JK and Joel are to replace Nemone as hosts of Radio 1's early breakfast show from the autumn.

Nemone, who has been with the station for five years, is leaving in September "to pursue other interests" in radio and TV.

"I've enjoyed five brilliant years at Radio 1 and worked with some great people," she said today. "I'm looking forward to new challenges in Radio and Television... and not having to set my alarm for 2.00am!"

JK and Joel will take up the 4am-7am slot from Monday to Thursday, in addition to their duties as hosts of the Top 40 countdown on Sunday afternoon.

"This is a slot that we intend to make our own," the pair said. "We've got the brilliant mix of new music and we now want to stamp our personality on the show.

"We already get to reveal the official number one every Sunday, so it's amazing that we're now going to be on the station throughout the week as well."

poor nemone... whiley should have done the decent thing and quit.

[fish heads]

Nice to see JK & Joel on daily soon - I enjoy their brand of radio, and although I wont listen live, I'll probably catch up on listen again

[Jono]

I think they'll do well with the students.

[Sidders]

Ha, like students will be up at that time in the morning.

[JB]

You'd be surprised, often they're still up from nights out. Vicky Marsden and Scott Mills used to get lots of student calls and texts.

[Walter Sobchak]

A lot of the listeners at that time of day are drivers of some sort (like me), and I don't think they'll bother, I find JK and Joel annoying to be honest and I think that a lot of others will think the same at that time of day.
I will listen, but I predict not for long.

[Tom Holt]

Dammit, i thought this was about how JK and Joel had been promoted to be dinnerpeople in the BBC canteen.

[DemonHorse]

Ha, like students will be up at that time in the morning.

some pull allnighters at last minute on work set months before.

[rosswd]

no one is up early enough to catch the show and if they were the new take over would make them lay in thier beds for longer or change radio stations

[MK Chris]

That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard, no one is up early enough... If no one was up at that time radio would simply stop till 7 AM.

[rosswd]

dont mean no one i mean not alot of people and not i wouldnt have thought teenagers would be up at 4 in the morning

[kendra k]

i first got hooked on radio1 listening to scott mills at 4gmt

[DemonHorse]

early morning shows also get people on night shifts listening, as evidenced by the regular texts from truckers and security staff etc

[kendra k]

i know when i dj'ed at 4am, i got lots of folks like that calling in. thank god i don't have to dj before 6am now.

[DemonHorse]

and insomniacs, I forgot insomniacs.

[Jono]

And then there's those listening live online from other parts of the world, which might be their daytime.

[DemonHorse]

[rosswd]

[Jono]

all those potential listeners.... that said even crappy radio nottingham has an online listening option now... is this true of all bbc local radio?

Yup. Even my local station, apparently the worst local station around, is online.

[DemonHorse]
