Too much breakfast choice now! All this forums favourites on breakfast. Moyles, Greg, Jordan and Scott (of course we have to listen to Scott though - it’s unofficial mills after all)

Big week for Scott - and it's great he's on breakfast. Think he's got a lot more license to be creative there. And seemingly play Nickelback...

Radio 2 just as confusing as Radio 1 for schedules recently - Scott, Vernon, Tina and Spoony.

It was the same the other month when he sat in on a Saturday for Rylan, he had Sally Traffic and Lottie to bounce off. He is a brilliant solo presenter, and I actually do like his afternoon show, it's just missing 'something' that the R1 show had.  

But I think that is in part down to the slick music heavy format and the type of show management are asking him to do. Great to hear Scott on breakfast though. He now joins the list of people that have hosted both the Radio 1 and Radio 2 breakfast show.

On another note, hopefully everything is okay with Zoe Ball, she's only recently returned from holiday and was suddenly off on Friday.

I think the fact there’s more time helps as well, having only 2 hours in the afternoon isn’t really enough and doesn’t feel like there’s much in the show due to how much music there is, probably why they changed the podcast to weekly instead of daily.

Yeah I didn't think it was scheduled cover. Interesting it's the first time Scott has done it, perhaps they feel now is the right time to get him experimenting with other slots (so to speak).

I really hope Scott gets the breakfast show, he was so great today. Zoe is really good but Scott is so much better in breakfast than in his afternoon slot. However it’ll be difficult to choose between Greg and Scott but I’ll have to go with Scott.

First time Chris and Scott have gone head-to-head on the radio?

Very Interesting that they're head to head now. There's so much choice over breakfast now: Jordan, Chris and Sian on Capital, Scott on Radio 2, Greg on Radio 1, Chris Moyles on Radio X. All from Radio 1 (apart from Sian).

Think I might cheat on Radio 1 for the next few weeks and give Scott a listen. Can always catch up with Greg on the podcast

Exactly what I'm doing, The fact that Greg has a podcast makes it a lot easier to listen back cause they usually don't miss any big moments on there.

I wonder if our Gregory and our Mills will be popping out for a coffee together over the next few weeks?

I bet they have seen each other in the kitchen when songs are playing

Althogh Greg is on until 11 at the moment and Scott is on until 0930 so he will be home before Greg finishes

Interesting they have only now let him cover, I can only imagine that this is trying Scott out as permenent cover or Gabby Roslin and Gary Davies are not about

Maybe they will now use Scott (hoping so) going forward for breakfast cover ala R1 and someone else like Gary or OJ or Spoony covers 2-4 all the time, which would make sense going back to the Evans era for the first time when Sara was the permenent cover

Something tells me that Sara will get breakfast next because she hasn't covered in Zoe's time at all

    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • 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!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • 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 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
