I don't think Dean and Vicky was the long term plan for the show. Replacing Mills and Stark was always an impossible job for whoever took it on and would have had flak for it. I think they wanted someone in that was far away from that show ready for now. I don't know if Matt and Mollie were always the intended recipients of it or if they had someone else planned. At the time there was a lack of quality available besides Matt and Mollie and maybe they wanted to give Dean and Vicky airtime as they have big plans for them moving forward

It's not a good look. R1 really wide of the mark with this appointment. Vick and Katie have excellent chemistry so don't need Jamie. Maybe they didn't think Katie would move to London or Vick wouldn't go Manchester permanent. Strange decision. Will be interesting hearing the listeners figures in 3 months

I think Matt works well with anyone or on his own. A multi purpose presenter.

Lots of good presenters available. Spoony, Trevor, Angela, rickie, Melvin, romesh Bbc needs to take it sister stations more seriously. 1dance is all repeats. Need to look at how global runs the capital stations with regular hosts

Also Ricky and Melvin start up the 1xtra takeover from dance anthems would be huge. They have experience hosting breakfast on kiss.

Arielle won't commit to doing a weekend show as her dj commitments. She would realistically do live lounge as she does presenting like Clara and charisma of Annie mac. Would love her on drive. Think people would enjoy that. Think Ricky and Melvin will leave to host on 1xtra leaving Charlie on dance anthems and Friday cover. They clearly like Ore and James so want them in full time at some point. Maybe Nat and Ore on early with James and Vicky on weekends. Not sure where that leaves Dean though maybe Chart to begin with or a weekend breakfast if Sam and danni get drive.

I think Arielle replaces rmc and Nat and Ore doing early Vick and Jamie will break up within a year and Sam and Danni will move in
