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.

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By onlyME · Posted

      On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones.

      The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf

      Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
