The press release said that, but it also states on the press release that Mark Goodier will be live as well, which is certainly not correct as the Pick Of The Pops Christmas special is already available on Sounds. Jane pre recorded last year's Christmas day special, along with the two bank holiday shows she did earlier in the year. I stand to be corrected though 🤷

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 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?

Take that back was 14th January so maybe there will be 2/3 weeks of Gaby covering

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?

Grimmy in for Rylan on Saturday 4th January 

Week Commencing 6th January 

Gary Davies is still in for Vernon

Edith Bowman in for Jo Whiley

Spoony is 'in' for Trevor Nelson. I'm not sure whether that means he's finished on Rhythm Nation by this point, but I'm surprised Spoony is covering what is effectively his own slot so close to him taking over with The Good Groove. It also means someone else will be covering the afternoon show... Hopefully OJ Borg.

I think the schedule will be updated

Maybe they havent adjusted the schedule pages yet but that could be the first week of the new shows, Breakfast and Afternoons are not labelled

It won't be the first week of new shows. Pretty sure I read that Trevor Nelson has specifically said now about starting 'late Jan' which ties in with several comments about w/c 27 Jan being the launch week. After panto, Scott will need a break and prep time, in order to then have a decent run of the new show before any breaks.

Richie Anderson is doing the mid afternoon slot (2-4pm) today and Friday. Tomorrow (Christmas Eve) and Boxing Day he's on for 4 hours between 2 and 6pm.

He's also in for Dermot O'Leary on Saturday 28th December and Saturday 4th January.

Is that a late change? It was meant to be Spoony today and tomorrow wasn’t it?

Yeah I think so. Spoony was meant to be on all week (except Christmas day). Tomorrow and Boxing Day was definitely meant to be Spoony followed by Richie at 4, but they've just merged the two shows together on those days.

Richie is actually on for 5 hours on Boxing Day between 2 and 7.

Mark Goodier is presenting the breakfast show next week, with OJ Borg on the afternoon show and Phil Williams on overnights all week.

Seems Spoony has had brain surgery over Christmas. Hope he is ok. Nice to see OJ has some weekday cover slots as well. Wonder if Mark will be the go to cover now with Scott? Gary in for Vernon as well.

I heard Spoony revealing it on the radio, understandably he gotta bit emotional when talking about it. Glad to hear he's on the mend and back on air.

OJ is the main stand in for Sara (he's covering this week bar tonight and tomorrow because of no drive time show on NYE/NYD) but yeah I'm glad he's doing the interim afternoon slot from next week. It's a shame he didn't get the slot full time to be fair. Will be interesting to see who covers Trevor going forwards. I don't think we'll see Mark covering often to be fair. He's only done one day cover since he returned (one day in fir Vernon). OJ and Gary Davies seem to fill the void that Mark Goodier used to fill sitting in for the main DJs. They're probably just a bit stuck for cover presenters at the moment. Had Grimmy not still been on 6 music next week, he would've been a good shout to sit on either show (his Rylan cover has been great but that's for another post)

    • 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 ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • 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.
