They really are trying different cover presenters in the daytime slots these days. I'm amazed they've got Reggie to do it. Its not very often he would cover for anyone...

This is interesting! Will be good to hear Reggie again when he has the freedom to do a show and not the strict format shows he does at the weekend. Iv always thought he would get a perm daytime slot eventually if he stayed aroundlong enough! Not looking forward to the Reggie/Fearne handovers though!

I think Dev would be reeling if they did..

I think Dev will be next to go. I have never really heard good things about him and even when i had 12 months of doing earlies i never really liked listening to him as it always sounded so forced or rehearsed which is totally the opposite to Moyles' off the cuff humour for example.

Reggie in for Greg, that's an interesting one, a possible test for a near schedule change?

Capes :)

A shame really Huw is on weekends as he was ideal in this slot when Greg was away.

Years ago the weekend DJ's used to fill in during the week far more frequently than they do now. I hope just becuase Huw now does weekends he doesn't stop covering during the week. Say Greg has a fortnight off, surely Huw could fill in while Matt, Jaymo and Andy George or Jemma from 1Xtra covered the weekends.

Thats true. It hardly happens now - weekends used to be where the up and coming presenters made their name, got a bit of daytime exposure before getting a regular weekday slot. Its changed the last few years with Reggie, vernon & Jo and Edith at the weekends who clearly didnt want to do cover.

I hate at the moment how when someone is off the whole daytime schedule gets changed while they move people all over the place. doesnt work.

Couldn't agree more. Colin and Edith were on weekends and covered breakfast before they got the 1-4 slot. There are countless other examples. The schedule doesn't need to change round for anything except breakfast. That's the big show so should have the biggest names presenting it, namely Scott and Chris. But at weekends they have loads of people who can cover shows, Sara Cox, Reggie, Huw etc, even Edith Bowman. Then surely in 1Xtra DJ's surely they have the perfect replacements and are monitoring up and coming talent at the same time.

Plus I hope if Matt's show becomes a success he gets the chance to fill in for Greg, or maybe even Fearne? I think he'd be a perfect fill in for her entertainment and music based show.

And don't really get it...there is a weekend DJ covering for Greg now, so all business as usual. It was irritating indeed that they had Scott to breakfast, Greg on drive and Dev or someone else doing Greg's show, but that's not happening this time. Last week, Grimshaw was doing Scott's show, not Reggie is on for Greg - Both nice experiments, methinks. Reggie is doing a good job at the moment.

04:00 - 06.30 - Matt Edmonson in for Dev

06.30 - 10.00 - Scott Mills in for Chris Moyles

10.00 - 13.00 - Fearne Cotton

13.00 - 16.00 - Dev in for Greg James

16.00 - 19.00 - Greg James in for Scott Mills

That is too much disruption for a station. I'm on a student radio station and when our schedule gets mucked up too much because of cover it annoys me, let alone the biggest national radio station in the country. It's time Radio 1 (as they are doing this week) put faith in its weekend DJ's. You've made the decsision to put Greg on afternoon's, stick to it. In Matt Edmondson, Huw Stephens, Sara Cox, Annie Mac and Reggie Yates they have more than capable cover DJ's. I do think its a good idea to put Dev in for Greg sometimes, to give him the experience, but for the most part keep things simple R1!

There really should be some kind of rule/policy at the station with the people who manage the schedule and covers no more then 2 of the daytime/weekend DJ's per week should be away/out of normal shows, for example.

I manage a team of 8 managers and have to make sure that no more than 2 are away at anyone time, or I don't have enough people to cover shifts properly, or get everyones tasks covered - basically we have a week of shit - i get one person to cover another and then another and theres always one thing that gets neglected! Its kind of the same principle.

      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!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      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

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      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.
