“In addition, further details on a brand-new show on Radio 1 Dance, fronted by Martha, will be announced in due course.”

No mention of the news in RMC’s first half an hour. Surprised they didn’t let Rickie and Melvin announce the news themselves.

Sorry if i've missed anything off the press release or other posts... but if the new presenter showcase is moving to weekend early breakfast, does that mean Mylo & Rosie are on across Monday to Friday?

Thank you. At this point they may as well have took the opportunity to have Charlie & Jerry and M&M on Fridays and completely ditch the 'Friday is the weekend' thing. Only downside would be one less day for Sam & Danni but... they'll probably become lead breakfast cover now Dean's gone.

If Sam and Danni are Greg’s heir then they need this week needs to be their last cover on breakfast and revert to Matt & Moll imo. Dean j could kinda understand safe pair of hands but couldn’t see him as a permanent breakfast presenter.

Yes I assume Sam and Danni will now be lead breakfast cover and Emil will be lead Going Home cover!

Was about to say about Emil. I fully expect Jamie's appearances to be sporadic as ever but with Vick being back full time.. there will less need for constant Going Home cover.

I agree the 4-5am slot will probably continue to be pre-recorded content for Sounds. 
 

I also think it’s safe to say the Weekend Early Breakfast show was been scrapped. 
 

I’m also surprised Going Home hasn’t been changed. Vick & Katie would have been great on mid-mornings. 
 

not so surprised at James leaving unfortunately. He just simply hasn’t been an impact and has zero social media presence which, judging by some of these new appointments, is pretty important to Aled. 

GK Barry replacing M&M on a Thursday is the only confusing one for me…

Or Sian I think I would have been good on live lounge too.

Early weekend breakfast is the new presenter try out slot.

I think we will get an announcement on r2 schedule before the end of the week now. 

The new r1 schedule starts in September and I thought OJ would start the drive time in September these announcements tie it together.

Melvin will get good groove and maybe Rickie taking over from OJ or in a different show with r2 needing these names before they could confirm plans

I can guarantee Rickie is not doing overnights on Radio 2...

As it stands, Trevor is still a Radio 2 presenter, so unless he decides to step down.. there is no permanent role for Melvin on The Good Groove. It is likely Trevor will be away for a while though so presumably the current set up of Spoony on afternoon and Melvin on late evening will remain. I do think Melvin will end up on R2 full time somewhere down the line though.

You can guarantee that can you? Because you’re an insider? None of us can guarantee anything. It’s possible they might keep Rickie and Melvin together on late nights and perhaps Spoony’s going to drive? I wouldn’t bet on that idea but it’s not impossible.

I think it’s safe to assume that Melvin will remain as the main cover for Spoony now going forward too. Radio 2 use a lot of cover that isn’t on the schedule elsewhere.

Melvin’s Instagram post mentions he’s doing it for the next few months anyway (wishing Trevor well, as this doesn’t sound like great news). Whereas Rickie is just teasing something else coming.

It’s a shame to see the end of Rickie, Melvin & Charlie but it’s not totally unsurprising. I’m not sure where else they go as a duo or trio in the current radio landscape. Maybe Kisstory? Like how Bam Bam returned? But I just can’t see anywhere else that suits them together

I'm not an insider, no. Maybe 'guarantee' was the wrong word. I just find it highly unlikely Rickie would suddenly get a R2 presenting gig just because Melvin does cover on the station, that's all I meant. 

Anyway... all these changes and the best news is one of the things that hasn't changed- Greg still at the helm of Radio 1 Breakfast. Hopefully he keeps on going for a while yet.

All very interesting - some of it not so surprising and some very surprising!

I really enjoyed GK Barry last year and really pleased she’s back. But bit confused how it’s working - sounds like they’re trying to find something that works around her schedule. And she needs a good co-host, last year from memory they were Melvin, Vicky, and possibly Nat. Pretty odd for the 1pm slot to have Matt and Mollie only on Monday-Wednesday, then different shows on Thursday and Friday. I don’t think that’s great - radio schedules need routine. 

Perhaps most surprised about Nat - she wasn’t to my taste but thought she had the kind of energy Aled would like. 

Sad for James - less than a year since he got the slot. But I don’t think he’s made an impact and the show sounds quite safe to me and lacks the energy of most shows.  

Happy for Jerry. Suspect Lauren Layfield and Emil will do more deputising on Going Home.

The most shocking thing about this schedule is they’ve not done anything with Going Home, it’s the show’s second BIGGEST show on the station and it’s the only radio show in the *country* that has had more presenters than I’ve had hot dinners!! What is Alex Hayden Jones’s reluctance to change it🤣🤣 I am also somewhat shocked that RMC are splitting up and that James Cusack is leaving, he’s not been there long! I’m also concerned that on the press release it says GK Barry will start her show on 10/09, that’s a Thurs when Matt and Mollie are on so perhaps a typo.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that RMC did not mention this once today, which seems very strange?

They may not have been allowe

    • 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! 😆
