BBC Radio 1's Mark Chapman has secured a regular spot on BBC Radio 5 Live as host of a new Monday evening show.

Starting on February 8, Chapman's new programme will include discussion about the latest sports news, along with football commentary and regular features.

Running from 7pm to 10.30pm, the weekly show will also carry topical football debate from The Monday Night Club and the 5 Live Football League segment with contributions from Mark Clemmit.

Chapman has been a regular voice on 5 Live in the past, including stand-in slots on football phone-ins 606 and 5 Live Sport. He joins 5 Live after ten years as a sports reporter on BBC Radio 1, coupled with various TV appearances on BBC One's Final Score.

"I'm excited and honoured to be joining the biggest sports radio station in the land and can't wait to get started," said Chapman.

Radio 5 Live Controller Adrian Van Klaveren added: "Mark's already well-known on 5 Live through the times he's presented 606 and 5 Live Sport. He'll be a great addition to the 5 Live sport lineup."

Earlier in the week, Chapman was also confirmed as presenter for the London and South East edition of the BBC's new Monday night Football League show Late Kick Off.

Sounds like Chappers is going to busy on Monday nights then 5Live until 10:30pm and BBC1 an hour later. Are both live? A live TV show usually requires a few hours preparation before the show.

Chappers 5 Live show will be live as some Monday nights it will feature live EPL matches. His show on BBC 1 won't be live I don't think as the north west host of the show Tony Livesey show on 5 Live is on at the same time as Late Kick Off

Great news Mark. Wish you all the best. Life will be so much more dignified. No more dressing up as a frog for you...

Your last tweet made me laugh muchly incidentally.:

'Have just discovered that the best of fleetwood mac is really good to run to! Is it any wonder I am not on radio 1 anymore?!'

'To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity'.

I can only assume it was in the pipeline for a while as he's replacing Arlo White.

This was not in the pipeline before he left Scott's show as Arlo White was not offered his new job in Seattle until after Christmas. Anyway been good to hear him this week good debut Monday night show. He was also on Tueday Night filling in for Mark Pougatch and is on tonight again filling in for Ellie Oldroyd

He's got a good gig going on at Five Live. A regular slot, first choice fill in, on top of that fill in work on BBC TV and regular work on ESPN. His career is going from strength to strength at the moment, keep it up Chappers.

A bit of an update of Chappers Five Live career. He seems to be impressing a lot of people recently. He will be one of two main anchors for the World Cup but perhaps mos impressively he will present Five Live's coverage of The Champions League Final, a huge gig and the first time Five Live's Champions League coverage won't be hosted by Mike Ingham in a long time. These two jobs confirm that Chappers isn't just the Monday night man any more he is one of their senior football presenters. Well done Chopper.

Big well done. As much as people may hate what I am going to say, his career has gone from strength to strength since leaving Radio 1. Good on him

Undoubtedly, I said for the last year or so of him being on Scott's show, he is far too good simply to be Scott Mills' sidekick and read Newsbeat Sport. His quich rise up the Five Live ranks has proved this. Comedy Dave also did a good job on Five Live the other night, suggesting to me he's a more than capable presenter.

      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.

      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.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
