It seems the regular cover for Scott's show is almost always Matt these days. I would say that's a fairly good sign of him taking the slot permanently one day, but then Alice covers for Fearne often and look how that turned out. Surprised Clara's not in for Fearne actually.

Hard to see where Dev would fit in on weekdays really, other than being the regular cover for Greg.

I'd actually quite like to hear Chris Stark do a show on his own sometime, Chappers and Dave style. Matt Edmondson started off doing the showbiz on Fearne's show so it's not totally out of the question.

Good to have another student radio presenter on, apart from that, the whole schedule seems quite predictible. Clara isn't on as it seems she's away, as Scott is doing the chart on the 5th April. Annie seems to be away at Coachella or some festival too (from 30th-10th April) which seems strange as she's just started. Dan & Phil on as it's the first Monday of the month. Also, does anyone else think Greg's taking quite a lot of holidays lately? He'll be off on the 9th and 10th, too.

I note that Alice Levine is sitting in for Fearne from friday april 3 to at least Friday april 10 so Fearne's making sure she uses up all her holiday entitlement before she goes !

He did the Radio 1 Stories "Body Image" show about a month or two ago, which was by himself.

I'm really looking forward to One Hit Wonder Day. I like the music Radio 1 plays but it's nice every once in a while to hear slightly older songs being played again.

Anybody remember the Ten Hour Takeover? They haven't done one in so long, newer listeners won't get the joke in the Ten Minute Takeover.

I'm currently listening back to Izzie Clarke from this morning - two links in, I've heard nothing special. It's all fairly bland and tad cringey. If this is the best female in student radio, then there's a serious lack of talent coming through. Preferred that Jordan North bloke from earlier this year.

She was more or less just back announcing and introducing records. Doubt she'll be invited back. Think Jordan North might have a chance though, maybe even Pete Allisson could still be given a show, he seems to be a rising star, and he's friends with Chris Sawyer, Matt Deegan and Dave Cribb, who are kinda all part of the same "Radio Clique", so they might be quite influential.

Dev is doing a double shift today apparently. He's on air now 4pm-7pm in for Greg and then in for Phil Taggart who is in for Huw who is in for Annie who is on tour. Confused? Me too! To add to the mix, DJ Target has been drafted in to cover for Huw who is in for Annie tonight from 7pm.

I know! Phil and Huw are both ill hence the callups for Dev and Target. Phil was ill yesterday too and didn't do his show. It all seemed very last minute and they ended up replaying one of Annie's old Sunday night shows.

Izzie Clarke's idents sounded bloody ridiculous. I like Pete Allison, he sent me a Chrimbo card with a Capital pen, he's a bit of a geek and if he got into Radio 1 a little bit more, he'd be really strong I think. A key player.

Can I re-iterate that Gemma Cairney is ABSOLUTELY BLOODY AWFUL and anyone mentioned in this thread is far, far far better than anything she could do.

Izzie's show, it turns out, was recorded over two weeks ago, and yet still she's meh - with pre-recording, there's plenty of room for re-recordings and stuff. What a fail.

Phil said on his Twitter that as a result of an Easter mishap, he's concussed. Hence DOUBLE DEV! WOOOOOO! I'm listening, and it's weird hearing Dev in proper music mode, I'm wondering if he's ever heard of most of the music he's playing, but I'm quite enjoying it anyway.

If I were Izzie Clarke, I would have put in tremendous effort to that show - her (probably) one chance to get on Radio 1, blown (probably). Maybe that's not what she's in to anyway - she's doing some kind of physics degree, so maybe radio is just a hobby. If R1 isn't careful, they'll have another succession crisis in a few years - when Grimmy, Greg, Scott and Dev go, they won't be left with much. I'm thinking of Alice as a future breakfast show host perhaps, maybe Matt Edmondson drivetime? Can't see Phil Taggart ever doing daytime, so they'll be in need of more funny daytime people in 5-8 years time. Can't see Dev being on for more than 3-4 years unfortunately, and I'm slowly accepting that maybe he'll never see a weekday show again.

Of course, it goes without saying, Cairney is always, consistently bad. She was really getting on my tits the other day when she was just scream-laughing whilst talking to Grimmy at nothing particularly funny. I do not enjoy her show. Also, don't think she's particularly target either - a large part of her show "content" seems to be reminiscing things from the 90s. I know her show demographic is 36 year old male truckers, but still - she could at least try to sound more target.

I think I've gone off on a tangent somewhat; in summary, One Hit Wonder day was great. One thing I've noticed though: doesn't Alice Levine say her name a lot and play name IDs a lot.

Peace out.

    • 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
