Just thought I would say I'm loving Nick's show at the moment! I think he has a great presentational style, and just generally enjoy listening to his show.

How do you think he'll cope with Scott's show this week? Hopefully he will be as good as he is on his regular slot.

Latest additions:

- Full Imaging Beds package (2009-2010)

- 2009 re-voice by Music4 (DRY+WET IDs, chart numbers 1-40)

- BBC Top Gear - Backing beds used in programs

As far as the whole takeover is concerned, I'm not minding it too much.

Zane's presentational style is alright on breakfast, I find him entertaining when he's talking about things and bantering with the others in the studio and its very clear he's got a lot of energy and enthuisam for what he does, which definitly helps. Having said that I don't particualrly like the music he plays as a lot is more band and rocky orientated and I like dance and chart although I do know that there will be more dancey music from time to time such as Swedish House Mafia and Example.

Annie and Huw I both like quite a lot. I would much rather have Annie on in the mornings instead of Fearne permanantly and Huw is just as good after lunch as Greg is. I've not listened to much of them yesterday and today because of work etc, but they seem to be a little more diverse with their music than Zane is and perhaps lean a bit more to the kind of things on the playlist than he does and this is more than acceptable in my opinion.

Nick however I haven't listened to, and my radio will be OFF after 4pm till Scott gets back. There is nothing about this guy that makes me want to listen to him. I don't like his "uber coolness" or the sound of his voice, and I am almost certain that I will not have any time for his taste in music either.

If its a specialist takeover get Westwood to do a similcast on R1 and 1Xtra, its been done before. Not really a fan of "black music" myself, but to be honest I think the man is a damn sight more entertaining than Nick bloody Grimshaw. If Westwood couldn't/wouldn't do it then get Nihal on, nobody can say that a show with Asian music isn't specialist and again he is a pretty good presenter.

Not impressed with censorship

Today is the first time I've listened to him in this slot (I've listened to bits of his evening show but it's on really late for me!) and I'm really enjoying it.

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • 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?
    • 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”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • 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.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
