Olivia Jones is doing In: Denamd Uncut this evening. Who will be doing In: Demand now Stu Tolan is moving? The station schedule never works. It always says "Sorry, there has been a problem loading the schedule information. Please try again later."

There is going to be two different versions of In demand a Scottish version and an English version like it was before Stu took over.

In Scotland Greigsy who used to do breakfast on Northsound 1 will be doing it and in England Michael Blades who used to be on the Bauer City 3 - the hits stations will be doing it

Someone oughta tell Bauer that the EPG on Freeview 711 needs an update, it's still (as at 6am) showing Darryl at breakfast and Stu on In: Demand - I'd assume brekky is actually being hosted by one or more sit-in presenters 'til Tom Green gets there...

Jon Jackson doing The Hits breakfast today, then.

Incidentally, ahead of the show there was an ad for the deals site dabbl.co.uk played - and I thought "dabbl? Wasn't that the shortlived Absolute digital sibling?" And indeed, dabbl.co.uk is still registered to Absolute Radio - http://who.is/whois/dabbl.co.uk - and if you look at the footer of dabbl.co.uk you'll see it's owned by Bauer, so they've reopened the old dabbl site to use as a Groupon-style deals service! That's quite the interesting use of an otherwise dormant asset!

I am not sure but Stu might still be on Indemand in England tonight but Greigsy definately starts presenting In demand tonight in Scotland.

From tonight MFR no longer have local programming from 6pm - 10pm as they are starting to air In Demand and Old Skool and Anthems from today.

Also from today Old Skool and Anthems in Scotland will be presented by Grant Thomson instead of Debbie Mac

They have only announced today that they are leaving even though we knew on Friday that Darryl was moving to rock fm and it was announced a few weeks ago Darryl had a new breakfast show but the station wasnt announced.

Hywel and Jamie have posted this on twitter.

Thats strange I take it Grant is doing a weeks trial of it on mfr before it airs across Scotland.

I noticed In demand is on MFR for the first time tonight

Jon Jackson will be on The Hits (3 Network) breakfast until the new boy comes. His first show was good. What made me laugh was that the schedule displayed on the websites and apps was updated during the show this morning with the typo, "Mornign you! Jon Jackson wakes you up with hit music, tweet him @thehitsofficial."

James Hall has also confirmed on Twitter that he is taking over the daytime show permanently, which is a good move. I've listened most days over the last two weeks and he's really suited the format of the show. He presented an impressive evening show on Free Radio, but maybe InDemand would have been putting James in at the deep end. I expect someone different will be taking over overnights again.

In addition, Josh Collins is on the evening show while JJ Thompson is doing the late show Monday-Thursday with Fat returning on Sunday. On City 1, Michael Blades is starting tonight.

It appears that's the case.

Has it been confirmed that InDemand is continuing on City 3 or has that just been assumed?

They've been playing the teaser ads for Greigsy's show on Clyde 1 for a few days now, so this one does seem to be on a wider rollout… that said; a quick glance at Forth 1's site shows they have Michael Blades scheduled in the old Inemand slot, so perhaps Bauer are still tinkering… either that or it's another one of their almost legendary scheduling errors.

Not sure it will be called Inemand anymore, just think it's just a normal evening show now.

Scotland schedules say "The Evening Show with Greigsy", but England just says "Michael Blades".

BC3 isn't taking either of these shows and Josh Collins starts tonight.

And Bauer's schedule's have always been very unreliable, so it wouldn't surprise me if they've made a mistake!

Seems to be that In demand has gone. It had a very quiet ending last night if that was it.

What did you expect?

"That's it from the ratings disaster that was Indemand, coming tomorrow a new show you might actually like".

Nice recreation of a locked thread btw op

Ah, but did anyone like it?

Aside from the annoying promo jingle which never pronounces the sponsor's name correctly (Evans Halshaw, not Hullshaw) it seemed pretty well put together IMO. Whether that lasts is another thing, but for a first impression it sounded good.

The overnight show is currently originating from Key103 and surprisingly, for a network show it's actually not bad!

Is someone at Bauer listening?

Annoyed about that because my holiday this year without giving too much away is in it's transmission area so less chance to hear anything different.

Does anyone know how the text numbers work on the network shows last night Greigsy asked listeners to text 63103 which I assumed was the Manchester number and tonight he asked them to text 61025 which I assume is Glasgow so I take it his show last night came from Manchester
