Lots of Talk on DS about possibilities of replacements for Simon and Jo on R2 drive, and our lad keeps getting mentioned, that he'll probably go over, here is a reply I sent, showing that he actually has the MOST airtime on R1 of any of the presenters 

 

Although R1 have just gone through major schedule changes themselves and similarly to R2 the middle of the day shows are the stable (Clara and Scott) with a new breakfast and drive show and new show now late night with Jack Saunders, and the 4 day week as well all in a year, I can't see Clara or Scott being moved for some time, specially as Scott has effectively been promoted to drive on a Friday now as well - he's actually doing the most hours on R1 **Important caveat there on R1 ** I think I worked out in his permanent slots although as of Monday Dev is probably doing more covering the 8th, and Mistajam is level with Scott but i'm working this out on R1 airtime and mainstream daytime not dance or late night once a week shows

I suspect Dev may take one or two weekend shows off and leave Alice to run solo as he seems to be covering the 8th UFN

Scott (1-4 M-TH and 4-7 FR)- 15hrs a week
Greg (630-10 M-TH) - 14hrs a week
Grimmy (4-7 M-H)/Adele (4/630 M-TH and 4-6 FR)/Clara (10-1 M-TH)/Alice/Dev (6-10 F/S/SU)- 12hrs a week (discounts Dev covering the 8th which is an extra 8 (9-11 M-TH))
Annie (7-9 M-F)- 10hrs a week
Matt/Mollie (1-4 F/S/SU) - 9hrs a week
Jack Saunders (10-1am M-TH) - 8hrs a week
Maya (10-1 F/SA) 6hrs a week
Jordan (10-1 SU)/Katie/Cel (4-7 SU)- 3hrs a week

Can’t see Scott going anywhere in a hurry. Maybe in couple of years when schedule has stabilised and R1’s have more upcoming talent could see him and Chris going to weekends before touching r2 but right now there’s no reason to concider him for R2 , he’s still top of his game on R1’s and the only reason anyone could suggest R2 is because of age but that’s hatdly relevant when the content he puts out is relevant to target audience

    • 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
