Yasser is in for Scott on the Official Chart on Friday 13th August.

Is he the one on Asian Network? I remember he used to cover the CBBC Chart Show for Cel. 
 

When Vick goes to drive, who do we think will be the cover for the Chart?

Yep he does Asian Network drive Mon-Thurs.

Chart cover could still be Vick & Katie.  Or Vick & Jordan.  Or Vick, Katie or Jordan solo?

I'd hazard a guess Vick & Katie (or Katie on her own) will remain chart cover. I'm assuming with them doing cover for Jordan (and Vick i assume will be off part of August anyway) is the reason Yasser has been drafted in. It's been a good while since he appeared on Radio 1. I recall he used to stand in for Dev on weekend breakfast on occasion (he used to do weekend brekkie during Big Weekend) so it's good to hear some existing BBC voices being drafted in as well as giving new voices a chance. Harpz Kaur off of Asian Network is covering Matt & Mollie in a few weeks

Sunday 15th August

Vick Hope solo

Friday 20th August

6-9pm Dance Party with Jax Jones

Pete Tong starts at 9pm

Friday 20th has now been edited back to the usual 6-8, 8-10, 10-12.  Danny Howard did post on Instagram that 20th August would be his final 8pm show, so 27th August and 3rd September will follow the 6-9, 9-12 pattern before the new shows/presenters launch the following week.

14th August: Jessica Maciel sits in for Charlie on Dance Anthems.

She's one of the presenters that got a run during Christmas last year.

Good to see that happening to be fair Jack Saunders, Benji, Lifehacks, Soundsystem and early breakfast has had Christmas cover some given shows on radio 1 few some work outside bbc with commercial so think it is slowly delivering something

Probably won't be Vick Hope for that Reading Show on the 29th as she will be in Tokyo for the Paralympics. 

Is she going to be on the ground or like the BBC be doing stuff from U.K. in studios that made to give feel that they are actually there

    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
