The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).

In that case, I think you're right!

I'm unsure why they list Monday's overnight show under 'OJ Borg', as it's been Phil's show for about two years. Only thing I can think is for the benefit of BBC Sounds, keeping all 5 weeknight overnight shows under one link/listing?

A couple more changes:

Edith Bowman in for Jo Whiley for two weeks starting Monday 19th August.

Phil Williams in for OJ Borg on Thursday 22nd and Friday 23rd August.

Spoony is in for Scott Mills on Friday 23rd August.

Paddy O'Connell in for Rob Beckett on Sunday 25th August

Bank Holiday (26th August) is currently listed as:

Oliver Hides in for Owain Wynn Evans

Gaby Roslin in for Zoe Ball on breakfast

Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay

12pm-2pm is currently blank, although this slot is usually given over to Tony Blackburn for 'Sounds Of Soul' so it's likely the case again. Scott is still listed for his slot which will probably change as he doesn't host on bank holiday, same with Sara Cox, who is still listed but through to 8pm, Blues Show is an hour earlier, and Trevor Nelson gains an extra hour for a carnival special.

    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot 
    • I’m thinking the same redding and Leeds etc 
    • -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
    • - Jamie Laing will take a break from Going Home from 28th July. Sam and Danni will cover. - Greg James will host his show until 11am from 21st July (Monday to Thursday only). - Mylo and Rosie, who previously hosted Hits Radio Breakfast in West Yorkshire, will host Friday EB in July. - Charley Marlowe of TikTok fame will host Friday EB in August. - Tskenya Frazer will host Life Hacks with Lauren Layfield in July, whilst Yinka Bikinni will host with Lauren in August. - Jamie Laing and Katie Thistleton will return to Going Home in September.
