OohErr 171 Report post Posted June 14 (edited) Ben Cooper's got his cheque book out again. Someone called Snoochie Shy (never heard of her) and Jack Saunders (former Radio X mid-mornings). Snoochie on 1Xtra Mondays 1-3am and Jack on Radio 1 Monday-Thursday 11pm-1am, replacing Huw and Radio 1's Residency on Thursdays. Interesting. Wonder what's happening to Huw, he's been at Radio 1 for 19 years and it looks a lot like he's leaving. Also interesting that for the first time in a while they've poached someone directly from commercial radio (without on-air pilots as well). I've heard Jack on Radio X a few times, it's pretty well deserved I think. Never heard of Snoochie though. UPDATE: Huw's been pushed back to just one show a week - BBC Introducing on Sundays 11pm-1am. Not sure where that leaves Phil Taggart - maybe 9-11pm on Sundays? UPDATE UPDATE: Should've just read the press release on the BBC website. http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2018/jack-saunders-snoochie-shy Phil Taggart to Sundays 7-9pm, Rock Show to Sundays 9-11pm, Huw to Sundays 11pm-1am, Residency to Mondays 1-3am. Monki out for the time being. Edited June 14 by OohErr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSR1 3 Report post Posted June 14 Phil’s 7-9 on sundays now. Thats a real shame for Huw, seems like theyre totally rehauling the schedule come September! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darren m 2 Report post Posted June 14 Find it strange though to have a chill out show then have the rock show show after it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graeme 2 Report post Posted June 14 I think it was always odd giving such a heavy rock show 7-10 anyways - I know my other half always turned off when the screaming started!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan18F1 8 Report post Posted June 14 A shame for Huw, he must be on his way out now. But glad that they’ve sorted out the Sunday schedule and Phil Taggart has a slightly more prominent show. Also looking forward to hearing how Jack is, I’ve never heard him before. Also, Monki isn’t actually leaving as it says she’s she’s remaining part of the Dance Family so I presume that whenever any of the Friday Night DJs are off, she’ll cover for them, a bit like what Heidi used to do a couple of years ago?

Tea20 3 Report post Posted Monday at 08:35 PM Looking forward to Jack's show - he was always enthusiastic about introducing listeners to to new bands when he was on X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
