Pretty niche and radio geeky even for this site but it felt relevant haha 

Plus the fact I think they're at three national commercial multiplezes (D1, D2, Sound Digital) plus all the regional and local commercial owned ones so it's probably a situation of just filling the space because they can. 

Honestly same, its strange how many of these spinoff stations both Bauer and global just start every so often while keeping the vast majority of the existing ones going. Partially it's a thing where they own the multiplexes so they do what the hell they like with them. And what they seem to do is just downgrade the Bitrate so more space on the multiplexes and they audience probably doesn't notice or care the drop in sound quality

Well 😂 As an aside, I bet the producers have loved Scott on Radio 2 Breakfast for the duration. Must have helped with publicity.

Mild Spoiler: WELL DONE SCOTT COME ON  

It's being updated week by week. It was showing Zoe on the schedule for this week until they updated it part way through last week.  

Scott on breakfast until the 20th September 

I highly doubt it to be fair. Like Gary Davies, he's a safe pair of hands. I'd assume Gary is unavailable on Monday. He covered the same slot quite regularly when he was last at Radio 2 and Ken Bruce was at the helm. If (and that's a big if) there ends up being changes at breakfast, i'd like to think OJ Borg will finally be given the chance to get a daytime slot. He will be the first person to have hosted Popmaster (on both R2 and Greatest Hits Radio) and Ten To The Top.

Jaguar in for Sarah Story on the 4th October.

With Marks health and business commitments I am pretty confident he won’t be doing a permanent week day slot anytime soon. 

I’m thinking maybe they’re trying him out for a proper daytime show, maybe Scott’s slot if he goes to breakfast?
