Ok but what I mean is why keep it a secret, and only announce with just 4 days left.

I agree. You'd have thought Chappers would deserve a bit of a build up, but saying that he strikes me as the type who wouldn't want a fuss to be made.

It has'nt even been announced yet, was'nt mentioned on the show today and Becky has'nt referred to it on twitter again. I really can't see they can just give Chappers a 4 day send off, it just would'nt be right. Also I know Chappers does his show on ESPN on a Sunday night and has this new quiz show starting on ESPN and some occassional work on 5 Live but would that be enough to consider packing a steady Mon-Fri job in at Radio 1?

I highly doubt it will stop Scott being on Radio 1 Alan, he will just present some mroe shows on his own or get someone else to join him. Fraser would be a good option ;)

not sure about scott on his own :| he needs a bit of a team like moyles.

i'm gonna miss chappers on the show :(

I hope Scott and Beccy don't leave Radio 1

I interviewd Scott 2 weeks ago and he told me that he thinks he could still do another few years at Radio 1. So I have a feeling that Scott wont be leaving Radio 1 anytime soon. After all he hasn't done anything to annoy Andy Parfit and the team so don't see them getting rid of him, remember Andy Parfit has been with R1 through all of Scott's R1 carreer. 8)8););)

RYAN :D

It's not very often at Radio 1 you get a send-off anyway. For example, Colin Murray. I don't think he'd want a fuss - they never celebrate his birthday.

This is true, with the exception of Moyles of course.

I think you'll find it's more than just Scott's show.

You mean you think he's leaving the station all together and not just Scott's show? Any chance of him filling for Carrie then leaving when Carrie returns?

So i missed/ am missing this evenings show, but im guessing his departure has been officially announced. Its a shame i wont get a chance to listen to the guys doing mornings, so for me apart from the podcasts its the end of chappers :(. He's gonna be hard to replace.

Sorry if for any spelling mistakes, I'm dyspraxic.

Chappers has been on this show for 6 years and they can't even tell the regular audience about his departure, instead it will be left to do on a cover show. That is bad.

I think people need to calm a little. If someone leaves your work place to explore bigger and better things, do you berate them for it? No, you wish them luck

take control

Has anyone berated Chappers. I think it's been pretty universal love coming in for Chappers. We're mounring the loss of him obviously, we'll miss him, but not berating him.

doesnt the breakfast show have a bigger audience?

Yes but they aren't Scott's (Chappers') audience, so why should the news be broken to them?

If your comment was directed at me John, I wasn't berating him. I just feel that the team don't think anyone will be bothered that he's leaving when in fact we are. The audience deserve to know in order for his time on the show to be appreciated.

    • 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.
