Jordan’s in for Clara on the 20th Feb And Arielle is in for Adele 

21st Jordan’s in for Adele

I’ve just noticed, Adele is off for at least 2 weeks from the 14th Feb, and as yet she doesn’t have a return date on the schedules. Jordan is in for her and so on Sunday 24th, Katie Thistleton is in for Jordan!

Matt is doing Weekend Breakfast tomorrow solo and also on the 15-17th. Phil Taggart is in for Annie Mac on the 18th/19th. 

Also slipped under the covers was that the Radio 1 Asian Beats show since last Sunday was cut to two hours from 1am-3am onwards and therefore it means more repeats of previous programmes.

Wasn't it always two hours? Thought all the specialist shows were.

Me too.  It changed to two around the time they re-arranged Sunday nights didn’t it?

No, that was the only one that was 3 hours up until the weekend before last- They're repeating The Residency shows 3-4am for a couple of weeks, then it looks like they've got a new "Danny Howard's Club Mix" taking the slot after that

Whilst we're talking about weekend specialist shows, I really think they need to get rid of all the mindfulness stuff on a Friday night. It's just the most bizarre thing to have at 3am after the residency. Even if they did an hour of it from 5am on Saturday and Sunday mornings and brought 2 new dance shows in for 3-5am on Friday and Saturday nights

Agreed. Can they get rid off that Reagge show as well. It’s very Radio 2.  

Do they still air podcasts at like silly o clock? I’m normally asleep then lol.

I dunno about binning the repeat of David Rodigan, there will be quite a few in the target audience who like that kind of music, and at 4am on a Sunday it’s probably fine, the people who want it get it on BBC Sounds.

Greatest ‘brits’ at 10 all week with Clara - including booting Maya off friday

It sounded really good today.  Clara fits that format so well, it shows how slick she can be as a music presenter.

Adele is off her normal show from this Thursday until Monday 4th March! Between the 25th Feb and 29th, she’s covering for Dev on the 8th. On Friday 1st, Alice is presenting on her own and Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd, Arielle is covering for them both!

How do we think Adele will sound on The 8th??

I think it would have been better with Jordan covering it, he seems like he’d want to do post watershed radio one day and that would have been a nice chance for him!

It’s a primarily 1xtra based show though, Adele came across from them to do early breakfast and Jordan hasn’t ever presented for them, so it makes more sense - plus gives her a break from early mornings.

I think,Jordan deserves a better show than once a Week I can see global poacheing him when the contract is up and offer him a weekday show on capital or radio x if he’s still on one day a week at radio 1 that is

Jordan is through and through radio 1, with him being their up and coming talent, they won’t loose him. He left his job at Rock FM which was 5 days a week to go to radio 1 to do just cover work. He isn’t going to sacrifice his chances to go back to working for Capital FM which he’s done before.

yeah, and if he waits a bit more he'll probably be the next drive host, Grimmy's not gonna last long on there

True, thats why i can't stand it. The hip hop rotation annoys me. Though i do like that dance track with Lily Allen on it when they play that:D

Pleased to see a full week of Phil is for Annie next week, always good to hear.

Think it's only Monday and Tuesday but I agree it is good, Phil's a really talented broadcaster who doesn't get nearly enough air time imo

Oh sorry, must’ve made a mistake there.  Yeah, I completely agree, wonder if there’s still any hope of him getting a better slot.

Not on R1, Maybe Radio X or 6Music would take him for primetime

    • 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 ?
