From a leading industry source:

- This IS Genuine.


JK and Joel are one step closer to the weekday mainstream lineup on Radio 1, after the station announced a series of changes to its schedule from September.

Murray has been moved from afternoons to weekday evenings. Edith Bowman will continue to present weekday afternoons between 1 and 4pm.

However, we've been told that this is in fact an intermediary step which will eventually see JK and Joel, currently presenting early breakfast and the chart show, being promoted to weekday afternoons.

Colin Murray will present a new music show which will include regular documentaries, between 10pm and midnight from Monday to Thursday, ending Murray's three year partnership at the station with Edith Bowman.

A senior source at Radio 1 told us back in January that Murray and Bowman would be separated, and that the latter would replace Jo Whiley on weekday mid-mornings in the following 12 months, at which point JK and Joel would move to weekday afternoons. The pair, who left Key 103's breakfast show to join Radio 1, already deputise for Colin and Edith.

The new schedules include the addition of several specialist programmes. In New Music We Trust is a new, one hour specialist programme broadcasting at 9pm, Monday to Thursday. Although Lamacq Live has been axed, Steve Lamacq will continue to broadcast on the station, presenting Monday's In New Music We Trust programme.

The schedules changes will begin from Monday 25th September.

that would be awsome ide listen to radio 1 all day then all we need is someone for whileys spot

[Sidders]

Where is Jo going then? 6 Music?

[RussT]

Radio Luxembourg.

[Quincy]

skegness hospital radio

[RussT]

Atlantic 252.

[MC]

Sounds like that will definitely happen to me.

Jo to 6 Music is a dead cert I think.

[David]

But she can only go to 6music if there were a space.

Someone suggested somewhere to swap Jo Whiley and Vic McGlynn from 6 Music around.

So what will make Radio 1 stand out? As much as people slag Jo WHiley off her show is different from all the other daytime shows and brings different listeners in.

I just hope they arent going in the direction of having Edith, JK & Joel and Mills on daytimes - as in my opinion i see all of those shows as being pretty similar and they have mostly made their names from Radio 1 and therefore seem to just output what all the bigwigs want them to rather than what they believe is good radio and maybe gives them a sense of identity on air. As long as the bosses are happy and they collect their pay cheques it seems to be that they aren't bothered.

whats this leading industry source? why can't you say?
i believe nothing till radio 1 says it

its from a Radio Online Magazine.
Cant remember the name though-they were the ones that broke the news of the Colin & Edith split a couple of months in advance.

[littlechris]

this is all rubbish.

Well not all of it, but many parts, especially the "january" split thought...

Just a lucky guess i suppose

F**k off!!! That slot has Annie Mac's name written all over it. If JK & Joel do move to afternoons, then no doubt Fearn & Geggie will do their show 5 days a week, or Radio 1 will get another rubbish local radio DJ i.e. Wes *shudders*.
