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

He could take over from Annie Mac at some point whenever she leaves, he’s a lot younger than her so it could happen

I think Abbie McCarthy will take that slot if Huw doesn’t leave before Annie

Jordan is in for Adele Monday to Wednesday next week as she is in for Dev on the 8th. Tomorrow, there’s an Oscars special from 3am with Ali Plumb co hosting the show. On Thursday and Friday, Arielle is covering for her. 

Alice is going solo on Friday before Arielle Free covers for them both on Saturday and Sunday. 

On Saturday as well, Asian Network Live takes place between 7 and 11pm. 

The week after,  Nick Bright is in for Dev on the 8th, Jordan is in for Adele on Friday 8th March and Monday 11th and Alice is flying solo all weekend again.

the More I think about it the more it seems that Jordan will take over early breakfast at some point this year with Adele maybe taking his show 

I think Arielle might take it over at some point this year. Adele seems to have had quite a lot of time off recently unless she’s just saved up a lot of holiday leave and she’s using it all now.

I'm not sure Adele will go anywhere anytime soon actually - she's doing a really good job on that show, has really made it her own, and unlike most other people who do that slot, seems to love getting up at that time of day. Due to her age, earlies is probably the furthest her R1 career will go but I don't think there's any pressing need to take her off. After all the work Jordan's done, getting early breakfast world be a bit below him - when he does make daytime, he'll go straight to drive.  Arielle will probably get Jordan's show (and maybe Maya's too) - she's like him but earlier on in her career. She hasn't done any daytime cover yet IIRC.

Arielle will probaly get a shift in about two to three years maybe more just think how long it took Jordon to get weekends 

I really like her as a presenter. I don’t get why they don’t just say bye to Maya already she wouldn’t mind she’d be  doing loads more telly. 

As for Adele she’s getting towards Radio 2 or commercial. She takes holidays off really regularly. 

I want Jordon to take drivetime and Prehaps Arielle could have the early breakfast show.

Arielle is already in her 30s, surely Radio 1 should recruit younger people for brand new talent?  Totally agree with you about Jordan and drivetime.  With Maya the only thing I can say for her is she’s relevant at the moment, and that’s why she’s there.  She’s there to attract the target audience.

She’s doing fine, I agree, no rush to take her off.  But when some up and coming talent needs the slot, that’d be time for her to go.  I think because Arielle is already a similar age to the likes of Greg and Nick, she could get one of the weekend slots, but I doubt anything further than that.

I'd go for.

Mon-Fri (no more weekend on Fridays)

4am: someone new from student radio or somewhere like that

6:30am: Dev and Alice (for a couple years, temporarily before someone else can step up, they're much more on target than Greg, who sounds way dull for Radio 1 Breakfast these days, his drive show used to be brilliant, and while Dev and Alice are far from groundbreakingly amazing, it'd suit the audience with some good ideas, big branding and experienced production, and they might shine)

10am: Katie Thisleton (bang on target, fresh, would suit the format)

1pm: Cel Spellman (I know people aren't keen on here but i think he's got massive potential, and is bang on target for the audience)

4pm: Jordan North (deserves it massively)

Jordon hands down is the next Scott.  He’s been slowly building up his rep as the R1 supply teacher and should be on daytime by now. When Scott leaves I want Jordon to have his show as I feel he’s a worthy successor

Jordan should get drive, he deserves a bigger slot than afternoons at this point.

In many ways you could turn out to be spot on about him being the next Scott.  He’ll probably get to drivetime straight from where he is now, and I doubt he’ll ever make breakfast, so his Radio 1 career could pan out similar, although I seriously doubt he’ll last 20 years.

Few schedule changes in the next few weeks: 

• Rickie, Melvin and Charlie begin on April 1st which means that this week is the last week of the 8th. 

• Arielle is in for Adele from the 1st to the 4th of April and Adele is in for Clara that week. 

• On the 8th April, Jordan is in for Grimmy and I’m guessing that’s all week. 

• Also that week, Phil Taggart is in for Annie (apart from Friday when it’s Danny Howard)

• Finally, on Friday 12th, Jordan is in for Maya.

has Gregg had any time off except Christmas and his wedding??

Nope, I’m thinking he’ll take a holiday quite soon, maybe around Easter? He had quite a few holidays when he did drive so it does surprise me a bit.

He'll probably have Easter off, Scott is not getting as much breakfast cover as he used to have, by default he has a bit recently with the Escape Room and Lolothon, but unlike Grimmy Greg is not one for dropping out after a heavy night with Miss Ora or Geldof - very reminiscent of Zoe and Saras partying days, I think he has shown for every drive show thus far apart from holidays 

Greg is very much like Moyles in that way where he wouldn't miss a show unless there was a Holiday or a crises (remember when him and his GF spit Sara stood in for a few days) 

Question on that front - did Scott ever cover for Moyles working with Aled, Dave and Dom ?

    • 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 ?
