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)

Good Friday (29th 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.

5 weeks and a day, 4 weeks and a day of DJ Spoony, a week of Rylan and Richie Anderson on Easter Monday with Scott back on the 2nd April.

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.

Gary Davies is in for Michelle Visage tonight according to DJ Spoony.

OJ is in for Sara Cox on Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th April, with Phill Williams on overnights.

Anita Rani is listed in the Saturday mid morning slot for the 30th March, 6th April and 13th April.

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
