Ben Mundy is presenting his last Newsbeat this afternoon. Sounds like he's been promoted to an off air role or to wider BBC News. Christian Hewgill would be a good replacement for the main 15 min programmes/afternoon bullitens...

where did you hear that

Yup. He's been on since at least 2010 reading the weekend bullitens/ deputising on the main programme and weekday bullitens. No doubt we'll be hearing more Christian Hewgill and Calum Leslie from now on

Think something like 4 years as main daytime presenter of the main programme of newsbeat Hewgill Leslie probably will serve for the main show but probably see some new newsbeat presenters. Think with movement of BBC News departments in the long run movement of some presenters and reporters out of BBC. As different programme is created see some new newsbeat presenters coming.

Chris Smith and Tina Deheley both finished as the main daytime anchors in 2018 when Greg and Grimmy swapped shows, so it's been 4 years.. Chris Smith was on the main programme/afternoons for many years before - it was Ben Munday who announced when Scott was being moved off drive and onto lunch

He’s presented on the News Channel before, wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up on there in a more permanent capacity 

He's going into news management according to Steve Holden - his bio says deputy editor.

She's done bullitens before, and she's been doing the Asian Network afternoon bullitens when they split them last year. I assume that means that AN will no longer have the seperate bullitens, and ALL of them will be simulcast again?

    • 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
