Posted August 20, 200816 yr New Radio One shows for Grimshaw and Nihal 10:57 | Wednesday August 20, 2008 By Robert Ashton BBC Radio One is making changes to the station’s weekend schedule. From September, Nihal will present the Saturday and Sunday afternoon show (1-4pm) while Nick Grimshaw takes on the weekend breakfast show (Saturday and Sunday 7-10am). Nihal says, “I've been given another amazing opportunity to speak to a whole new audience whilst hoping that the breakfast listeners come and check me out in the afternoons too. One problem is that I'm going to get flak about the football live while I'm on air." Grimshaw adds, “This is a great opportunity. I am really excited. I’ve always loved breakfast radio so it will be great to give the Radio 1 listeners my own weekend wake-up.” Sara Cox and Edith Bowman both return to Radio One in September, following maternity leave. Cox will cover Jo Whiley’s show (Monday-Friday 10am-1pm) during Whiley’s maternity leave and from the new year host Sunday mornings (10am-1pm). Bowman presents the Sunday morning show in September and October and returns to her regular weekday slot (Mon-Fri 1pm-4pm) in November. Chappers and Dave will host Sunday mornings in November and December. Bowman says, “What a great return to Radio 1 to be sandwiched in between Grimmy and Nihal for a couple of months.” Dick and Dom who have hosted Sundays (10am-1pm) for the past year will leave the station in September to pursue other projects. Head of programmes Ben Cooper says, “Nihal and Nick Grimshaw have already proved themselves in their current slots and I’m really excited about what they can achieve with their new shows. It’ll be great to have Sara and Edith back in the Radio One family.” =================== Nothing about the chart show :cry:
August 20, 200816 yr Sara Cox and Edith Bowman both return to Radio One in September, following maternity leave. Cox will cover Jo Whiley’s show (Monday-Friday 10am-1pm) during Whiley’s maternity leave and from the new year host Sunday mornings (10am-1pm). I love how one person returning from maternity leave is to replace one that's going on it.
August 20, 200816 yr Thank GOD Dick and Dom have left. Nick Grimshaw besides being totally heavenly is also ace so I'm glad about him :D And Nihal is great too. This is their best line-up in ages and ages.
August 20, 200816 yr I wish Fearne and Reggie would leave. Without Dick and Dom they are officially the cheesiest DJs at radio 1.
August 20, 200816 yr Can't stand Nick Grimshaw and Nihal is the worst DJ ever (except from Reggie from the chart show.) Glad that sarah cox is finally coming back and Edith too even though she hasent been gone all that long.
August 20, 200816 yr Nick Grimshaw's 4am show is surprisingly... lively considering how late/early it is. I listen to it when i have Insomnia. Dick and Dom are a bit turd though.
August 20, 200816 yr That list of djs is completely abysmal. It's no wonder I haven't listened to Radio 1 in over a year now. :puke:
August 20, 200816 yr GET IT :wub: Sara's is the only Radio 1 show I bother with. She is an absolute legend. Makes me LOL too much. I was being random and send her text like "You have a wonderful mind" and she read it out :heehee: Grimmy is amazing too obv.
August 22, 200816 yr Dick and Dom are a bit turd though. I agree - I can't understand why they got rid of JK and Joel and kept them. :blink:
