Thought i would get everyone's thoughts on who they want with predictions. 

A lot of speculation that it might be Rylan. I would be very disappointed in this decision as maybe selfish of me I would rather a radio person got the gig. I am personally not a fan of him. I will say the same for Romesh and Emma keep them all on Saturday it probably suits them all too.

OJ seems the natural choice always been the go to cover and seems popular with most of the audience. I guess the issue will be he probably wants to host it from Salford? I guess this could cause delays in any announcement. 

Ritchie Anderson? Not for me but if they go with OJ they may put him on the over night shows? 

Spoony? Think he is settled with the Good Groove so don't see it and think he may need a side kick for TeaTime?

Greg James? Surely not? But if he is loyal.to the BBC and they make him an offer he can't refuse it could happen?

Curve Balls- Roman Kemp, anyone from a rival station?

I think they could go down a duo route like Hits and Heart and to some extent Radio 1.

So what's everyone's thoughts on this? Who have I missed?

It will likely be OJ. I don’t particularly like him but Richie Anderson will take OJ shows. There is no one else. It won’t be a bigger star than Cox. Take Greg James off the list, it definitely won’t be him. That would leave a massive hole in the Radio 1 schedule.

I feel like Rylan has very much become a radio person in the same way people like Vernon, Zoe and even Sara herself became after doing TV first. He’s a really good broadcaster and you can tell he’s got versatility from his Radio 4 show in contrast to his Radio 2 one. 
 

I think it’ll most likely be OJ though as it seems like he’s been warming up for a daytime slot for ages. Perhaps he’ll be able to negotiate a Manchester production rather than a London one.

Interesting take. How long has Rylan been on Radio 2 now?

He took over Saturday afternoons in January 2019, when Zoe took over Breakfast. He sat in for Zoe in the same slot twice the previous year.

Around 7 1/2 years I think - he got the Saturday afternoon slot when Zoe Ball got the breakfast show which was in January 2019!

Rylan's great, and i love listening to his Saturday afternoon show but... drivetime is a totally different style of show. Drivetime, like breakfast is quite slick with features, timings etc. The format of Rylan's show sits perfectly for the time of week it's on. 

I think considering the circumstances, they'll probably will try not to rock the boat.. and we may get the most obvious 'safe' options, therefore OJ Borg to drivetime seems most likely . He'll be familiar with the drivetime audience considering the amount of times he's sat in. He's been on overnights 8 years now so a new presenter in that slot will be more logical than the suggestion of taking Spoony off The Good Groove after only a year of it running 4 days a week.

It would then possibly mean Richie Anderson could take overnights across the week. Radio 2 clearly like him, to the point they gave him the Sunday into Monday overnight show in addition to his travel reporting duties.

I think OJ is great and like him to get it. Lot of comments on socials say the same.  Maybe Radio 2 mix it up a bit.

Monday to Thursday

2:00 Afternoons with Trevor

4:30 Drivetime with OJ from Salford 

Friday

2:00 All Request Friday with Gary Davis 

4:00 Weekend Starter with Rylan 

Ellie take over Rylan on Saturday of he doesn't want to do both.

That all seems likely. My mate who i do radio with loves Rylan too and says his shows are a lot like Coxy real fun chaos. You enjoy the personality rather than the format

Do you know what I was thinking of other scenarios. Maybe Rylan gets it Mon-Fri and then Gary gets all Request Friday at least that way Gary has been rewarded for this tricky period 🤔

I think it will be OJ all the way, changed my opinion on it, they won't want to drastically change the show, All Request Friday will stay as it is, I think OJ gets drive and RIchie gets overnights all week, and they bring a new travel presenter onto drive with OJ (Bobby Prior back on weekdays?)

If Kirsten O'Brien is joining Radio 2 travel on afternoons, is Richie moving either to breakfast or getting his own show?

Ahh. That explains why i've heard Trevor and Sara making references to her joining Radio 2 when's she's been filling in for Richie and Bobbie...

I think it's more likely that OJ to teatime and Richie taking the overnight slot all week is about to happen. Surely if Richie moved back to breakfast to be with Sara, then Ellie would move to the afternoon rather than bringing in another travel presenter?

Richie has been away from presenting the travel for a while as he's been filming Celebrity Apprentice. I wonder if that means he won't return to his travel presenting role now?

