I wonder if Matt is unavailable or they are trying Jordan out with different pairings.  Seems pretty clear Vick doesn’t want Breakfast.

Jordan and Mollie did do a week of breakfast before a few years ago. 

[ianwilk1999]

It looks like Matt is available if he's still doing the Friday on both weeks. It looks like Jordan is now the go to for breakfast cover and Matt isn't which is quite telling.

Jordan and Katie covering breakfast was very good however so it's got a fair bit to live up to.

Vick is off too on Wednesday 25th - so it's Katie solo!

Yea. Maybe Matt will leave the station shortly then

Maybe they are going for the method that "Drive host is main breakfast dep/in waiting" again like when Scott was on drive he was main breakfast cover clearly Jordan is the next in line for Breakfast although stranger things have happened (Moyles left and Grim came when everyone thought it would be Scott) wouldnt suprise me at all if RMC are next breakfast

I do think that Matt and Mollie should leave at the same time I think that Mollie King could become good asset for Heart FM, Hits Radio or even Radio 2. If I was a commercial rival having someone that is a television personality and former pop-star who is a popular presenter a pop station. I think the station of Hits Radio isn’t as strong and doesn’t have a set image as it’s sister station Greatest Hits Radio should see Hits as a space to go all out pop station celebrating mix of girl bands, boy bands, one hit wonders and icon pop stars with playlists that follow trending songs on social media and the rising stars in pop.

Based on what we've seen, the fact Mollie has her own show, plus is being partnered up with other male DJs on the station, I really doubt they would want to let her go. I do think it's entirely possible that given M&M in the current format hasn't made it to weekdays, they'll be looking to the future and thinking, how long should it stay like that for? What's the development of that slot? Is Mollie better put together with someone like James or Jordan to make a brand new show for weekdays?

It sticks out like a sore thumb that they've passed Matt for breakfast cover twice in a row over Jordan

All highly speculative though - maybe Matt just isn't available Mon-Thurs that week!?

Is Mia in for Mollie on Radio 1 Breakfast with Jordan?

Both the previous instances were during school holidays so Matt may not have wanted to do them when his kids were off.

[Greg20]

A couple of things. I don’t get the interest in Mollie King, I think she’s a good pop star but I haven’t rated her as a radio presenter. She’s not natural on air. However, pairing her up with Jordan might bring that out, who knows! Jordan wants the big gig, he told us in an interview, admittedly joking. Although, it’s clear Vick doesn’t want to do Breakfast again. Jordan and Mollie is a strange pairing, although most of us thought the same when Vick and Jordan were paired up, and now I think they’re great! I’m actually going to miss Vick and Jordan next week :((

[Greg20]

Matt does have lots of time off so maybe he has said he doesn’t want to do it this time? Matt and Mollie do each other justice, so I wouldn’t be sure why they’d want to change that.

Yes all speculation. It's always been Matt covering Greg for as long as I can remember. Its stuck out with it being two breakfast covers that have gone to jordan now, so it's two times in a row he hasn't been available,  Matt still being on air both friday's and then Mollie put on breakfast away her regular show with Matt.

I'll be happy to hear something new and Jordan and Katie were great together so this should also be a good listen

As usual it's either something or nothing.

Nonetheless, it's always interesting who is being chosen to cover one of the biggest radio shows in the country especially when one of the people involved is the natural / obvious successor.

I do wonder what Greg's plan is.  He is certainly under no pressure to leave Radio 1 but I think he'll be driven by wanting to do other things.  It's been his job since leaving Uni after all.

For Jordan it needs to happen fairly soon or it's unlikely he will ever get it.

[Greg20]

What I find interesting is Greg James is the only presenter on daytime who hasn’t got a co-presenter. It shows how good he is.

Many of the presenters are perfectly good on their own - Jordan a clear example.  Though Jordan's style lends itself to having somebody to bounce off.

A lot of the time I really think he should introduce a co presenter to his show. When he’s co-hosted the show with Arielle or Charlie, the chemistry has been brilliant, the show even better than when he’s on his own.

And that's the thing about co-hosting - some people need a co-host to be interesting and others simply go beyond how great they already are - I think this is true of Scott and Jordan. Jordan's last solo chart cover - the day where he basically broke the chart - showed just how much he doesn't NEED a co-host but yet the week on breakfast with Katie showed how a co-host allows him to do stuff he just couldn't solo.

I think she's an asset to Radio 1 in terms of the brand. I mean I think they're both great.
