I'm surprised at how much Vicky is being used as cover. Have we ever had anyone else making up the main daytime line up that's done as much cover elsewhere?

Scott & Chris - don’t forget Vicky is only on 4 days so think it’s reasonable for her to do an extra day now and again

Maybe they’re trying to establish her more as a presenter on her own rather than being Dean’s sidekick.

Is she Dean’s sidekick? Isn’t it supposed to be both their show in equal right?

It is. What I meant is that she's known on the station pretty much as Dean's co-host and they might be trying to establish her more on the station with people by giving her these cover slots to make her more well known with the listeners.

What did they do apart from emergency choice breakfast?

Scott did the chart on Sunday, both covered Dan and Phil whoooooo and Scott covered Danny Howard’s dance anthems on Saturday. I think they might have even both covered Jameela Jamil’s 7pm slot whooo

Ah I didn't know that. Fair enough, Vicky is the new them.

My question was is she Dean's sidekick? As in is she known on the station as being that? I didn't realise she was. How come that's what she's known as?

Not just emergency breakfast cover, they were Grimmy's cover (and of course Scott were the main cover for Chris Moyles). Scott used to spend a fair amount of time off drivetime and afternoons as a result. He used to cover the chart on a Sunday for many years throughout his time on drive and afternoons

I can 'kind' of see why the impression is given that Dean takes the lead at times, but she's not a sidekick. They are co-presenters as per other duos on the station.

Looks like Matt is solo tomorrow and Sunday.  Mollie is part of the Eurovision show tomorrow evening.

That Eurovision show is Mollie, Dean and someone I don't recognise. Clearly not a R1 presenter. That's just judging by the picture, there's no proper description for it.

There appears to be no Party Anthems on Friday this week. Matt and Mollie's normal show is extended by an hour until the chart. 

Either its a mistake and we will end up having party anthems but not called party anthems or its some weird decision been made like when the Queen died. Baffling how all the shows with party in the name had to made generic

    • 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 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
