According to the BBC Archive database the first mention of the Ramones on the show was as follows:
THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST 31/01/78
Bob HARRIS intros rock mag prog. Studio perfs fr Talking Heads & the Fabulous Poodles; Ramones on vt; Rick WAKEMAN & Dusty SPRINGFIELD on film
ITEM 02:ALBUM TRACK: b&w film (c) Filmfinders over tracks "Cretin Hop" & "Rockaway Beach" by the Ramones (10m15s-13m58s)
Part of this was then repeated in a highlights show:
THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST: PICK OF THE YEAR 30/12/78
Anne NIGHTINGALE pres first of two looks back at highlights from the last series of "The Old Grey Whistle Test".
Ramones - "Rockaway Beach" (c) Filmfinders Tx.31/01/78 (11.56-13.57)
There is no mention of any show being broadcast on 03/01/78, only a highlights show on 05/01/78 and a John Martyn In Concert special on 10/01/78.
The first proper OGWT of the year is listed as 17/01/78.
As regards Anne Nightingale, her first few shows were as follows:
THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST 13/12/77
Anne NIGHTINGALE pres rock mag prog with music from Krazy Kat & Meal Ticket in the studio

Bob explains Anne Nightingale will be taking over the fronting of prog in 1st of new series, while Bob will do occasional rep (0m50s-1m41s).
ITEM 01:RAMONES: Band perf "Don't Come Close" & "She's The One" & "Go Mental" (2m04s-8m03s)
So it looks like Anne was an occasional guest presenter until she officially took over in September 1978.
