Adele is so excited about her Radio 2 stint, love her enthusiasm, it sounds like she's really game for doing the station

Think shes very much a positive and enthusiastic person think she’d make great cover over the coming years up to a permanent slot if arises.

Was Adele's Radio 2 stint planned? I wondered why Sam and Danni were in for her, Really feels like she is in that transition phase to Radio 2 but hard to see what permanent slot she could get right now.

 Yes, it's been on the schedules since they were published. Now she's on weekends, and she pretty much does no cover on R1.. makes sense to start using her as cover on R2, while still on weekend breakfast.

Know she’s done one 5Live and Radio 2 cover last year for one show one off. But @NathanS if the station didnt have James Cusack, Emil Franci, Sam & Danni and Robyn Richford and Nat O’Leary think Adele would be popping up more often on Radio 1. But the cover contacts book is bursting why don’t get anyone doing something like 7 days a week with cover and regular commitments.

Can't Adele go back to being on the daytime cover list? That way they could end that dreadful half cover thing they do where one person from the regular pairing is off and the other co-hosts with a cover presenter or just on their own. Adele could easily do what she used to and cover mid mornings again or even cover Vick and Jordan. 

Dean and Vicky seem to both take the same time off, interestingly. I'd stick to Katie or Emil for them.

Long gone are the days when you'd have Jordan covering every show going!

Or the days when Scott used to cover everything going when he was on earlies and weekends

Same as Dev as well he used to get out on weekdays quite a bit

Arielle should really get more cover than she does doesn’t seem fair considering the amount of cover that Adele and Dev did before her. 

Think the cover situation is very different these days whether there would be one presenter expected to cover most time slots and at any notice like Dev, Jordan Northand an extent Adele. With having multiple presenters like Emil and James Cusack. As Arrielle has done television work, other podcasts and DJing and other random bits. So maybe she isn’t as flexible but think she will of course be used in future to cover Dance Anthems and other key slots

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
