Just wondering if anyone knows what is going on at Global's HQ.  The restaurant underneath formally TGI Friday closed last year.  I noticed on social media in the last week or so that hoarding has gone around it. The hoarding has the Global logo printed all over it with the old TGI signs cover with Global logo and info to. Has Global taken over the space? With higher ceilings and more space it would make great place to build new studios for radio, podcast and news.

Half is going to be capitals new music storage facility for the 2 songs added every 6 months and the other half is a new planning room for how many spinoff stations they are going to launch in the next 12 months

Rumour is 432

I made the point as normally hoarding would give details as to who taking over the unit not promoting the offices above. Also with the launch of Global Studios and doing more podcasts they might want/need to have more podcast studios.

Turns out I was correct and Global did take over the restaurant below their offices. This week they opened a new reception, meeting rooms and ground cafe in part of it. They also revealed new studios are been built. Maybe in the back part but I also believe that there is a basement. Will global launch new radio studio maybe but likely podcast studios. Interesting times for global.

    • Saturday 8th August: Joel Dommett in for Dermot O'Leary  Ellie Taylor in for Emma Willis Sunday 9th August: Ricky Ross (lead singer of Deacon Blue) is presenting Sounds Of The 70's. W/C Monday 10th August: Joel Dommett is doing a second week on drivetime.   Clara Amfo sits in for Trevor Nelson on Thursday 13th August, with Mark Goodier sitting in on Friday 14th (Spoony's in Monday-Wednesday)
    • 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
    • Would they be covering Breakfast?
    • 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?
    • 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.  
    • 14th August Mylo & Rosie in for Sam & Danni
    • Sorry I meant the week James is covering Greg, not next week.
