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

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.

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!

OJ Borg sat in for Phil Williams who usually sits in for OJ Borg on Monday’s 😆

[NathanS]

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.

[NathanS]

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.

 

 

[NathanS]

DJ Spoony is in for Scott Mills for the "next few weeks" while he sits in on the breakfast show.

[NathanS]
