Hello all.

Does anyone know what has happened to Vicki Blight ? I used to enjoy her Friday show but now Greg James has gone full time, I haven't heard her since she covered for him in January of this year. I just wanted to know if we might be hearing her on Early breakfast again. Any ideas?

Maybe Vernon will go to Weekday afternoon's, since he has done it before. The only disadvantage will be he might not go on Saturday Mornings which will be a shame................ I think his saturday show is really good.

Does anybody know why Radio 1 had that strange scheme on Early breakfast, where Greg did Monday - Thursday and Vicki did Fridays only - seems a bit strange.

Because Greg officially tookover early breakfast in October. Before then he was just filling the gap between JK and Joel leaving and the schedule getting a shake-up.

Until October they were still working the previous format which was in place to suit JK and Joel. They would work Monday to Thursday and have Fridays off so they could work a fifth day on Sunday for the chart show.

Friday was originally kept back for Fearne and Reggie, before they moved to weekend breakfast, and the show was given to "new talent".

This varied from presenters like Natalie Jamieson and James King to Dick and Dom to student radio presenters.

Does anyone else have the feeling/hope that James and Matt (Gavin and Stacey, NME awards, BBBM etc.) will be joining in Radio 1 somtime soon?

Annie Mac mentioned it, saying she hoped they would but I really hope that they will have something to do with Ediths cover.

Maybe they will start Switch? And Grimmy moves...?

They were GREAT on Switch the other week, anyone else agree?

I would love it too but when they were on SoccerAM last they said that they were leaving presenting behind now to continue with other writing/acting projects in the pipeline.

Yeah but he used to do 6 days and have Friday off. That was when Vicki would cover. I don't know weither this was stopped after October because when Scott last went on holiday and Coxy covered, she did Scott's show and her weekend show for 2 weeks.

Chappers and Dave can never do a regular slot due to their Scott Mills and Chris Moyles commitments.

Chappers is a workaholic - I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing 7 days a week :D

Greg pretty much has Fridays covered now, at least, everyone's always excited about Free For All Friday. You can't really take that away from him now. Not to mention that he doesn't even have to give the number out before the lines are filled to do the Flash! Flash! at 4 AM. He's really gaining on popularity. If I lived there, I'd go on the M1 during that time just to see the "disco" of people flashing their lights in tune to the music. Gosh, I wonder what the police think of it. It would be pretty mad to see people flashing their lights for two minutes at a time then stopping. Not to mention at the same time every single weekday.

what does that really matter to the non-listener though? that's like saying "don't take fearne away from the chart show because she does chart busters that a few people take part in!" not that i want greg to go anywhere, i just don't see how a feature means he should stay where he is :| :)

Anyone can do chart busters, and by the way, they did away with it. No one can do Free For All Friday though, I mean, you have to be someone that can put up with having to hang up on people and carrying on a conversation.

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
