Balancing the workload? He seemed very giddy yesterday anyway! It's Dermot and Alison this week so doesn't seem to be any sign of that yet. 

I reckon Phillip is headed for GMB with Suzanna

You've only given us half the story there. Also on BH Monday:

Nicki for Zoe

Gary for Vernon 

When i last checked, Vernon was listed and Gary was still listed on breakfast so the schedule has obviously updated since I posted.

Rylan said on his show this afternoon that he's off for a "fair few weeks", he didn't say exactly how many weeks he's off for. There's no mention on the schedule yet who's sitting in for him.

According to the papers he’s doing the next series of Celebrity Hunted. So he’s currently on the run.

OJ for Rylan this Sat

Looks like he's in for the next 4 Saturdays. He's sitting in on the 3rd, 10th and 17th June as well.

 

Jason Mohammed sits in for Owain on early breakfast W/C 18th June for two weeks. I think that's the first time he's been off since taking over the show.

Adele Roberts sits in for DJ Spoony (The Good Grove) on Friday 23rd June.

Emma Willis sits in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 24th June

Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine W/C Monday 26th June.

Nicki Chapman is sitting in for Zoe Ball on Monday 26th & Tuesday 27th June.

Yeah I think it is the first time Owain has had cover, I was sort of curious who would be his cover. Its not like they've got no presenters in Cardiff considering there is Radio Wales and Cymru and Cymru 2 but they still want someone with the right feel. Jason makes a lot of sense considering he already is on Radio 2 and is based in Cardiff. Tho with all the people who have covered for OJ (and for Janice Long and Alex Lester before) I think it might be about who is willing to work and be up at stupid o'clock more than anything else. Huw Stephens could be a possibility as well

    • https://youtu.be/A_Cycjg5_9A?si=NiLTFeiTNWBExFoR   As barmy as Sam Ryder has now gone, as shown in this video. I'd still rather it than that bland Olly Alexander record. 
    • I like Scott, and I listen to Rylan's show every week... they do sound great together on Eurovision etc but.. as for a daily show together, I don't think it would work. Rylan would probably have to reign it in a bit which would lose his appeal, otherwise it may become too chaotic, in my opinion. That Saturday slot is perfect for Rylan, his rapport with Sally Traffic and Lottie is great. I suppose it comes down to cost as well and if he would want a daily show?   Radio 2 are clearly happy with Scott's show, and considering he's just won Best Entertainment Show at the ARIA's, I can't see them changing much.  
    • A win for Scott which is fantastic after the last few years he's been through! 
    • Am I outnumbered for not wanting to work in radio? It feels like there's a lot of geeks that want a job in the industry here.
    • Thought Sam and Danni were robbed of an award.  
    • OJ Borg is in for Trevor Nelson on the Rhythm Nation tonight (with Phill Williams on overnight). He's also in for Michael Ball for the next two Sundays (12th and 19th May). Ros Atkins (BBC's Analysis editior) is in for Jeremy Vine on Thursday. Another new name to Radio 2 is Oliver Hides from BBC Radio Wales. He sat in for Owain Wynn Evans yesterday and he's in again this Thursday (9th May) and Bank Holiday Monday (27th) Spoony in for Scott Mills from Tuesday 28th till Friday 31st May.  
    • Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job. 
    • They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments. 
    • I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!
    • Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort. 
    • I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.
    • Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year? 
    • The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.
