Interesting, I think Grimmy covering Scott and Reggie covering Greg could be a sign of things to come. I hope that Grimmy teams up with Annie Mac if he does move to daytime.

I hope they don't rush Greg onto breakfast they seemed to rush him to afternoons, Dev is developing well on Early Breakfast but if he was rushed onto daytime it would be bad. However they seemed to have stop Greg covering for Scott, I thought Drive would be Greg's next obvious destination so maybe they will rush him to breakfast. :(

Huw deserves more than his new weekend slot, it's a good start though, I'd love him on mornings in the live lounge or at 10 to replace Grimmy.

I wouldn't like to see Scott leave anytime soon if he does leave drive (not for 50 yrs at least!!) I think he ought to go on Weekends like Coxy is at the moment or a morning or afternoon slot. Also wouldn't like to see Zane leave but Kissy sell out is brilliant.

I'd like to add another name to the hat, Andy George + Jaymo are fantastic, I hope that being with Moyles will give them some exposure as they are fantastic and they had a good rapport with Chris whose discussed them on his own show. I rate them well over both Tom andd Matt and think they deserve Early/Weekend Breakfast.

A conundrum is Dev, I really like him but he seems to polarise opinion and they've seem to have given up letting him cover daytime. Weekends may be best for him. Oh and Vernon has to do one Asap

Huw getting is daytime is unlikely as he's technically a specialist DJ. Plus he already 3 evening shows a week in the week. Annie Mac has said before in interviews that moving to permanent daytime would conflict with her DJ'ing. I would assume this is a similar case for Jaymo & Andy George

I do like Greg, but he wouldn't do well on the breakfast show. I highly doubt Chris is leaving, remember, this is from News of the World, but I think that the Beeb exect. would choose someone most suited to the role, which is Scott. He always covers for Chris while they're away anyway.

The sheep is not a creature of the air.

Pointless replacing Moyles with Mills. He's the same age and attracts a very similar audience. Changing the breakfast show would need to be for someone younger.

      Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe

      Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.

      To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday?

      It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week.

      Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!

      There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?

      Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.

      Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters

      Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.

      Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.

      Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.

      Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
