  1. 1. What Will He Do?

Baha I laughed at the idea of Scott doing commercial radio, there's no way he'd go back to that tripe, he's said so himself.

I think so long as he can keep coming up with new ideas and making a good show every day, he'll want to renew it (assuming Radio 1 don't try and push him out). He might go to Radio 2, but I'm not sure I could see him doing that either.. I suspect that the day he leaves Radio 1 is the day he leaves radio.

I think the contract ends early next year. He might well have been hinting he's leaving with the whole last play of World Cup/ Christmas song thing but I'll think he'll stay but he's over 40 and if what they wanted with moyles is true he might go.

I actually think he'll agree to swap with Matt and move to weekends so he can focus on TV projects and do the Strictly tour !

I think that's unlikely for several reasons.

I don't think Matt would want to go five days a week, because at the moment he does more TV than Scott does, and TV is his main thing. He wouldn't give up TV work to do more radio shows I don't think.

Plus, I highly doubt Scott would go back to weekends. It's an obvious demotion, and I think he should go out at the top of his game (whilst still on daytime) and not slowly be phased out from Radio 1 by going to weekends. Plus Scott barely does any TV apart from the Lottery and Eurovision anyway, and that doesn't take five days a week.

Just a thought here, Scott could do his regular show 1-4 Mon-Fri and then do Saturday 10-1, like moyles did between 98 and 01. Matt can then just do Sunday.

Well, if they really want to get rid of him because of his age, probably not a good idea to give him even more airtime, isn't it?

That's silly. Considering the amount of preparation it takes for a show, would you really expect Scott to do six a week? Plus, when would he have time to do stuff to actually talk about on air? Then, why would R1 want an older outgoing DJ to more shows per week, displacing a younger DJ on his way up to just one show a week? That would never happen.

Plus Moyles only did the Saturday show because his weekday show was just 4-5.45.As soon as he got an extra hour he gave up the Saturday show

I'd like to see this happen

0400: New DJ

0630: Greg James

1000: Gemma Cairney ( I do believe she's becoming the new fearne)

1300: Matt Edmonson

1600: Nick Grimshaw

( New idea here after newsbeat, the slots go like this)

1800: Scott Mills

2000: Zane Lowe

2130: Documentary Slot

2230: Phil Taggart

0000: Simulcast With 1Xtra

I don't like the idea of Zane having a shorter show & starting later in the day, I think he's great at what he does and he's one of the best DJs on the station (plus Ben Cooper promised they wouldn't have less specialist hours than they currently do).

I think Alice Levine could do Fearne's slot, although Gemma would be alright (I don't like her personally but the management seem to want to give her a chance).

Although I loved Scott on drive, I can't see him doing it again personally for a number of reasons, plus it doesn't make sense to create new teams for two hour shows when the current format works perfectly well.

If they were to give Matt a week day show (which I'd love) I think this would be what Radio 1 would do:

04:00 - Gemma Cairney (or maybe someone new)

06:30 - Greg James

10:00 - Alice Levine (she seems to be covering daytime shows in the week and since she's now got a daytime show at the weekend it's possible)

13:00 - Nick Grimshaw (although I'd like to keep Scott)

16:00 - Matt Edmonson (they might put Matt on 1-4 instead but I'd prefer it this way round since Matt has more potential with more production in my opinion)

The rest of the day would continue as usual...

However if I was PC this is what I would do:

04:00 - Nick Grimshaw (would cover drive when Matt's away)

06:30 - Greg James

10:00 - Alice Levine

13:00 - Scott Mills (would cover breakfast when Greg's away, as is already in his contract)

16:00 - Matt Edmonson

Then Zane at 7 etc etc

I'd also like Aled to produce Scott again since he did good things for both Mills & Moyles on their shows, although I'm not sure if he'd take the gig.

I think Grimmy deserves drive, and with Matt Fincham as his producer he is doing really well.

I think Alice Levine is a little overrated at the moment. I really like her, but when listening she had this amateur sound to her.

If Scott swapped with Matt it would actually be a sort of promotion because the weekend 10am slot is the most high profile weekend slot where as his current slot is lower than breakfast or drive,and he can always say he chose to move because of all the tv stuff he's doing!

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • 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
