on 25th/26th March. It has reverted to Sara on the schedule, although OJ Borg mentioned when sitting in for her yesterday that he's covering drivetime again in a few weeks.

OJ Borg in for Paddy McGuinness on Sunday 9th March.

Ellie Taylor’s had radio experience before on heart
Ah, fair enough. Thank you. The rest of my point stands though.

Bit of a random one on Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th January
Ellie Taylor (I assume the comedian and tv presenter) in for Sara Cox. Presenting debut on R2. Has she ever done any radio elsewhere before?
I could understand if it was one of the weekend shows, they regularly have tv personalities sitting in but drivetime seems a bit of an odd choice. Even if OJ Borg was unavailable (he's currently listed on his usual slot on those days), surely there are plenty of existing Radio 2 presenters they could call upon?

Ros Atkins is sitting in for Jeremy Vine today
-
Richie Anderson is in for Rylan today.

Here's an interesting one... Sara Cox is in for Scott covering breakfast on Monday 10th March. She was previously the main stand in for Chris Evans on the breakfast show prior to her taking over drivetime.
In turn, OJ Borg is in for Sara on drive.. and Phil Williams is on overnight for OJ.
-
Gary Davies in for Vernon tomorrow (Tuesday 11th February)
-
Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine from Monday 10th February for two weeks
Phil Williams covering OJ Borg from Monday 17th February for a week
Romesh Ranganathan is off again on Saturday 15th February.. Josh Widdecombe sits in
Michelle Visage is in for Elaine Paige On Sunday all this month.
Alex Jones in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 22nd February
Shaun Keaveny in for Rob Beckett on Sunday 23rd February

James Cusack and Sam & Danni have settled into their new shows really well, Sam & Danni's show will go from strength to strength as time goes on. The new slot will give them perfect chance to build up to an inevitable move to weekdays.
Going Home is the weak link on the station for me, sadly. It really has suffered losing Jordan. I don't really listen to the show anymore but I gave it a go last week and wasn't impressed. Jamie Laing kept just frequently interrupting with inane comments that added very little. I just don't see the need for him when Vick & Katie were already an established duo.
RMC are fine as presenters.. although i don't think it's ever been the right slot for them. I don't think mid morning needs a trio.
Jack Saunders was destined for the new music show so that was another one of Aled's better decisions.

I think all the above posts have summed up overall how I feel. I can't believe it's been nearly a year since Jordan left. I've got to be honest, I feel myself turning over to Radio 2 and sticking with it a lot more often. Greg and Matt are definitely the strongest presenters on the station. I'm not as fully sold on the Matt & Jerry pairing as much as I am Matt & Mollie, that said it's still enjoyable, especially when you compare with what we had on afternoons until last summer. Moving Matt and Mollie to weekdays is the best decision Aled has made in my opinion.
Greg has definitely stepped things up a gear again, especially since his new producer came in and since Jordan started at Capital. Nothing will ever beat the Chris Smith pairing, but Greg and Calum are a great double act, the on air interaction with the production team is great as well. I hope he has a few more years on the show at the least as there is no one obvious to replace him in my opinion.

Yeah, pretty much echoing what people have said, that was a great first show and he sounded right at home. Love the jingles, the 'easiest' quiz is fun and he has great rapport with Tina and Ellie. All those breakfast shows he's done over the years have paid off. The Birthday Game gives some nice familiarity from the afternoon show, and sits well as a feature along many things, rather than on the afternoon show where some days it was the 'main event'

He told The One Show it was already chosen. It's old and it was recently in the cinema. Any guesses?
A Robbie Williams song would be my guess. Let Me Entertain You maybe?

Another week of Mark Goodier on breakfast, OJ Borg on afternoons and Phil Williams on overnights next week before the new schedule launches on the 27th January.
Emma Willis is in for Romesh Ranganathan on Saturday 18th January.

I thought it would be worth a thread of it's own to give thoughts on Global's strategy, whether it's in agreement/disagreement, who will host the new national shows.
I feel for those who have lost their jobs, some of which have been on the air over 20 years however.. they will have probably been aware that this would have happened before long. The writing was on the wall when they axed the regional breakfast shows.
Going forwards, does anyone reckon they will just expand the existing London drive shows on Heart/Capital and breakfast on Smooth? They pretty much did that with Roman Kemp and Jamie Theakston when breakfast went national. I can definitely see Jenni Faulkner on Smooth breakfast and JK & Kelly Brook on Heart drive, although I think they might eye up changes for Capital's drive show.

This has now been updated. OJ is on breakfast, but Victoria is in for Jeremy, and Richie is covering the afternoon show.

Sometimes Trevor’s show is pre recorded maybe this will be the case for afternoons
That certainly won't be the case. If he's away, someone else will cover.

Seems Spoony has had brain surgery over Christmas. Hope he is ok. Nice to see OJ has some weekday cover slots as well. Wonder if Mark will be the go to cover now with Scott? Gary in for Vernon as well.
I heard Spoony revealing it on the radio, understandably he gotta bit emotional when talking about it. Glad to hear he's on the mend and back on air.
OJ is the main stand in for Sara (he's covering this week bar tonight and tomorrow because of no drive time show on NYE/NYD) but yeah I'm glad he's doing the interim afternoon slot from next week. It's a shame he didn't get the slot full time to be fair. Will be interesting to see who covers Trevor going forwards. I don't think we'll see Mark covering often to be fair. He's only done one day cover since he returned (one day in fir Vernon). OJ and Gary Davies seem to fill the void that Mark Goodier used to fill sitting in for the main DJs. They're probably just a bit stuck for cover presenters at the moment. Had Grimmy not still been on 6 music next week, he would've been a good shout to sit on either show (his Rylan cover has been great but that's for another post)

Mark Goodier is presenting the breakfast show next week, with OJ Borg on the afternoon show and Phil Williams on overnights all week.

Is that a late change? It was meant to be Spoony today and tomorrow wasn’t it?
Yeah I think so. Spoony was meant to be on all week (except Christmas day). Tomorrow and Boxing Day was definitely meant to be Spoony followed by Richie at 4, but they've just merged the two shows together on those days.
Richie is actually on for 5 hours on Boxing Day between 2 and 7.

Richie Anderson is doing the mid afternoon slot (2-4pm) today and Friday. Tomorrow (Christmas Eve) and Boxing Day he's on for 4 hours between 2 and 6pm.
He's also in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 28th December and Saturday 4th January.

Ruth Jones and James Corden, alongside other Gavin & Stacey cast members are hosting the breakfast show on Monday 23rd December.
