Jordan & Mollie are in for Greg from Friday 20th to Friday 27th October.

Matt is solo on Friday 20th October.

Katie is in for Jordan from Monday 23rd to Thursday 26th October.

Jamie is in for Mollie on Friday 27th October.

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.

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

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

Yea. Maybe Matt will leave the station shortly then 

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!?

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 :((

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.

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.

While i understand this arguement i think Mollie has legs left in her Radio 1 run

    • I see Katie (and Mairead) were out with Jordan tonight.  I don’t listen to the show any longer, I am shocked they are allowed to mention Jordan.
    • At least I do not ask stupid questions…😂
    • I suggest you follow the other DJs too if so, you will learn the hardest working will go further 🤣
    • A simple check on his instagram would answer all your questions , he’s on tour with his wife and the team behind his podcast. I suggest anyone to follow the radio presenters, you will learn a lot about their other jobs and work commitments. 
    • Where is Jamie? It felt like he was settling in when Vick wasn’t on but he’s not been on since last Tuesday now. They’ve not even mentioned him, in fact they’ve mentioned Jordan more than they’ve mentioned him in the last two days.
    • Scott's show is on the road next week, live from Malmö in Sweden on Wednesday and Friday, ahead of Eurovision. As he's doing the semi final coverage on the TV on Tuesday and Thursday alongside Rylan, Gary Davies sits in for him on those days.
    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
