Surprised to see Vicky back on afternoons full stop, let alone paired with someone who isn’t Nat. Will just feel like Dean is away!

It’s a real shame Sam & Danni aren’t being given a run out on afternoons when both Matt & Mollie are away.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sam and Danni have been booked to do drive that week as Vick is definitely off and then Katie is also off for one of the weeks that Vick is, although it’d probably make more sense to put Jamie with one of Vicky and Lauren and then have Sam and Danni on Going Home.

The more I think about it the more I think Sam and dani are getting weekend afternoons soon with James doing weekend breakfast 

 

There would be literally no point I think moving Sam & Danni to weekend afternoons. They’ll be the next going home or breakfast hosts imo

I can only assume they're genuinely undecided who's taking over, these month long rotations are presumably trials to see who's best. If it was Danny Beard, even if they couldn't take over till a later date, they'd still be able to announce it.

Can't really see these as trials - each of them have done enough in the past for them to make a choice, and we all know James is by far the best! I suspect there's more to it and a good reason why we don't know yet...

I think the presenter of that slot will be coming straight from another station, potentially from within the BBC like Nikita. I notice Swarzy is covering a weekend slot in a few weeks, I wonder if she’d be another name they’re considering, and they’re waiting for a point to make all of the changes at once.

Unless they’re waiting until January, it won’t be Sam and Danni because they’re booked in on Friday EB until then and they wouldn’t have put them on that slot if they were planning to move them halfway through the given tenure.

Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if we get more than a weekend afternoon host announced in the next schedule changes and they are potentially waiting for everything to fall into place to then make a big announcement and launch a new schedule in November or January for example. 
 

Because not only will the weekend slot need filling, there is the new R1 spin off station being launched ‘this autumn’, which I can see the likes of Ore, Nat, James etc being part of and I wonder if any of those shows will be simulcasted on the main station. There is then Mollie’s maternity leave which I can see them wanting to cover, and then there’s questions about whether they do something with the Power Down Playlist now that there’s no R1 Relax anymore, could they put something different in that slot? 
So I think management might be waiting to be able to sort a few things out at the same time.

Next weeks Going Home schedule:

Monday: Just Vick

Tuesday: Vick and Jamie

Wednesday: Jamie and Sam and Danni 

Thursday: Sam and Danni

This was taken from the At Home podcast today. It is assumed that Sam and Danni are covering Wednesday and Thursday because both Vick and Katie are off.

Dunno where you're getting this from. The 10:30 and 15:30 bullitens were 2 minutes in length as normal...

Edit: Apologies, you're right. I wonder why they've changed it?

Maybe the same purpose as those one-minute bulletins when Jordan took over Capital Breakfast - if bulletins from 1030 to 1630 get extended there will still be six 2-min and six 3-min bulletins so they can meet their quota.

    • 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 ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot 
    • I’m thinking the same redding and Leeds etc 
    • -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
