Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

[GeekTalk51]

Not a bad shout! Can’t imagine James would say no to an extra day on Radio 1.

[UnofficialStark]

I wonder if they'd let James do the chart himself? He had already been trusted with half the NYE shift.

Would make more sense to have Vick and Katie do Matt and Mollie rather than the chart

[UnofficialStark]

Katie was referencing the chart when talking about Gayle and she said "I think it's Scott on Friday, might be me for all I know!"

[Jono]

Love how Katie got her mum on to do the quiz today

Scott and Chris are obvs still the fav with. Bosses esp as covering breakfast I was looking at the schedule from 2002 and today just to compare and Scott was covering breakfast for Sara cox that’s so good that he still covering now and proves he could do radio 2 breakfast cover

[BBCAaron]

I mean Scott Mills by now must be the stations longest continual daytime broadcaster in its history. Sure that there’s been no one to cover a breakfast show with 20 years into their career on the station

I was thinking if Scott & Chris are still short notice cover for R1 breakfast as they were when they stood in at the start of the pandemic, surely they can’t afford to lose him to R2 any time soon. One of the strongest on R1 still I think

[Jono]

Nice to have Scott and Chris on breakfast, interesting they chose them rather than Vick and Jordan, I guess perhaps they answered the call sooner!

The on-air idents make it sound like they've not been away from breakfast as long as they have!

You never quite see especially with BBC a drive presenter covering breakfast not really ever in commercial. I think Vick and Jordan may only ever cover Fridays. I think it’s because drive is quite a peak or big show in itself. They would be the favourites to take on breakfast tho

Perhaps, but that's what Scott used to do on drivetime, and as you say they covered for Matt and Mollie on Friday breakfast days after their show launched.

I think given contract Friday cover makes sense for Jordan and Vick to cover then. Fair point Scott covering for Chris Moyles when he did drive I think since I think he first started covering for Zoe and Sara on breakfast that’s probably felt Scott is safe hand to do breakfast. For any of the weekly daytime presenters I found Scott ended up doing the most cover did Chart few times when on Sunday and covered for Dan and Phil.
