Angelica Bell is sitting in on the late show next week ahead of Spoony launching The Good Groove in that slot.

Interesting choice & someone going Bauer to BBC rather than the other way round! 
She’s been on Magic and covered Fleur East’s Maternity on Hits.

Friday 17th January has OJ's photo on the breakfast show, and Victoria Derbyshire's on the afternoon show.

This has now been updated. OJ is on breakfast, but Victoria is in for Jeremy, and Richie is covering the afternoon show.

    • Having spent quite a bit of time driving last week, listening to Greg is always good.  The 10 minute takeover provides a good pick me up and his show on Monday was quite good.     RMC im neither here nor there for me  Charlie on Dance Anthems on her own is better. Matt/Mollie/Jerry is always a good listen Going home last week when it was just Vick & Katie for the 3/4 shows (I think) was a good listen.   The Wednesday show with Jamie was ok to listen to, I just don't think he added much.   Can't comment on weekends as I only listen to Dance Anthems on catch up 😂
    • Nope sorry didnt manage to downloade these episode! Any chance you downloaded the first ever new music show with Jack Saunders! If you have it please message me  
    • Apologies for the specific post, but did anyone manage to record any of Jack Saunders New Music Shows for the Sound of 2025? Specifically these two episodes since they’re removed from BBC Sounds now:   https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0026k1t https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0026k7s If you have them please DM/message me! Thank you so much!
    • Rachel Chinouriri is in for Jess on Sunday 16th February. Mo Ayoub is in for Benji on Wednesday 26th February.

    • Emil in for Matt with Jerry on Thursday 20th February.
    • Pop Anthems Extended Next Thursday 3pm - 4pm instead of ending at 3:30pm Vick & Katie to start at the later time of 4pm
    • Yep the Jamie Laing and Danny Beard changes have meant that recently when you the words 'Changes at Radio 1' you do sometimes fear the worst. While I applaud Aled for making the move to put Matt & Mollie on weekdays, their show on weekends was so strong it sort of made the decision for him. If they'd never reached weekdays it would've probably been one of the strongest shows to never make weekdays.
    • James Cusack and Sam & Danni have settled into their new shows really well,  Sam & Danni's show will go from strength to strength as time goes on. The new slot will give them perfect chance to build up to an inevitable move to weekdays.  Going Home is the weak link on the station for me, sadly. It really has suffered losing Jordan. I don't really listen to the show anymore but I gave it a go last week and wasn't impressed. Jamie Laing kept just frequently interrupting with inane comments that added very little. I just don't see the need for him when Vick & Katie were already an established duo.  RMC are fine as presenters.. although i don't think it's ever been the right slot for them. I don't think mid morning needs a trio. Jack Saunders was destined for the new music show so that was another one of Aled's better decisions.   
    • I think all the above posts have summed up overall how I feel. I can't believe it's been nearly a year since Jordan left. I've got to be honest, I feel myself turning over to Radio 2 and sticking with it a lot more often. Greg and Matt are definitely the strongest presenters on the station. I'm not as fully sold on the Matt & Jerry pairing as much as I am Matt & Mollie, that said it's still enjoyable, especially when you compare with what we had on afternoons until last summer. Moving Matt and Mollie to weekdays is the best decision Aled has made in my opinion. Greg has definitely stepped things up a gear again, especially since his new producer came in and since Jordan started at Capital. Nothing will ever beat the Chris Smith pairing, but Greg and Calum are a great double act, the on air interaction with the production team is great as well. I hope he has a few more years on the show at the least as there is no one obvious to replace him in my opinion.
    • Agree with all the above, and let's also take a moment to remember it's less than a year since Danny Beard was on every weekend while James (and others) sat on the sidelines. Thankfully the right decisions were made in the end!
    • Certainly compare now to around this stage a year ago and things look a lot more rosy. For a few weeks back then it looked like it may be an afternoon line-up of Dean & Vicky followed by Jamie Laing & Vick. Meanwhile Matt & Mollie and Katie would still be stuck on weekends. Thankfully of course the further changes announced later that month fixed those issues.
