I do wonder if it is something like Greg swapping to afternoons for less pressure. My money is on Matt & Mollie though - It has to be surely?

I have seen some say that maybe Matt and Mollie won't be on Radio 1 for long enough to justify the move but even if it is only a few years surely that gives time for some of the newbies to bed in and be ready for such a slot then?

I think Greg would want to do his own announcement on his show plus he’s done 1pm already.

I'm thinking (hoping) for M&M to take Scott's show, Katie & Jordan to replace them, James Cusack for Dean's show and Jack for the chart. Guess we'll find out soon!

Just curious, why would they seperate Vick & Jordan so soon, and move him back to weekends? Jordan's arguably one of Radio 1's biggest 'stars' now, probably destined for breakfast in a few years.

Ah, fair enough. Should've picked up on that!

Matt & Mollie would be my preferred choice, so hoping it's them. Matt had never managed to get onto weekday daytime with Grimmy, Greg and Scott all being at the top of their game over the years... and now Scott's sadly going, hopefully this is his chance.

I think I’d think it may help Dean to stay on weekends for a bit more longer. It’s not as easy replace as know with something like Asian Network or 1 Xtra as helps with the right show

My choice would be Matt and Mollie - best way to help soften the blow of Scott going and already seem popular with the audience. Think they could do great things with that slot. Katie and Dean aren't an established enough duo to take over a slot as big as Scott's I don't think. M&M to afternoons, Katie to Fri-Sun afternoons and Jack on the chart. With Sam & Danni taking over Life Hacks maybe. If it's not Matt and Mollie, it should be RMC. With Katie taking over mid mornings.

I have no information to suggest either way, but I'd say Katie and/or Dean fit the bill to provide some youthful faces to get embeded in a key part of the Radio 1 schedule. They could easily do it from the North of England and tick another box. I'll be gutted for them if they don't get it after all these rumours!

Matt and Mollie are worthy but I feel they have a lot of other commitments, and people are right to suggest they're further down the line with their Radio 1 journey. Arielle Free is also a potential - traditionally early breakfast stars work their way up...

I could see Sam and Danni taking a show if any of the above are hired. I also think Aled could go leftfield and bring in some new recruits...

      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!

      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
