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 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.

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...

    • Roman Kemp 😜 I think Will was at radio 1 at one point wasn't he? 
    • Hats off to Chris for leaving a challenge for Greg.  To plan that out was great detailing and proves what a talented guy he is.  The post he posted on Instagram also links into it which is great to.  There is loyalty to Greg there so I don't think he's joining Capital.  Persephonica was looking for an 'experienced entertainment producer' a few months ago. I wonder if this is where Chris might be heading? 
    • Jordan North… Seriously though, out of the commercial stations I only really listen to Capital but I do think Will Manning is very strong (and could quite easily slot into R1). I also think Jimmy Hill is a very good commercial DJ (but probably wouldn’t be as good on R1).
    • First link made me blush 
    • Who do you think is the best commercial presenter? This is your view, doesn't have to be who has the most ratings 
    • Starting off strong. 
    • I remember Chase and Status being added to the line-up for Coventry after a drop out. At the time it seemed a bit random, but they seem massive again now!
    • That is a bit strange, yes. Fair point. Oh yes, I'd say both are equal. It's just they'll have been on Instagram for some time, whereas TikTok will have been a new addition in recent years, so something probably has to give. Us anoraks like to see Twitter as important, but I find myself putting much more time into those other platforms. Incidentally when I applied for a social job there probably four years back (wasn't successful!) I did say I thought the audience wanted more insight from the station rather than just content around the stars. I think they've moved a lot more in that direction, especially with the visualisation in the studio. You see more of Greg James than Harry Styles. I don't envy the PR machine at Radio 1 going straight from Mollie King's challenge to Big Weekend announcements without a break!
    • Since they starting the big weekend right at the end of Matt & Mollie’s show I expect they get to do the duties of opening up the festival.
    • Matt and Mollie and Sam and Danni have DJ sets on Friday of Big Weekend, still makes me think they are really keen to push both pairings in a hole left by Jordan.
    • Broadcast wise it’s going to be interesting to see how they handle the performances starting at the same time as the chart show.
    • Yes sort of, although it’s still weird that they tweeted when Mollie was halfway completed but did not do so when she crossed the finish line.
    • it would make sense to ensure both instagram and TikTok are treated as equals and kept in tandem as reels and downloads of instagram are growing when TikTok I think I’ve heard is stagnating.    I mean it makes sense to do less with Twitter or X as it has change. There has been a lot of change in how its run and operate with focus on making it a platform people pay for and its been volatile for advertising with lots of loss in paid promotions on the platform and the business worth has been waining and any communications and marketing for any business and organisations are seeing that
    • I feel like all ATB songs started with some sort of airport in their video
