Radio 1 Summer Schedule

[GeekTalk51]

Why is Scott’s photo showing for breakfast tomorrow on BBC Sounds? It had Matt all day, so it’s changed - but the text still says R1 Breakfast with Matt Edmondson.

Scott would presumably be the one they called for breakfast if Matt needed to isolate or something.

[Darren m]

Unless his wife had the baby

[GeekTalk51]

Oh yeah! Then again maybe someone just pressed the wrong button at BBC Sounds HQ??.

[UnofficialStark]

If Scott is doing Breakfast then he'd be double shifting with only 2.5 hours gap so they could be trying to find an alternative but have put Scott's picture just in case

[NathanS]

Yeah, Scott & Chris are on breakfast tomorrow. He's mentioned on his Instagram.

[BBCAaron]

I wonder who will be sitting in for S&C possibly Katie T

[UnofficialStark]

Dean and Katie seem to be the most liked for that slot's cover now

[BBCAaron]

I personally feel given there’s is a mid morning trio Scott and Chris come as a duo when do breakfast cover and afternoons and drive duo. Feel that one person cover would just be bit better I guess it maybe that either Vick or Katie may do solo afternoon or chart on Friday

[Jono]

I’d be shocked if they can get Dean & Katie in place together for afternoons tomorrow? One or the other seems most likely?

[Dan18F1]

Yeah it will be interesting to see who does Friday’s chart? At a guess I would say Jordan considering Katie and Vick are already on!

[Dan18F1]

Looks like it’s Katie covering! Will be interesting to see what she does with it considering I’d have thought S+C will keep Bangers and the Quiz on breakfast!

[TheSaviourisHere]

Any news on why Matt is off?

[NathanS]

It'll be interesting to see if they keep their features covering the breakfast show this week, as I assume they'll still be doing Yesterday's Quiz and 10 minute Takeover... Would they be doing their features alongside?

Shows how dynamic Scott is as a broadcaster. One week covering a mainstream daytime Radio 2 show (the most listened to show), a George Michael song countdown on NYD also on 2 and, albeit short notice... The Radio 1 breakfast show the following week.

[Ash101]

Last time they covered Greg yeah, they did those 2 features and the rest were their own. Obviously depends what the production team had planned for tomorrow? I’m guessing none of Greg’s main features as they’ll be saved for next week?

[Jono]

It will be good to hear them back on breakfast again. I do miss them covering the show, although... I do enjoy Matt & Mollie covering the show nowadays. I wasn't so keen at first, but like their afternoon show.. they really fit the role well.

[Dan18F1]

Also interestingly seems like it’s just going to Scott on Friday, I wonder if that’s anything to do with Chris not working on Fridays anymore or whether he’s already busy that day. Was it the start of the pandemic that they both covered the breakfast show properly (excluding Christmas etc)

 I think they covered it twice during the reduced COVID schedule. Before that.. their last proper 'official cover' was between Christmas and New Year 2018.

[JamTriv]

Seems like a last minute change... hope matt is OK.

yes it does, surely his wife giving birth makes most sense. He was on air Sunday? Could be isolating also I guess

[TheSaviourisHere]

Seemed Scott was about to explain the reason at the start of the show and then Chris quickly changed the subject ?

[Ash101]

I guess if it’s his new baby then it’s up to him to announce? Chris would understand that after his announcement, ironically I think during that last stint on Breakfast?

[UnofficialStark]

Greg left a voice note for Listener Impossible and he says Scott and Chris' names in it which seems odd as they were very late notice so I wonder when that is done?

[IamNotFromUK]

I think Greg has recording studio for his podcast at home, so he doesn’t have to go to Radio 1 to record things.

Btw, it seems that Scott is doing double on Friday - he’s scheduled for the chart show

 

[Ash101]

I can imagine that was a last minute change, considering Listener Impossible is actually a M&M feature anyway!

[michaelb]

Maybe they’ll get James to sit in for M&M on Friday as well and then get Vick & Katie to do the chart.
