Vernon is doing his show from BBC Manchester today so they have linked the webcams up to that studio. I don't know why its got a Radio 2 sign up though. Maybe there's a regular R2 show broadcast from there

Webcam 2 has frozen on the last shot of Grimmy's show, there's probably only 1 Webcam in the local studio so it doesn't have any other cams to transfer over to. The person you think looks like Zane is probably Grimmy's (assistant) producer

There's nothing wrong with the Webcams

If you remember when Scott did his Hollyoaks show from Manchester, he used that studio. Oh and yes, I can confirm that is Marc Radcliffe's studio. Marc and Lard also used it on the old R1 show.

I bet the producer(s) are going through them for her

She seems to have her own little text system on hand though ;)

I feel less excited when that's the case though as you've only got a small chance of the DJ reading it out. With Scott and Moyles you know they're reading them constantly.

I bet she is checking on her Mum to see how the babysitting is going.

Speaking of Moyles have you noticed in the last few weeks how 1. he is taking calls and 2. he has been reading more texts and naming who sent it?

Or there just making up text message like local stations do....

I quite like it when they take calls but it sounds unplanned and you get more comedy from the guys......

They'll NEVER have to make up texts. They get so many if they made something up, chances are someone has texted that in anyway.

I suppose it's often that they just don't have time (they've already got a fair amount to think about). I can see your point, but it makes sense when there's such a huge volume of interaction for the other people working on the show to sift through them and find the ones worth using.

(I know for one specialist show, the producer prints out the usable text messages and re-writes them so they're in normal readable English and not text-speak).

Tut tut, putting his feet on a desk(table)! What would your mother say C.D!

Oh wait its changed back

He keeps running off for a fag doesn't he? Can tell as soon as they play 2 songs in a row that Scott ain't there

how can you tell he's not there just because 2 songs are played?

    • 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!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • 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 
    • Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday. 
    • As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
    • Going Home presenters have done the last few years ?
    • Nat and Vicky are being sent to Ibiza this year. They’ll be live on Friday 1st August from 1-4pm.     
    • Since Radio 1 Dance and Anthems have been allowed to broadcast on DAB, do we think they’ll be a proper schedule of shows like on Radio 1 Dance with the morning show and Dance Anthems at drive time. Maybe Lauren Redfern, Tyler Selby, Chrissy Cameron or Matt Hallsworth will be scheduled on named shows like Hits Radio 00s or Capital Anthems rather than the generic ‘Radio 1 Anthems’ show. Obviously it would probably cost more to produce actual shows on the station however.
    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.
