It's become a running discussion point on here and elsewhere how ever since Matt & Mollie stopped doing the 1-4pm slot on Friday to Sunday it's become a bit of a lucky dip with no permanent replacement for Matt & Mollie yet selected or any indication of when or if there'll be a permanent replacement.

In a way I'd rather they take their time and select a good replacement rather than Danny Beard it (in fact I wish they'd done this strategy with Going Home after Jordan's exit until Katie agreed to do the show from LONDON?!) .

Who's impressed so far of those you've heard? Probably stating the obvious but IMO James Cusack and Emil Franchi have been standouts and could easily if they wanted to do the slot full-time from tomorrow. Both strong listens and had good features. Can't help both were slightly overlooked in the 2022 changes.

James has been the strongest by far. It'll be a shame if he's overlooked. Emil has been a decent listen these past few weeks too. They're the two that have stood out for me.

I do think the best idea would be to move Sam & Danni to Friday-Sunday afternoon with a new solo presenter on weekend breakfast. 

I wonder what the deal was with that Jack Remington, who popped up during the summer detention thing? Wasn't it mentioned that they referred to a new presenter then he walked in?

I'd like to see it given to Joel Mitchell, who's really grown in confidence since his earlier cover stints. Emil and James are great too but tbf have been around on various stations for a few years now, and it would be good to see new talent be given a chance.

Emil is good but James C is still a cut above IMO. I know he's a bit older than some of the options but it's incredible he's still not got a regular show given the amount of quality cover he's done.

agree I still think James cusack is by far the strongest from his month in june and its easy to see why he came out on top by a long way of the favourite r1 cover presenter poll.

Dont get me wrong I think some of the others have come on but you would expect them to with lots of shows. If james did end up with the 1-4 weekend slot they would need the next crop to cover plus any other weekend shows therefore its important that most have sounded good.

I've said this before when he was paired with vicky, I've listened to emil on absolute and he is good on there but find him to skew a bit old in terms of content and talking points on r1

Emil is better than James for me but they're both miles ahead of all the other cover presenters. As you'd expect as they're both really experienced ie maybe a bit old for a 'beginners' gig on R1!! It's a catch 22. 

Controversially I quite like the rotation and getting loads of people a chance to shine/learn though and wouldn't mind it carrying on, just maybe elsewhere in the schedule

I agree the rotation has been really great for presenters to get a short gig at Radio 1, maybe they should've done it on the 10:30 - 12:45 slot instead on Friday - Saturday for a month.

They already had a rotation slot with Friday early breakfast, which I assume will return in January.

      I was talking specially about summer ones. The Halloween ones are always mystery and never hunts (because they’re supposed to be small and quick presumably).

      Weekend Breakfast can become a bit of a content wasteland though. Look at the difference in show that Matt & Mollie did there compared to weekend afternoons. I totally agree with your point though, both shows are interchangeable but I think it’s a good call to have Mylo & Rosie on for 5 mornings a week. I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere, but are we assuming they’ll still be Salford too? Could Emil being based in London mean that show is moved back there because weekends already have other Salford based shows?

      Would the Murder Mystery from Halloween 2022 count?

      Early and weekend breakfast I see as pretty similar. I expect Emil to do be doing quite a bit of weekday cover especially on going home so probably makes sense he does weekend breakfast.

      That's a good point about Giant Detention but I wouldn't say there's been an equal mix. We've had Giant Jigsaw, Giant DJ Hunt and Giant Face Off which were all hunt ones and before Giant Detention I think the last mystery one would've been Summer Breakout before Vick and Jordan started drive time.

      Now I think about it, I’m surprised Mylo & Rosie and Emil Franchi weren’t the other way around. Wouldn’t it make more sense for a duo with years of breakfast experience to do weekend breakfast rather than be wasted on early breakfast? Not that Emil isn’t also more than capable but out of him and M+R pairing it would make more sense if he was on earlies?

      I didn't get a chance to reply. There aren't really many shocks though maybe; - James Cusack is a surprise exit but maybe he has something else lined up. A daily high profile show on a big network is likely to be better financially than being stuck on weekend breakfast at Radio 1 with no clear progression. - Going Home is clearly going to limp on as it is. - It feels strange Vicky Hawksworth is staying as no shows seem to have worked for her yet.  The new set-up for her doesn't feel like it will last forever. Nothing else is much of a surprise, presenters leaving that have reached the natural end of their Radio 1 life, full-time shows for tried and trusted cover and a big promotion for Jeremiah who has hardly been off daytime radio over the past year to 18 months.

      Of course, me with short memory, that's likely! 😆

      I would imagine they would be covering Going Home whilst Katie is on holiday

      8th-9th August Mylo & Rosie in for Sam & Danni 9th August Pete Allison in for Lauren with Shanequa 10th-13th August Jerry in for Mollie with Matt Sam and Danni seems to be off their slots for a few weeks in August, wonder if they are covering elsewhere or just taking time off?

      What might cover look like after September?

      By abertom · Posted

      Saturday I reckon so, I don’t think they’d take him off lifehacks to do Sundays though but that is a possible could get away with a double shift.
