Hi! All
I have just been looking at the Radio Times website for Monday 2nd September and during the day starting at 11am they have what is called a Music Robot Randomizer I think it is called, and Fearne Cotton is listed as joining Nick Grimshaw on Breakfast between 6.30am and 11am.

Might Radio 1 be trying to come up with new ways to take on Capital and let people select the music?.

    looking at the info for it, Fearne is on breakfast for a 'special' (comeback?) and Radio 1's Musical reboot has the following blurb..

    "Nine sets of DJs and a randomiser pick who will be on-air next, between Zane, Scott & Chris, Huw, Phil & Alice - they just do not know whose turn it is to be chosen." - it's on between 11 and 7

    Well I suppose she does sound a bit like a robot, but Grimmy's already got Showbot.

    And who is the Chris in the website blurb for 11am Monday? "Zane, Scott and Chris, Huw, Phil and Alice - they're all ready to go. They just don't know when - or if - they will be chosen!"

    Presumably Chris Stark, Scott's co-host.

    I expect she'll be cover for a few months and then binned off probably at the end of the year.

    Having said that Greg is off all next week and they are still using Huw Stephens as cover, so maybe not?

    Coxy signed off today saying she is not back until November and then around Christmas.

    So basically it sounds like she is doing very limited cover work, maybe even covering just Fearne Cotton and not being allowed near any other shows.

    Maybe she's taking a Holiday and covering for Radio 2 afterwards?

    Her contract probably runs up until the end of the year so they won't want her to cover drive a key show.

    Should cover for Mills if he does Breakfast but think Matt Edmonson will be his cover.

    Sara said in an interview that she expected to be leaving Radio 1 once Fearne returns, Fearne has a week/2 off in Nov and obviously Xmas off so Sara covers those and goes.

    I hope her last show on the station is special as she does deserve a good send off
