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

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!

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.

on the grid.

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.

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

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.

    • I’m have no interest in listening to GK Barry so it shall be Sounds or Spotify for me.
    • Agree completely about not having her on a Thursday, but 2 solid weeks would most likely be too much!!
    • Let's hope so, as forcibly taking off one of the best shows on the station one day a week would rival Aled's employment of Danny Beard as his worst decision.
    • Matt was doing this musical thing so could be that?
    • This GK Barry thing is so weird. Surely they’d give her a slot in the summer instead of ripping up the schedule at the start of the year. Casual listeners will think the change is permanent as it’s lined up with the rest of the schedule changing.    Surely doing the two week stint that James is doing on Going Home would be better. 
    • Oh I’d forgotten about GK Barry. I do wonder whether Matt & Mollie requested to drop Thursdays or were forced. It’s so random to have a different show on a Thursday afternoon
    • Some notes about the schedules released from the 5th September. James is still down to do Weekend Breakfast, it might be his last weekend. Nat and Vicky are down to do the 4th-5th September but generic listings on the 6th Sep. Callum Leslie in for Lauren on Life Hacks. Looks like there will be an Indie show on both the 6th and 8th September as it moves to it new slot. GK Barry begins her run of shows on the 10th September, it's called The GK Barry Show on Radio 1.
    • Early Hours Schedule Changes  Wednesday 1am/2am Radio1 Dance Presents - Moved from Thursdays 1am/2am Thursday 1am/2am Danny Howard's Club Mix - Moved from Fridays 1am/2am   Friday 1am/2am R1 Workout Anthems - Replacing Danny H Ckub Mix 2am/3am R1 Pop Anthems - Replacing the 2h R1 Anthems Show  3am/4am R1 Pop Anthems - Replacing the 2h R1 Anthems Show    Saturdays 2am/3am Danny Howard's Club Mix - Moved from Saturdays 3am/4am 3am/4am Radio1 Dance Anthems with Charlie Hedges   *No R1 Dance Presents Show on a Saturday Morning  
    • R1 Schedule Changes We Knew about before they got removed: 14th - 16th Aug & 21st - 23rd Aug: Mylo & Rosie sit in for Sam & Danni 15th & 16th Aug: Minah sits in for Vicky 15th Aug: DJ Kizzi sits in for Jerry 15th & 22nd Aug: Connor Coates sits in for Charlie Hedges 18th & 25th Aug: Jordan Blyth sits in for Alyx Holcombe
    • Interesting how it still says Group Chat with Nat & Vicky?
    • New weekday schedule starts W/C 7th September. Also as predicted, Mylo & Rosie start at 4am.
    • Agreed. I wasn't expecting the gap to be as long as this, and we've not even got an announcement yet. I know they needed to get breakfast sorted, but we knew who was taking over within 4 weeks of Gary stepping in.  
    • In fairness almost all the presenters this summer have done two week stints. It’s bizarre that the interim show itself is continuing this far into the year though. 
    • W/C 7th September. Rather unsurprisingly, a new drivetime show isn't being launched this week. Gary Davies is listed still. I wonder if he'll now do a stint on drive until any new show launches.
    • Of course completely understand it's not the most important thing to work on, but that doesn't explain how some updates have been made and then removed, that's even more work than just doing the update and leaving it!
