They could do an Early Breakfast Show from like 4am with Ore Olukoga and Start Weekend Breakfast from a slightly earlier time from 6:30am

Saturday & Sunday 

4am - 6:30am Weekend Early Breakfast with Ore Olukoga

6:30am - 10am Weekend Breakfast with Sam & Danni

I think Power Down Playlists should be axed with the recent shutdown of Radio1 Relax and there could be an New Show in that slot although it is only an hour but the shows after could be pushed back an hour or two

They already introduced an early breakfast show on a weekend a few years ago, hosted by Arielle Free prior to her moving to the weekday early breakfast show. It didn't last that long. It was given up presumably due to low ratings not justifying the cost of a live presenter/production costs etc.

I know I’m old but does anyone remember the 10pm - 12am live show every night Monday to Thursday with Colin Murray then nick grimshaw took over that was live and that was a brilliant show 😃

Weekend early breakfast imo is pointless very few people are up and agree wouldnt be worth investing in. The 10pm evening slot however I do agree we need a live evening show. Arielle (unlikely now) would have been my choice

Yes I don’t remember much of Colin but did listen to Grimmy’s and then Phil/Alice

I am even older - I remember how great Mark Radcliffe was on that slot (Lard wasn't even named as co-presenter at that stage).

Yeah its a shame the night time schedules were really cut back a few years ago. It appears not much live between 10pm-5am nowadays. I think Dan P Carter does the Rock show live though?

I listen to both Dan and Benji B most weeks and it sort of confuses me. Both  of them seem live at some points at not at others. Both of them give out emails and socials instead of text/WhatsApp number which is usually one of the main signs its a Pre record but with both of them you will get messages that seem to be commenting on what is happening live even on email but it might be the other way around where they are planning the show around it to make it feel more live even if it isn't. I would prefer if it's always live but understand why it can't be

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • 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
