Do Radio X need some more presenters? Thought Phil Clifton would just cover Vernon and and Dan O'C but actually he's covering Johnny Vaughan as well. I'd have got someone relatively big name

To be fair at a guess the plan originally would have been to have Jon Holmes cover it, however with him leaving Radio X that isn't an option.
I guess it's unusual Global didn't put him on immediate Garden leave so at least we have some final shows to enjoy before he disappears off to a station with less coverage than Radio X.
How often do presenters switch to a competitor and start their new show the day after their last show on the old station?
Jon's a big loss to Radio X do you think they'll replace him with a personality led DJ who could also cover weekdays or will we just end up with some bland weekend breakfast DJ just name checking the songs?
Best of Moyles can't happen as he's already doing that Friday and Monday next weekend.
With Johnny and Chris off on holidays they are very short on presenters. Since they started in Sep two presenters have left Camfield and now Holmes but no one bought in.
I suppose they could start VT more shows (overnights?) and merge the 1am and 4am shows like they did with weekends to replace Camfield.
I suspect they completely blew their budget on Moyles, Johnny, Vernon and Ricky so probably can't attract any more talent so the rest of the schedule will be left with Global robot jocks.
Radio X has potential but the next schedule change could be key a national stage is more than just breakfast and drive.
A loss to Radio X
This is where I think Jon is brillaint with his in jokes that you have to read between the lines for.
Wasn't that just Jon's team winding Ross up?
Email sounded genuine to me and exactly the sort of thing Global management do, ban all mention of presenters leaving so they just disappear without trace.
Interested what the schedule says for next Sat breakfast. Although not sure I fully trust it as Jo Good said earlier she's on all 4 days at Easter yet no sign of her in Friday's schedule.
Great opportunity for Virgin to nick some X listeners with Moyles off as they launch.
I'd personally find a slot for Andy Bush or Geoff Lloyd, as they'd add some personality and have the experience to cover Moyles or Johnny. Think X is on its way up whilst Absolute likely to lose listeners to Virgin so on the opposite trajectory, so X could appeal to some Abs names and jump ship.
Have they still not sorted a replacement even a temporary one?
He's just played a montage of "goodbye" leaving speeches including part of the famous one made by DLT when he quit Radio 1 live on air back in 1993!
I don't know how much of the music Jon chose but it was obvious he chose the last two.
Jon Holmes has been a great listen and I'll listen to as much as I can of tomorrow's show.
Not surprising, and we’d sort of assumed that given Vernon is the only other DJ to have covered for Moyles outside of Bank Holidays.
Normally the Drivetime DJ would cover Breakfast, but given Moyle’s frosty relationship with Johnny Vaughan I suspect that he agreed with management that Vernon would be his cover, not Vaughan.
To be fair to Global, they've been brilliant with this. Jon also took the mickey out of Ian Camfield disappearing...
I'd guess the time changes were due to the clocks going forward on Sunday morning.:)
I suspect Radio X management let Jon Holms get away with these comments because he’s not in a prime slot.
Chris Moyles doesn’t really acknowledge Johnny Vaughan anymore apart from the odd comment, it’s almost as if Radio X management have told their flagship names to ‘play nice’.
It would have been quite funny to have all the DJs hating each other – reminds me of the Howard Stern, Don Imus and Soupy Sales days on WNBC in the mid-80s where they all hated each other and made no secret of it. :D:D:D:D
It doesn't happen on other global stations when the clock goes forward or back...?
