I was wondering when Fearne would take another week off seeing as she's been on air for a full 2 weeks and next week would make it 3! :)

But it'll be wonderful to hear Annie on. I really enjoy when she covers. Same can't be said for Huw though. I just can't listen to his shows and when I know he's covering Scott, I don't make it through the first three songs and switch off after Newsbeat. Personally, I would have put Dev on Scott's show on the Tuesday and put Huw on all week on covering for Greg.

Huw Stephens just doesn't make sense to me in Scott's slot. I'd rather Matt Edmonson was primary cover, or Alice Levine if he's not available.

Good on Fearne for making it through a whole 3 weeks on air, she deserves a good break.

Glad Dev seems to be primary cover for Greg James these days :)

Scott's presenting the show solo today ie Chris is absent after he took in Scott's words "a funny turn". In all the time Chris has been on the show, I can't ever think of a time he hasn't done the show except Bank Holidays. It's sure to sound strange without him.

All week

10am Annie Mac in for Fearne

4pm Dev in for Greg

Tuesday 3rd

1pm Huw Stephens in for Scott

Friday 6th

9pm B-Traits in for Pete Tong

Dev sits in for Greg for a 2nd week june 9-13 .fearne is back as normal on june 9. The only other change that week is that Danny Howard is sitting in for Pete Tong on june 13, and Phil Taggart is off mon june 9 and tue june 10 so Alice is presenting solo. Also Daniel P Carter is co presenting Zane Lowes show on monday june 9 for some reason

The highlight of the week is that Scott is presenting a world cup special on monday june 9 at 9pm .Who'd have thought that would ever happen!

I'm assuming it's to do with Download that Dan P Carter is cohosting

    • I mean I've been growing our engagement on Facebook in my department, there's still an untapped audience there. Also, as you alude to, the number of community groups has grown a lot since lockdown. I'd love to hear more about their thinking. If this had been Radio 1's strategy I don't think anyone would have disagreed.
    • I think they must’ve been slowly killing of their social media presence I know for Radio 2 and 6 they do have dedicated unofficial social media groups so there is an audience. All Request Friday and features like that has a place on social media as can get requests via comment sections but I think Facebook struggles to know what it is these days.
    • I just think it's more about what they're doing. If all you've got is a DJ dancing to Beyonce's latest hit for thirty seconds or Sara Cox reading out the All Request Friday number in a funny way it's not really what Facebook prioritises. I think it's great that studio interaction, but it does lend itself to Instagram and TikTok more. But I honestly believe there is a place for Facebook with the Radio 2 audience. The trouble is Radio 2 have barely used Facebook for the last year so there doesn't seem to have been a strategy there.
    • Agree, all I'd see on x was medical professionals from other health trusts having a very carefully worded pop at each other, mixed in with a clip of jeremy vine with a camera on his helmet, a very strange place indeed! I imagine they have some data to back it up, but is the r2 audience really using tiktok? 
    • I get not putting resources into X which these days is a strange mix of angry political debate and adult content only. But you'd think Facebook was still the most popular social channel amongst Radio 2 audiences.
    • Radio 2 seem to have decided that their strategy is just short video, so it does probably make sense with Instagram and TikTok. But I find it hard to believe there's not longer form content that wouldn't suit Facebook better.
    • These late announcements are so lacklustre. It's not quite like the time they announced Harry Styles last minute!
    • Friday - Nathan Dawe, Wilkinson Saturday - Jax Jones Sunday - London Grammar, Remi Woolf, AJ Tracey
    • Probably got fed up of the usual moaning bastards all over it, asking for Ken Bruce and Jimmy Young back on air. 
    • Think it may have been better to include Radio 1 in this and 1 xtra ultimately focus on boosting a BBC Sounds social media to bring the multi-generational content marketed to a broader audience through one singular channel and having a separate social brand skewed to younger audiences maybe they should consider just having a @BBC @BBCSounds  @BBCSport @BBCNews @BBCFresh (youth brand) social media acounts national. 
    • Although a lot of their target audience do seem to be moving across to Instagram now.
    • I suppose it's because not a lot of people use Twitter (or X) so maybe it's not worth their time, surprised about Facebook though.
    • Surprised to learn Radio 2 and 6 Music are moving away from X and Facebook, I would have thought there's more appeal in Radio 1 doing that instead. Their target audiences still use Facebook, and it's still a key way to reach a good mix of audiences. Agree about X though, don't see any need for it. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2024/05/bbc-radio-2-and-6-music-quit-facebook-and-x-publishing/
    • Just wondering…has any DJ got the answer wrong yet? I’ve not heard one and they are pretty tough questions! 😆
    • On the weekends theme @Bluestraw said this in the chatbox but I was listening live to James cusack's show yesterday and agree it would be a travesty if he doesn't feature in the weekend plans. Both the greg james fb page and users on digital spy are saying similar. Imagine that, being both part of the LGBTQ+ community but able to appreciate good presenters in 2024.
