Just seen on the listings that in a late change to the schedule Matt will be sitting in for Scott this coming thursday (feb 27).He's also sitting in for Scott on tuesday march 11. Looks like Matt has now replaced Huw as first choice stand in for Scott. Could that mean he's being lin d up to replace him when he leaves?

I never understood why Huw stood in for Scott. Huw is such a music DJ that he doesn't suit a show like Scott's. To be fair, though, around the time when Huw covered everything (last year after Grimmy, who stood in for Scott and Greg before, moved to breakfast) who else was around to provide cover?! Matt can now cover Scott full-time, as can Dev with Greg when Dev moves to weekend brekkie. Alice Levine, though, should get to do drive again she was great!

I think Matt will be Scott's permanent replacement, he's brilliant

I've got a feeling that Huw might decide to leave his weekend show and focus on his specialist show,and I think he will be replaced by a female DJ.Possibly Sarah Jane Crawford,or maybe Alice Levine. With Gemma moving to weekdays they need to increase the no of female presenters on at weekends.It could even h appen as soon as the end of march when the other changes happen

I would move Danny Howard's show to 1xtra. And move Sara Jane Crawford I that place. I think she is really great and I didn't realise how good she was until last week.

Also I think Scott would be great on the Official Chart when he stops afternoons

No no and no. Danny's turned into a great presenter and I think Dance Anthems is a really good show. It's obviously not to everyone's tastes but the music is great even if the show does start a bit early.

Sarah-Jane Crawford ? I'll admit I haven't heard much of her but Radio 1 needs more Alice Levines, not SJCs who add fuel to the "R1 is dumbing down" fire. Adele Roberts on the other hand is great. Really loved her covering Dev on early breakfast. Would gladly see her take over R1 Weekend Breakfast with Dev moving to weekend afternoons.

Absolutely no chance of Scott doing the chart full-time. I'd be very disappointed in both R1 for insulting him with an offer and him for taking it if he moved to the chart. It would be a complete insult to ask him to do the most dull show on the schedule when Scott is their most creative, entertaining presenter. Scott's a Lamborghini and the Chart has turned into a rusty old Astra - Big Top 40 has overtaken it in the ratings it as well.

Scott's last show on R1 should be in the current timeslot- I'd hate to see him slowly get demoted. Also, Scott's hinted that he'll know when the time is right to leave and if Cooper boots him off afternoons, I think that decision will be made for him.

I really love Sara Jane, she actually puts much more effort into her show than you think! She stays everyday from around 11am to 6pm!

That's not particularly impressive. Scott's in from about 12-7 every day and most working people do 7-8 hour days and I'd imagine the show team need at least 3 hours to prepare for the next show.

But Sara. Although people think she's just a tv dumb presenter, she is not. She cares about the show and the output, she puts much more effort than Fearne Cotton. I'd really love her to cover more on BBC Radio 1. Also she's doing really well on other online discussions!

I think we can all agree on the person putting the least amount of effort in to their show is Fearne Cotton!! The daily mail always seem to picture her arriving at 9 and I think she grabs her coat at the last song into Newsbeat!

Just out of curiosity, how do people know that Scott arrives as 12 and leaves at 7? Is that just a guess at an 8 hour day? I love as much as the next person but I really dont imagine he is there until 7pm!

No, I love Scott, but he's probably not their until 7- unless he has to be on Gregs show for some reason (like Gregs Ice bath), or a meeting. If not he might go around 5/6?

I wouldn't be surprised if that's true. Turn up at 9, research the music/ Live Lounge act, go through the running order and get through the show by reading out tweets/texts and fact sheets about songs that the producers have prepared. Oh, and saying "this is beautiful" or "I love this track" before every song to show that she reeeeeeealy cares and that she's such a massive music fan.

I'm sure she's outta there by 1. I remember when Greg used to be on at 1 and they'd do a handover/chat at 12:40 and then Greg would introduce the 12:45 Newsbeat rather than Fearne. Always found that strange. God forbid her and Holls have to queue for lunch.

I think it depends. I've seen tweets from Chris Sawyer saying he's just leaving at 7. For things like Transfer Deadline Day, I'd say they're easily there 'til 7 but day-to-day, it's probably more like 5:30-6.

I'd say they're there at 12 at the latest. They do the handover with Fearne at 12:35 and I'd say they have a meeting before that to finalise the show's running order and whether anything's happened that day which is worth talking about plus going through the Innuendo Bingo clips.

Actually I did see 1xtra headcam when they were sat down asking questions to Big Boss Ben. Scott, Chris, and Producer Cara were leaving the green room area to go to the office at around 4-45. So he doesn't leave until around 5-30 surely?

On another feature on another show I think someone mentioned Chris Stark is usually in at 9am, "checking the social medias"!

Wow, seriously ? Great enthusiasm if true. Main thing I like about him is that he's so enthusiastic and is clearly so pleased to be there and just seems very grateful to have the job he has.

    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Just Vick and Katie on Wednesday (and presumably Thursday as well).
    • Unless people can provide a source for this information then it should be treated as false.   Why would Jordan sign a contract with the BBC in the autumn when he agreed a deal with Global?  He could have left in August and not had to deal with the BBC.  Vick who doesn't really like Global why would she recommend him to go there and then warn him in her post to be careful?   It's been whispered from October that Roman was thinking of going.  Roman and Jordan have the same management team.  Why would they put Jordan in a place where he would have to battle with the BBC.  They could have agreed a deal with Global for Jordan in the summer.  They might have had to pay first couple months but they would do they to secure him.  If they had known about Roman wanting to leave they could have paid Roman off to get Jordan on air quicker.  Global would also not had legal around BBC contract to deal with and would not have had to pay the BBC to release Jordan.  None of what people say makes sense and if it did happen the way people say then BBC are not the stupid ones.  It really is not a good look to be talking with Global for 6 months, to then sign a contract with a the BBC, continue to talk to Global behind BBC's back after signing and then couple of months later want to leave and to throw a hissy fit as the BBC are not giving you what you want when you want it. That not a good light for Jordan or his management.   
    • Wow, surprised he signed a new contract in September but it says a lot about Jordan that he continued to a very high standard throughout last summer/autumn if this was all going on in the background. 
    • They knew Roman wanted to leave early last year but wasn't officially announced but he gave them time to sort replacement. Found and offered Jordan a deal in June or July and needed time to get Jordan out of Contract at bbc and roman to do notice  Jordan had dinner with Katie Vick and Arielle to ask advice and all said he should go.   
    • And they told Radio 4’s Feedback that it was an ‘experiment’ to ‘look at the best way to serve young listeners’ but reaffirmed that 280 hours commitment.
    • I doubt he wanted to go to Global if a slot before he found out kemp was leaving.
    • We're hoping to get some answers in the coming weeks
    • From what he's saying on the Pod he's been trying to get out of r1 for a while. Looks like he needed to wait for a show on global to be available. Jordan had bbq last summer with most of thr global execs and he's referenced the deal was in place then. Obviously the hold up was r1 being stubborn
    • All seems to be back to normal this morning.
    • Indeed and Jordan was already friends with Sian Welby, Will Manning and Jimmy Hill.  
    • It's great to see those friendships still thriving. I think the days of Radio 1 DJs and Capital DJs being unable to co-exist is long over. You used to either be firmly BBC or commercial, and you don't get the sense that's the case anymore.
