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

    • 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 ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot
