Has anyone seen their interview in the Guardian today, Monday 14th. In it on e of them said they virtually made themselves unemployable at R1 becasue they refused to do any more earlies and wanted Edith's show!

I really wonder what would have happened if Edith had got pregnant earlier or if the reorganisation had been later?

It's true about wanting Edith's show. I had known about this back in August, but didn't want to say anything as it wasn't common knowledge.

I think it's a disappointment it didn't happen, as it was the natural place for them to go next. What is annoying is that we've lost two good DJs for a load of naff celebrity TV personalities, and that was what annoyed me about the schedule changes.

I agree - I mean, Dick and Dom - can it get any worse? I just hope that Greg James gets to present more shows in his career.

I think JK & Joel thought they were still on Radio 1 yesterday, as I heard them say "we're on weekday early mornings.... oh no we're not any more".

I heard them on Virgin Radio yesterday, discussing whether it's 'dancing' (northern pronunciation) or 'dancing' (southern way) on ice, then concluding the southern way was 'posh'. Better than Dick and Dom, but I did change the station because I like to hear music, not DJs rambling on for ages.

kinda ironic they left since they could have taken over from Edith when she gos on maternity leave in the spring,and now theyre stuck on at weekends on Virgin. Some people are just unlucky! :|

ps Edith is on her todd till april while her boyfriend is on tour in the states and she's stuck in London doing her radio one show- how long will she want that sort of situation to continue i wonder.I would be surprised if she returns to a 5 day a week show after having the baby,and she may not return to radio one at all.

Come on can you seriously imagine Edith not coming back to R1 at all?

Unless her boyfriend is a potential millionaire, how on earth would she cope without her salary?

I'd be surprised if she carries on with daytimes..(unless they find her another partner like Colin who could effectively job-share with her) Id imagine she'd go to weekends.

Although Jono if you knew about this in August Id feel quite sorry for Edith...It must be really unsettling to have people wanting her show before shes even left it!

But I also feel for JK and Joel...because I think they were an asset to R1, and it was a shame they felt that they had to leave.

Come on, cut Edith some slack, she's a good presenter and a nice lady. Just because people don't like her show doesn't mean she's bad.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
