Gary Davies is presenting Pick Of The Pops again this week.

Nicki Chapman is presenting Sunday Love Songs for at least the next few weeks.

It will be intriguing to see how they handle these shows going forward in the coming weeks and months.

@NathanS There’s no one billed for Sunday Love Songs, where are you getting Nicki Chapman from?

Rylan was originally listed as covering Scott's 4th week off (w/c 18th March), but it's changed to Spoony covering all 4 weeks now. A bit of a shame as I was looking forward to hear him covering again. He was actually quite good when he sat in before Christmas. In my opinion the best person that's stood in for him. 

 

Edit: He's listed for the following week (w/c 25th March)

Can’t be many more weeks left for Claudia? I do enjoy Emma Willis as a presenter though. That shows going to have a bit of a gear change from Romesh takes over 

Claudia's last show is on the 23rd March. She's off next week with Emma Willis sitting in, so she only has one show left. 

A few more schedule changes... Easter Monday is:

Gaby Roslin in for Zoe Ball on the breakfast Show

Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay

Tony Blackburn's 'Sounds Of Soul' between 12pm and 2pm

Richie Anderson in for Scott Mills

Paddy McGuiness in for Sara Cox

 

Gaby and Gary are in for Zoe and Vernon respectively for all of that week, Tina Daheley is in for Jeremy Vine during the same week starting Tuesday 2nd April. Scott appears to be back on the 2nd April.

Seems with Tony Blackburn’s Sound of Soul and Clash of the pirates may be a good pull for the stations elder demographics and if marketed correctly could be something to attract listeners of Boom Radio for a couple of hours.

Huw Stephens in for Owain Wynn Evans on early breakfast this morning (11th March). Jason Mohammad is in the rest of the week.

 

Can't recall him covering on Radio 2 before? Is this his first time?

I am guessing this is more to do with the fact the show comes from Cardiff so has limited choice in last minute cover?

I imagine so, as it appears to be last minute. OJ Borg has covered the show a couple of times from Salford, but presumably as it's last minute... It's a bit more difficult to switch production to London or Salford.

Zoe Ball is understandably away from the breakfast show after she recently shared the news about her Mother being ill, so Gaby Roslin continues to stand in for now.

Huw Stephens is now in for Owain all week now instead of Jason Mohammad. 

Judi Love is in for Rob Beckett on Sunday 31st March

Edit: It's changed again so Phill Williams is now listed on early breakfast for the rest of the week. Huw Stephens did yesterday and today (Monday and Tuesday)

And spoony is constantly in for Scott mills !!! Diva or drama? 

Or agreed time off from his bosses... He's off for five weeks, back on April 2nd. Having time off from work doesn't make someone a 'diva'?

I guess this is because they have no one else to cover on 6 Music? Huw had to double shift it today.

More than likely. As said further up... with the show coming from Cardiff, it's a bit difficult to relocate production to another part of the UK last minute.. I assume Phil will be coming from Salford rather than having to travel all the way to Cardiff to cover.

A couple more bits:

Gaby Roslin is on breakfast for the rest of the week

Sue Perkins in for Michael Ball on Sunday 17th and 24th March.

Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.

    • 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.
