It isn't. They're something called Sunday Love Songs' Extra. I believe they're 30 minutes long and will be airing in the middle of the night like other Sounds content.

The 7-9pm slot on the 21st-24th August has been renamed 'Steve Wright's Summer Nights'.

Interesting that Wynne Evans is covering Owain, do we know if he's been on R2 before? (my dad listens to him on Radio Wales)

Did a google theres no reference to him presenting on radio 2 but unsure about guesting. Issue is with him sort of name sharing with Owain Wynne Evans who he is sitting in for it does make it harder to raid internet for any archive source of possible previous presenting jobs

    • Here's an interesting one... Sara Cox is in for Scott covering breakfast on Monday 10th March. She was previously the main stand in for Chris Evans on the breakfast show prior to her taking over drivetime. In turn, OJ Borg is in for Sara on drive.. and Phil Williams is on overnight for OJ.
    • Sam & Danni are in for Vick, Katie & Jamie on Wednesday 5th March & Thursday 13th March.
    • 21st Feb 6pm-7pm: Danny Howard 7pm-9pm: Radio 1 Dance Awards 9pm-10pm: Sarah Story.
    • Calum Leslie is in for Lauren on Sunday 16th February. Jaguar is in for Sian on Sunday 9th March. CassKidd is in for Benji on Wednesday 12th March.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon tomorrow (Tuesday 11th February)
    • I’m not getting to listen as much now as my office has the “local” Bauer station on and no one will change it. I’m listening to Scott on R2 from 6.30-7am and then I’ll switch to Greg.  I’m still enjoying listening to Greg, although Scott being on R2 breakfast is proving to be a listening quandary. I don’t mind RMC, I do enjoy Charlie on Dance Anthems too. Matt and Millie/Jerry are really good Going Home… I think they need to get some direction with this. I’m usually listening on the way home and I’m just feeling it’s not working. It feels all over the place in my mind as one is usually off. With Katie going on maternity leave imminently, it will be interesting to see what happens next. Vick and Katie have always worked well together so I think they should maybe focus on those two, even if they are working one out of London and one out of Manchester.    Weekends - Nat and Vicky - I turn off on a Friday and actually put on Vernon. I do tune in for the Noughties show but I’m beginning to find it a bit tired. When it first started, they had the whole two hours and would sometimes pull a few gems out that had been forgotten, it really did feel like a treat to listen to. Now it just seems that they play the safest options that are usually showing up on anthems every other day or week. I think it would be good if they maybe did a deep dive and chose a year and maybe looked back at a Radio 1 playlist from that week of that year. There’s so much good music from the Noughties but it does feel like they overlook what was popular at the time and just play songs that have just remained popular. I get they are appealing to younger audiences and my age group is probably due to move to R2 but… it would be good to hear some forgotten gems of that time 
    • 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 😂
