Katie's actually sounding quite good on Greatest Hits. I think she's a more capable broadcaster than Cel Spellman, although she sounds identical to Adele Roberts which might not help her career for as long as Adele's still at the station. 

She just dedicated Sweet Dreams My LA Ex by Rachel Stevens to Warrick Brownlow-Pike - someone people of my age might be more familiar with as Oucho T Cactus!

I've just wanted to say the same thing - Katie reminds me a lot of Adele. Not only do they sound similar, but I'd also say that they've got pretty similar style of presenting. Rather on the 'standard' side, no wacky features but solid, good, technical presenting. I'm a massive fan of Adele because she's such a lovely person. Katie sounds so much better than Maya. It would be really lovely to have her every week.

I hadn't noticed how similar Katie and Adele sound until you mentioned it, maybe because I'm also a northerner. I agree she's a good presenter but I thinks she suits the format of Life Hacks/The Surgery more than daytime music-led shows. That said, it would be good to hear her do more cover when Jordan's not available.

Ali Plumb off of Movies is in for Phil Taggart tonight.

I wonder whether next time  matts off mollie king with cover solo as she is soon to be a permanent presenter 

Well, Chris doesn't cover Scott's show by himself so I wouldn't say she will.

Also, I think it's worth to point out that in the past it was Cel in for Greg and Jordan in for Adele and now it's the other way round. A tiny bit of an upgrade for Jordan!

I thought I’d just put all these schedule changes together:

Rest of today:

Matt in for Scott, Jordan in for Greg, Grimmy in for Annie.

Rest of the week:

Matt in for Scott, Grimmy and Bastille in for Annie

Friday:

Alice and Dev in for Grimmy, Danny in for Annie, Hannah Wants in for Danny.

Next Saturday: 

Dev is doing Weekend Breakfast solo (again)

Next Sunday: 

Cel is doing Life Hacks solo

Next Monday: 

Jordan in for Adele, Scott and Chris in for Grimmy, Adele in for Clara, Matt and Mollie in for Scott,  Clara in for Annie

Rest of the week: 

Scott and Chris in for Grimmy, Matt and Mollie in for Scott, Clara and Blossoms in for Annie

I wonder why, which has been the theme this week, the Monday the standard presenter gets their show covered and does the Annie Mac one but the other four days does two shows? not that I'm saying its wrong just seems funny, maybe to give them more prep time ? meet the crew they are working with? 

Why not get Mistajam to cover Annie per usual? is it because hes also doing the chart and 1xtra drive is a more prominent slot? 

I also think Greg is being short changed a bit, although he is getting to do prime time BBC 1 on a Friday (Scott's TV at the moment is limited to BBC 4 and iplayer)

It's nice to be able to listen to Grimmy without hating him. He's a good presenter, just not on the breakfast show. Good to hear him back where he's comfortable.

Cel has never been Greg's cover. Think he did it once on a bank holiday but Dev and Jordan are now Greg's cover in that they do full weeks and normal weekdays.

I wonder who’s the main cover for all the daytime shows. I think it’s this:

Adele - Jordan

Nick - Scott, Maybe Alice and Dev as well

Clara - Adele and Jordan

Scott - Matt (and Mollie)

Greg - Jordan and Dev

Weekend: 

Alice and Dev - One of them does it solo

Greatest Hits - No idea: Maybe Katie, maybe Adele 

Matt - Jordan

It does surprise me how much cover Jordan really does looking at this and how little amount Alice and Maya do. 

If anyone knows of anything that I’ve missed then just say.

That sounds about right, although it's not unheard of for Alice or Dev to do full weeks in for Scott, sometimes with Chris Stark, although it hasn't happened for a while.

It doesn't surprise me that Maya isn't used for daytime cover (although she's only been there two minutes, so we'll see). I highly doubt she could carry a personality show by herself. Alice Levine can though, but she's busy enough at weekends, nevermind weekday cover.

Always think it's such a shame Alice doesn't do more weekday cover. I hope it's just that she isn't available rather than Radio 1 not asking her. She was Fearne Cotton's main cover but ever since Clara took over, it seems to be Adele (who's brilliant btw). Alice has always been brilliant covering the main personality shows like Scott and Greg - I wish she did it more. Alice/ Matt covering Scott and Alice/Jordan covering Greg would be pretty strong in my opinion. Sorry but Dev is just an instant turnoff when he's in for Greg.

Also thought Katie Thistleton sounded great at the weekend. Hope she gets to do more cover by herself on Greatest Hits or early breakfast.

About what I was expecting really. A bit of a shame that Matt and Adele aren’t doing the 10 till 1 slot again as I really enjoyed them opening the whole thing up last year. In fact, Adele isn’t even there. That’s strange. 

Also, why is Ed Sheeran on so early. Most people won’t be there by then.

Just noticed Adele Roberts is in for Jordan on greatest hits on Sunday as he covers matts show again and she's in for Clara on Monday aswell seems odd they don't use maya jama

    • 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 ?
    • 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.
