The pre Newsbeat 'coming up' promo just mentioned that Vick & Katie are in for Matt & Mollie this afternoon. Matt & Mollie are still listed on the schedule so must be a last minute change. Although, Vick is currently off her normal show so whether that promo was slotted in error or not... We'll find out in a bit..

Edit: Matt & Mollie are on as usual so the incorrect promo was slotted in by mistake.

That's quite an interesting one. She's usually on Jazz FM, and has done/does work for another Bauer brand, Scala (classical station).. although she's been doing a lot of cover work for 6 music. I don't recall her popping up on Radio 1 before, although I'm happy to stand corrected. That's quite a versatile collection of stations to work across. 

It's not often they parachute in DJ's who've not been on before to cover 'daytime' shows. In the case of early breakfast, we've seen previous Christmas presenters cover (more than often Sam & Danni, or that week's Friday presenter).

Is this definitely happening? Arielle’s shows description has updated with specific info about that day’s show and she’s still listed on there.

Deb Grant is listed as covering Chris Hawkins’ early breakfast show on 6Music for 1 day only

@Dan18F1and @LemmeRantmust’ve been technical hiccup error as she tends to be on Scala and Jazz and Scala started early breakfast cover in the period between Shawn Keavney leaving and Craig Charles starting on early breakfast cover as Chris taken the reigns of his afternoon slot in the interim. When she went under her DJ pseudonym Anne Frankenstein that she tend to used when clubbing and mixing now actual name for radio.

Chris Hawkins is also starting to pop up presenting the after midnight Radio 2 slot when OJ Borg is off. Though would feel Adele Roberts in future slot on Radio 2 would be a fitting contender to cover or present

I’m pretty sure Adele covered on Radio 2 last year. Even if she wouldn’t move to Radio 2, if Radio 1 ever introduced an overnight live show I’d definitely give it to her.

She covered Trevor Nelson one night last year (I think it was during the summer when she was covering the extended mid morning slot on Radio 1 as well so she was on 1 and 2 in the same day) too.

Yes she did at quite short notice as well - I reckon using people like her and Scott to double shift is a cost saving thing

Jack is in for Clara for 2 weeks from Monday 14th to Thursday 24th February.

Matt & Mollie are in for Scott from Monday 21st to Thursday 24th February.

Wednesday 23rd February it's now just Matt in for Scott - still Matt & Mollie on the other days.

This seems to have changed.  Clara is now back on Monday 28th.  Sian is in for Jack that week Mon-Wed and Nels Hylton is in for Jack on the Thursday.

 Not sure how it saves costs? Presenters get paid an amount for doing so many shows per year. Anymore than that they get paid extra

Definitely. I can imagine any Radio 2 cover work comes at a cost per show agreement, instead of any blanket yearly amount. There’s no way it’d save money. You’d surely command a higher price to work double in a day then a lower one?

    • 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 ?
    • 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
