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 

That’s a late change then as it wasn’t there when I checked yesterday. Maybe Matt didn’t want to do 14 days of Radio in a row

I seem to remember last Summer he did 3 weeks of Scotts show (2 weeks cos Breakfast cover and 1 which was Scotts Holiday) and he did the start and end weekend as well, someone else (Cel? or Jordan) doing the middle weekends so he did 7 in a row

I have known him to do 2 weeks of Scott cover in the past and do his weekend show as well - now they've got so many DJs on weekends cover is not an issue 

IMO Adele needs a better slot now, shes done her time on earlies

Pretty sure it’s the start of June but I’m not 100% sure

Probably after Biggest weekend

I wonder what shows will be from Swansea the week leading up to it? I remember last year Scott and Alice were on afternoons the week before live from Hull daily as they covered the Manchester aftermath on the Tuesday onwards playing music only for two days

Maya is off again this weekend with Jordan doing her Greatest Hits show. That’s the third week when Maya has been off with her only supposed to be off for one. Seems a bit strange - She hasn’t actually been on since those controversial tweets came out.

Too true Jordan should take fri sat and sun mornings anyway he's one of radio 1 best presenters maya is still meant to be on with Matt tmoz afternoon I don't think radio 1 would sack her

MistaJam's in to do the chart this week and next week, even though Sounds Like Friday Night finished last week and Greg's on both this week and next week.

I wonder whether he'll be going back to the chart at all, or if they're leaving MistaJam in place for the interim until Scott takes over.

I was thinking the same. It would be a shame for him not to have a final chart & dance anthems show, especially since that would also be the end of Dance Anthems on a Friday as well. He's mentioned it on air a couple of times recently, saying things like "I'm your man for all things chart! Until June, then they're axing me" and just yesterday, he said they were sacking him from the chart! All in jest I'm sure. :P

I am convinced this is part of a bigger scheme, Mills will become the "front man" for R1, doing the chart, and I can see them installing him on the Breakfast show as well

Okay, so Scott and Chris are playing their usual bangers game today, but when they were in for brekkie last time, they did Grimmy's game (his choice or celeb gamble). Not complaining though.

Presumably it’s his normal team then rather than grimmys team.

Sounded brill this morning on breakfast they should get the show all the time and put Matt and mollie in the afternoon, don't forget Matt and mollie are on afternoons this week

I think that's because they covered for Grimmy at short notice with his production team, (sure they spoke to Fefe like Grimmy does as well) and Tina doing news, where as today, it will be Mark Lockett and team Mills producing as its "planned" Grimmy leave hence it's basically a Mills show but in the morning as opposed to afternoon, although this never used to happen in the Moyles days - if Moyles was off at short notice someone else used to cover and Mills only covered the "planned leave" wonder why that was ?

Just listened back, and yes bloody brilliant radio, he so needs to get that slot permenently before he leaves R1 

I am so convinced its only a matter of time and he will be in it, the current schedule changes are suttle but getting rid of the "get rid of Moyles" strategy, I reckon Aled is installing Mills the best DJ on the busiest shows, Mon-Thu breakfast and the chart so he is todays version of someone like Blackburn or Mayo, and Grimmy will end up somewhere else on the schedule (Mon-Thu 7-9 and only annie on a Friday?)

Did anyone hear Matt and Mollie today? Were they any good? 

Yeah, pretty good. I like Mollie, but I still can't get used to this format of Matt and a celeb co-host. And if I had the choice, I preferred Matt with Example. Still - a decent show, they've played 'license to spell' and talked about Mollie's weird sweating.

Oh and I don't know if they'll make it a regular feature (hopefully not, not my cup of tea) - ever since Matt got a co-host they tend to tease a couple of next songs with some sort of pun or reference. It feels a bit forced to me.

Some changes over the next couple of weeks:

Jordan and Maya are both doing the Greatest Hits together on Saturday presumably in preparation for the Biggest Weekend. 

Then on Sunday, Cel is doing the Greatest Hits with Jordan doing Matts Show. 

Then all next week, the DJs are doing one show each from Swansea so Greg on Monday, Scott on Tuesday, Clara on Wednesday and Grimmy invite Thursday. Greg is also back on the chart on that Friday. 

The Biggest Weekend schedule has already been posted above. 

The week after has Adele doing the breakfast show on the Monday and Phil doing Annie’s show in Monday as well. At the moment there is no presenter doing the Early Breakfast Show.

Will probably be Jordan. It is a bank holiday on the 28th (or at least it is here in Scotland).

I thought it might be Yasser since he’d have been doing Weekend Breakfast over the weekend and it would save Jordan having to travel back from Swansea on Sunday night.

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • 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
