Strange. I guess she's back on the 16th then?

 

Maybe. They’re obviously updating it as they go/hear from Zoe.

they added in this week previously & halve just added on next week. Not guarantee it’ll be the 16th

Mark Goodier is in for Vernon Kay next Monday (16th September). It will be the first time he's covered a show since returning to Radio 2. 

I’m thinking maybe they’re trying him out for a proper daytime show, maybe Scott’s slot if he goes to breakfast?

With Marks health and business commitments I am pretty confident he won’t be doing a permanent week day slot anytime soon.

I highly doubt it to be fair. Like Gary Davies, he's a safe pair of hands. I'd assume Gary is unavailable on Monday. He covered the same slot quite regularly when he was last at Radio 2 and Ken Bruce was at the helm. If (and that's a big if) there ends up being changes at breakfast, i'd like to think OJ Borg will finally be given the chance to get a daytime slot.

He will be the first person to have hosted Popmaster (on both R2 and Greatest Hits Radio) and Ten To The Top.

Grimmy is getting loads of cover at the moment! It's great having him back on the radio

He's in for Rylan on Saturday 9th November as well. 

Romesh is still off on the 9th, so Alex Jones sits in again.

Nick Grimshaw is in for Rylan on Saturday 2nd November.

This feels like a great fit and would be a perfect permanent show if Rylan decided to leave.

Funny how we've got both Nick & Shaun Keaveny doing cover on both Virgin Radio & Radio 2 (plus Grimmy putting in a cover shift over at 6 Music too).

Indeed. Looking forward to hearing Grimmy on Saturday. He did a good job covering for Jo Whiley the other month. Rylan should be off during December as well so hopefully he pops up then as well. 

Owain, Vernon, Scott and Rylan are all in panto this year so expect lots of cover presenters during December.

    • Good point - they could do best of Greg, Live Lounge, Matt and Mollie (not sure there were any best bits of Dean and Vicky) and Going Home. Of course if Going Home was included they'd have to start after Jordan left 😛 
    • Also, and not to be forgotten, compere of Matt and Molly's "Initial Reaction" 😁
    • I’m pretty sure they’ve already said it will be late January. Apparently Trevor let slip at some point that his show was starting at the end of Jan so I’m guessing all the changes will take place on January 27th?
    • I reckon Scott will be on on the 6th 
    • Take that back was 14th January so maybe there will be 2/3 weeks of Gaby covering
    • I see Gaby is covering breakfast so I assume she is covering the following week as well and Scott starts on like the 6th or something? do you remember when Zoe started it was like the 2nd or 3rd of Jan 2019 wasn't it?
    • Steffan Powell (former Radio 1 Newsbeat presenter/newsreader) is sitting in for Owain Wynn Evans on New Year's Day/2nd/3rd January. A few other schedule changes going into December: Shaun Keaveny in for Liza Tarbuck tonight (30th November) Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine on Tuesday 3rd December Jason Mohammed in for Owain on Friday 6th December. Romesh off again next week (7th) so Emma Willis sits in Nick Grimshaw in for Rylan on Saturday 14th, 21st and 28th (I assume he's in the following Saturday as well with Rylan still in Panto).
    • I do wish they’d do more with Christmas limbo week than just anthems. Been my complaint each year. Letting them do playlists and requests would actually be so much better or even if Radio 1 did favourite content from the year (guests, Big Weekend, features etc). I’ll be turning off for limbo week again 
    • To be honest  I don't think the first point is that important. But the Anthems thing at christmas is now really dull - this is now 6 years of it. I'd rather it was very playlisted and just text ins and shouts.
    • What do you think to my email to Aled?    Dear Aled. I hope you’re well. I just have a couple of queries regarding the Christmas schedules for Radio 1 that I hope you won’t mind answering. 1. What is the idea on the 23rd and 24th December cutting the shows to only 3 instead of 5 with Dean starting breakfast and both Lauren and Sam and Danni doing 4 hour shows? They are normal working days and I’d imagine the most fun to be working? I’d have early breakfast (cover) Dean atbreakfast, Lauren in mid morning and Sam or Danni to do afternoon and the other going home if you really couldn’t get other cover.  2. How come on the Christmas limbo week the only feature is anthems?  Why do the line up get to do the specialist shows but don’t get do their spin on the breakfast show, live lounge covers or other features. I get early breakfast being rested that week. Nadolig Llawen to everyone at Radio 1 and your family   
    • Pleased Christmas Day is at 7am as 8am is way too late.    New Year’s Day on the other hand should be no earlier than 7 
    • I’m surprised they’re going live as early as 6am on NYD - that feels very early considering last year it was 8am!
    • 1st January Updated 6am-10am: Radio 1 Workout Anthems with Connor Knight 10am-2pm: Radio 1 Workout Anthems with Ore Olukoga
    • Greg has a new BBC Sounds image for Christmas!
    • 2nd January: 6am - Sam & Danni 10am - TBC 2pm - Lauren Layfield 6pm - Jack Saunders 3rd January: 6am - Sam & Danni 10am - Nat O’Leary (no Anthems in the schedule yet) 2pm - Party Anthems with James Cusack 4pm - Chart with Jack Saunders 6pm - Danny Howard 8pm - Sarah Story
