That Radio 1 spin off station has been confirmed as Radio 1 Anthems launching Friday 8th Nov

They're hardly going to move Nat and Vicky when they've barely even bedded into the mid-morning slot. If RMC do Fridays then N+V will probably just be dropped down to two days.

No she isn’t that’s Scott Mills sits in

There was a listener who called in to Greg to ask why he hadn’t been kidnapped last Tuesday and he said that probably means something’s going to happen soon. It’s getting very late to do one though.

It’s unusual but it’s the only thing that makes sense. The only other presenters that do cover are Sam and Danni but if they were available they would be covering breakfast. Shame they don’t bring some of the specialist presenters in for cover, they’ve done well on normal shows during events like the DJ Hunt etc.

To be fair to Jamie, his attendance record isn’t exactly his fault and it doesn’t show that he’s uncommitted. Jordan’s shock departure meant they had to throw this show together and they’d didn’t have time to make everything work out. For that reason it’s likely that Jamie had all these prior commitments when he was offered the show and was told he could do the show and keep his commitments. If the Jordan situation was better they could’ve launched a long time later when Jamie was freer.

Just on the topic of why schedule changes happened, does anyone know why the Sat and Sun editions of Early Breakfast were dropped? Because I remember when Arielle started it she did all three days but by the time she got the weekday version she'd been doing only Friday for quite some time.

Does that really make it make sense? Just because the new show wasn't going to start over the summer doesn't mean they couldn't have announced who was presenting it. Think about how many months in advance the Matt and Mollie move was announced.

This is getting ridiculous. Launching all these schedule changes and still not announcing a new host for weekend afternoons. They’re a bit late on announcing the festivals bit as well.

They seem to have updated Ore Olukoga’s picture as well despite him not even having a show so it might be nothing to read into.

Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

How can that be possible, when Katie said on the first episode of the new podcast that she got the call afterwards and was surprised because she'd heard about Jamie being announced and thought that was it?

They announced that hottest record is at 6:30 on breakfast this morning

Let's just hope this one doesn't go the same way that 'Ask Aled' went...

I love that they brought the Bong Game back. Proper retro Capital, I still remember way back when Johnny and Lisa did it.
