Scott’s 8am Song

[abertom]

So do we think Scott’s last afternoon show is two weeks tomorrow? And what do we want on Scott’s new breakfast show? Wonder years I assume to end the week.

Chappers on for a feature once a week!

Blimey. Wasn't expecting to log on to read this. Great news for Scott. It's a shame OJ hasn't got the afternoon show, could've moved it to Salford at the same time. I feel he's been overlooked for this. Trevor's current show is the perfect format for him so a bit of an odd choice.

He's a good presenter, don't get me wrong. I just think he'll actually be wasted playing playlist music. It's brilliant that Scott's finally got the breakfast show after all these years of being a stand in on R1/2

I am soooo happy for our Scott

[xxladybarefootxx]

Oh wow!!! This is fantastic news for Scott 🥳🥳 wayyy to much choice at breakfast now - but hopefully this will see a return to s Scott podcast in some form, preferably daily!

I fear I’m going to have to break up with Greg in January…. This is huge!

[coffeeandgin]

Well this is the day this forum has been preparing for since it began - we just guessed the wrong station at first 😂

But yep so pleased for Scott - Zoe's summer absence unplanned as it was now feels like an on-air audition and Scott clearly impressed and was much more like his Radio 1 self.

Does leave us all with a major listening quandary though - which of Greg, Jordan or Scott are we all picking (or who knows maybe even Moyles on X)? For me has to be Scott. Though does now mean I can listen to both Scott and Matt & Mol which is a result.

Wonder if the Scott Mills Daily will officially return?

The best way to do an announcement anyway, get it all out there and avoid the speculation. Not sure if anyone expected Scott to go from afternoons to breakfast in two years - perhaps not even Scott!

I couldn’t see Scott doing just 2 hours a day for too long

This has been coming for a long time with Scott on breakfast. Although I will miss him on afternoons, I won't hear much of him that time of the morning sadly.

I wonder if Tina will still be on the news with Scott or someone new

I think Tina could possibly stay unless she wants to explore other opportunities in her own right

Richie probably needs to have other opportunities

She'd probably be first in line for whenever Jeremy calls time on the lunchtime slot, Although i personally think she will eventually end up as one of the main faces of the News at Six and Ten on BBC One (she's already an occasional presenter of both).

I can't see them removing Tina & Richie from breakfast. Richie is the morning travel presenter regardless as he goes onto present the travel bullitens in Vernon's show. I must admit though, Ellie Brennan worked well with Scott and Tina when she was on one of the weeks in for Richie.

Love the story of Greg and Nick waiting for the news about Scott

[UnofficialStark]

If Richie and Tina do stay it'll be the first time a Breakfast show team has carried over to a new main presenter won't it? I mean Chris Evans took his team with him and even on R1 when Grimmy left, Tina left.

[AndyK77]

The more surprising thing about Radio 2 is Vine still there. Tina is the obvious replacement and most people seem to prefer her in that slot than him. He is a parody of himself now.

[Ash101]

I think I’d like to see a new team built around Scott. Richie has had 6 years on Breakfast with Zoe, so it’s not really unreasonable… I hope we get a few more fun features. The lack of “games” like you get on Radio 1 is something I miss with Scott

big day my reaction here

[TheSaviourisHere]

Was Scott interviewed on bbc news yesterday?

Yes. He was asked about potentially being one of the highest paid people at the BBC, He said he hadn't even thought about and he doesn't do it for the money, but the love of the job.

[ianwilk1999]

Its clear to see how much he loves radio so I can totally believe this

[Jono]

Setting my alarm for 6.30! Really excited to hear the first show - I imagine for Scott it's been years in the planning! 

[GrimsbyGal]

Is there going to be a Scott Mills Daily? 

[TheSaviourisHere]

Morning all whos up and ready for this historic day for our Scott

[Darren m]

I am at the moment got Jordan and Chris on gonna listen to the whole of scotts  show this morning 

 

[Jono]

This website has waited twenty years or more for this moment, huge day 😂

[onlyME]

It's more like a continuation of the Scott on Radio 1 than what he delivered on Radio 2 afternoons. Not for the features but his personality.
