Jack Saunders going from strength to strength right now - sounding excellent at night, and really strong filling in on daytimes. Do we think his future is on daytimes in the medium to long term, or just a strong future as a specialist DJ?

I agree. Jack's been sounding good on daytimes. I could see him there in the future, depends if he's offered it and wants that chance. I can see him being at the helm of Future Sounds within the coming years though.

I think it comes across that Jack loves daytime - he will almost certainly be next for a daytime slot which at this point could be 2 years away. I'm willing to bet Scott does 25 years on daytime then leaves so 2023.

I do think if he is offered a more mainstream prime time listening slot like when Huw did it would be good I’d managed to keep a specialist show to lose him from specialist music would simply be wasting.

He’s got a talent that if did end up in a prime time slot he may end up only doing a short period before switching as like Matt Wilkinson on. Beats 1, Dotty, MistaJam feel he’d simply move forward. He did Vernon Kay’s slot he’s a star quality presenter

I think he's great - I thought it was interesting the pairing with Katie Thistleton. I wondered if there was a future there in the short-term. I won't stop finding it funny hearing him introducing some of the cheesy pop though, given his indie music credentials.

When think Nick Grimshaw & Alice Levine came from Late night specialist slots. when Grimmy had his last week on Drive looked back of the night time show selections of tracks it shows that both Levine & Grimshaw have passion for music but not really had what it takes to be the breaker of new music and new artists. Jack Saunders is talented in similar level to Annie Mac & Zane Lowe both could be entertaining. If Jack did somehow end up in daytime slot with a playlist of mainstream pop style. It would like when Huw Stephens had weekend afternoons and much like Jamz Supernova when she had weekend afternoons on 1 Xtra having a specialist show though was once a week feels vital to their careers.

I feel like Saunders could be the current best in generation breaker of new music. The odd cover of daytime would work excellent for him tho

In a way him by himself or with Katie could’ve been good for Friday mornings could do odd live lounge chatter and new music Friday stuff

      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!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      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

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      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.