It will be OJ TeaTime and Ritchie over nights surely?

That's what I said above 😁

Trevor and Sara made a big deal of him being away from the travel (wishing him luck with what we now now is Celeb Apprentice), but I'm sure he said he'd back.

    • Because even they don’t know the who’s going to be on Going Home 😂
    • He’s had more cover in August than he’s had over his entire duration at the station 😂
    • James Cusack posted that he is doing 22 shows on R1 in Augusts so that means he will do 10 Weekend Breakfast Shows, 8 Going Home Shows, Covering Sam & Danni 1 time, Covering Dean 1 time, so that leaves 2 more shows in August so I would guess he will doing Going Home on Monday 31st August & Covering Jack on the Chart on Friday 28th August as Jack will probably be at R&L Festival
    • Not sure I can see a schedule with Trevor on afternoons and Spoony on drive, and even if so then it'd be easy enough to give Spoony drive now and have someone else cover Trevor. I very much doubt that about Greg, can's see him wanting to leave R1 anytime soon, nor would R1 bosses want him to leave. At minimum he'll want to break Moyles' record but even then can see him on the station a good while longer.
    • I think it’s more likely Spoony was meant for drive? Or and here’s my out there possibility. They want Greg James but he’s not ready to switch yet so a bit more work for Oo Gary davies and goodier 
    • Does anyone actually know why they've stopped updating the schedules?
    • I'm afraid the Sky EPG has become the victim of the BBC's policy of not to update most of the schedules for this week, especially on the Breakfast and Going Home listings! 😆
    • But if it was OJ then surely the announcement would have come by now? Even if there was a delay due to working a plan to relocate production to Salford, that wouldn't take this long. My own guess, based on nothing more than a hunch, is that Trevor was the plan and that's been put on hold for obvious reasons. OJ could then maybe get afternoons...
    • Melvin’s got a radio 2 gig for the forseeable plus am sure I heard he said he was doing something with Ricky too. Ricky did some talksport cover  Nat agree is the big surprise! I’m not sure what she’s doing next as thought she’d have a good shelf life on Radio 1 and thought her and Vicky or Sian Eleri would be the next live lounge hosts.    Dean’s moving to London so that might be a clue but his choice and has something lined up. He did get promoted far too early but almost anyone replacing Scott would have been a downgrade hence was better for Matt and Moll to replace Dean when they knew they could improve a show.    James - nice guy but bit bland and I think his tight link commercial radio style has hindered him in terms of radio 1 and they probably needed Emil in permanently to build him up for daytime cover or future slots in 2/3 years.  Week starting 31st August is their last week and imagine new schedules start the following Monday     
    • I think OJ - unless they’ve someone else in mind. OJ, I’d maybe move over to R2 Drive over R1 for.  
    • Super late to this and had a reply written but didn’t post as got tied up with World Cup and wasn’t feeling too well. I’m surprised and not surprised by some of these changes  Ricky and Melvin felt like they were coming to an end but I feel sad RMC is coming to end. I do wonder what they’ll do next  Nat O Leary was a surprise - I thought she would have been one they’d have held on to. But am I right in thinking she had a job in fashion when she first started at Radio 1? James Cusack - also a surprise - it took so long for him to get a slot.  Dean - feel a bit sorry for him. Feel like he was promoted far too early and didnt get to bed himself in. The afternoon slot was a disaster and I was listening to Scott by then anyway. He’s really came across well on Early Breakfast but I guess there’s no opportunity for him on daytime. The I’m a Celeb appearance didn’t go well either but at least they finally changed the trial voting rules. Do hope he does well wherever he goes next  Swarzy - I can’t comment on   When are all the last shows - the last week of August? I’ll try and tune in if I can.     Really happy for Emil who I think should have had a slot a long time ago. Big potential for drive or breakfast in the future. Mylo and Rosie - I’m happy for too. I’m happy that they’ve managed to find a new permanent slot after being taken off Hits after so long. I’m not sure they are long term R1 but a massive coup for them all the same    
    • Ha no, I did in the context that it appears Mollie is back! Mollie is down to do Future Pop on the 2nd September as well.
    • Matt and Mollie are back on the show titles from 1st September. 
    • They have probably been told off for updating it and exposing the merry go round! 😆
