From likely to unlikely:

-James Cusack to get a full-time show. Surely only a matter of time and he's been on cover increasingly frequently recently.

-Maia Beth takes Future Pop full-time. She's pretty frequent cover on there already and it's an easy way to get another new DJ onto the station.

-Vick to leave Life Hacks. She's stopped travelling up to Manchester on a regular basis for it plus was away over the summer and not sure how much longer she'll want to give up her Sundays.  Katie & Lauren Layfield too feels a very obvious duo to have on Life Hacks.

-Dean & Vicky split up. It's been 18 months and that show just hasn't stuck and frankly both sound better either solo or alongside other DJs. Think Vicky might be the one to lose out if so - she's weekend cover way more frequently than you'd expect a weekday DJ to be (Charlie and Vick's Saturday and Sunday shows being permenant roles).

-One of Matt Edmondson or Vick Hope to leave Radio 1. Would happily have both remain but does feel as good as he is as if Matt might be on borrowed time on Radio 1. Plus Vick has so much else going on outside Radio 1 and if she's not doing Breakfast there's nowhere to go on Radio 1 post Going Home that wouldn't be a demotion.

-Jordan to get Breakfast. Wouldn't be shocked if Greg called it a day for a new Breakfast show come September. 6 years would be a great innings and could see him either taking another show on Radio 1 or leaving Radio 1 entirely - between Tailenders, his books with Chris Smith, shows on Radio 4 etc he has plenty to keep him busy.

If so Jordan in a male-female duo is the obvious choice - suspect it would be Katie but don't rule out Mollie King.

-If above did happen then don't rule out Dean getting Drive in some form. Aled really seems to rate Dean for some reason - he very quickly rose up the ranks and him doing the New Years week cover on Breakfast seemed like it might have something more to it - especially given Jordan & Katie were on Going Home that week so seemingly available that week.

I think you may be close with the Vick Hope one. Have you seen that she is now doing regular weekly tv work for Pointless. It feels like she has plenty going on and like you say if she doesn't want breakfast, there isn't really anywhere else to go at R1 after drive.

I guess we missed off Jordan going to Capital. It's not Vick or Matt!

I suppose "Jordan to get Breakfast" is kind of right... just on Capital instead.. 😏😂

      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!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      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
