It seems like the final nail is in the coffin for Scott covering breakfast then - he is there this week yet M&M covering so i'd say that's it for him and breakfast, the last official breakfast cover shift he did was 27/12/18 

He took part in the show for the escape room and covered while Greg was taken so not really covering for Greg but kind of 

The lolothon you cant count that as breakfast cover as it's a special 

Thoughts? 

[Dan18F1 27]

Matt and Mollie are also covering Greg for a few days in a couple of weeks - think it’s the Monday and Tuesday after Glastonbury!

well that has to be it for Scott and breakfast then surely? well on radio 1 anyway

Wonder if Greg is presenting any of the coverage from Glasto

Just noticed that Clara's show on the week of the 8th July has Greatest Hits from 10am-11am. Wonder what's going on that week to be given a whole week of shows?

[Graeme 5]

Maybe summer mix replacement?

[Lee E 52]

ALSO note from Friday 5th July Scott's Dance Anthems have been renamed to Radio 1 Party Anthems 

Also Matt and Mollie are in for Greg 1st July and Matt solo on 2nd July

I wonder why they're renaming Friday's Dance Anthems... unless it's something more than a rename. I've noticed in recent weeks that classic anthems have been played during the show too.

Not sure whether it's just gonna be for summer instead of the old summer mixes or whether they're making it a permanent daily thing to bring weekdays in line with the weekend...

Also re Friday night party anthems- I think this may be a permanent name change, dance anthems is well over 7 years old now and R1 seem to love making regular random changes to the wording of show titles. I can also see a brand new intro happening.

If they are making the greatest hits thing permanent everyday then they are clearly squeezing the limits with the 50% new music requirement.

Think it maybe a summer thing at least the summer mixes won’t effect Scott’s show. On a different subject hits radio have annnouced their new breakfast show with flur east James Barr and Greg burns not good when a new radio stations changes its breakfast show in 12 months

Don’t like the choice I think Sarah Jane Crawford should’ve took over with  James Barr and Fluer East not Greg Burns(no offense to him) he looks a bit too old for ‘hits’ radio More like greatest hits radio. I wonder where Dave will go- I noticed Bauer haven’t announced who’s replacing Emma B on magic weekends- maybe Dave will go there?

Dave is leaving I think

Always enjoy hearing those two, they’ve really come into their own as a duo.  I’d prefer Jordan to cover 1-4 and then to be Grim’s cover on drive when you think about it, the personality duo with a lot of potential should probably get the drive cover, and the standard solo music presenter with some potential should cover afternoons.

It seems to me that they are using the weekend equivelent to cover weekday shows now so breakfast covers breakfast and all

Wonder who will be cover for Matt and Mollie? if they had same holiday used to be Yasser for Dev

Also anyone notice Maya has anthems now 10-11? from Friday its being trailed so wonder if Greatest hits is going to be permenent 10-11 weekdays and Maya is doing anthems

[Graeme 5]

Still greatest hits on the app?

Isn’t Arielle the cover for both Matt and Mollie and Dev and Alice? She’s been used to cover both shows before!

I get the idea with weekend afternoons covering weekday afternoons etc, but it makes no sense doing it blindly like that.

Looks like Radio 1 Greatest Hits is no more for now as Clara's weekday hour shows are also known as Radio 1 Anthems.

Are they seriously renaming everything to ‘anthems’?

Seems that way, also tomorrow at 7 Scott has "party anthems" which to me sounds more commercial bangers than the current dance format, maybe so he can throw some older classics in to compete with Heart Dance?

Would be interesed to see if he has had new jingles and sweepers done for this - feels like it could be more like his old "floorfillers" he used to do on Fridays after newsbeat being revived

Remember this is the first personalisation of the Friday driver show for him since he took over, because it has stayed the same format as Greg had since 2015 when he took the chart over - of course 1600-1745 has to be the chart then 1800-1900 is "Scott" for an hour

Would be interested to see if this persoinallisation is going towards Scott and Chris back on drive? and Grimmy out maybe? dreams can come true
