I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this already. Loving the older music today, and the use of the old chart imaging (if I heard correctly) is a lovely touch.

I did not know it was a full day if I'm honest, Just listening to Dev now, That's JK and Joel's original chart package he started off with!

Now if they'd used the 2006/7/8/9/11 news ins as well that would have been perfect (although nothing really to do with the chart, just me being a geek).

Aha I'm totally with you there! Would have added that final touch! I'm just wondering who's idea it was to use the old chart packages for the different years? But it goes to show they keep all the old jingles etc somewhere.

Probably download them from this site haha! But seriously, you'd keep them too if they cost that much!

It screams Aled to me! They played the old Big Weekend beds when they did that day couple of months ago.

Wonder if they'll play out a montage of all the old chart hosts or something similar before the end of the show. That would also be a nice touch to hear a bit of "Hi, this is Wes" again, amongst others.

I very much enjoyed the day I must admit. Definitely a great touch hearing all the old chart imaging. If you look at timelines, most imaging lasted 2-3 years, with the last major change to the current Music4 package in 2012. Leaves me wondering if we might get something new with Greg on Friday (tweeted him to ask - hope to get a reply!) Will be tuned in with perked up ears!

Listening to all the different packages again and the 2010-2011 package is still on top for me! The current one (which got refreshed in 2013 for Jameela) is grating on me a bit now, and they hardly used any of the alt versions of the beds either!

I too am hoping that Greg gets a new package, It is a completely new show in a way after all, even if he used the 2010 package I'd be happy haha!

Do we know what will become of the Chart Update? The R1 website says "there are no upcoming broadcasts of this programme", so does that mean it's been binned off for good? I remember they launched it to much fanfare back in 2010, but now it seems it's being quietly dropped. It could potentially work on a Tuesday afternoon, no?

Not that it's a great loss, it just means we get an extra half-hour of Mills content each week! Could we be seeing the first ever post-3:30 Bamboleo?

I don't know if anyone cares, but the chart of the year so far today had the old imaging package. Not sure if it was possibly pre-recorded.

I didn't hear many (if any) timestamps. To be honest, a 6-day week for Scott isn't really fair on him.

    • 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
