It's all change today at BBC Radio 1 as the widely-publicised schedule changes kick in to place.
Greg James takes over the drivetime show between 4pm and 7pm while Scott Mills will now host the afternoon show between 1pm and 4pm. Other schedule changes can be found here.
However, just to confuse you further, Scott will be on breakfast from Easter Monday for two weeks as Chris Moyles takes a break. Nick Grimshaw will cover for Scott in the afternoon.
BBC Radio 1 has also brought in two n [...]
Unlike previous years of the Sony Radio Awards, there are no nominations for the long-serving DJs at Radio 1. The likes of Scott Mills, Chris Moyles, and Sara Cox have been snubbed while it's the new faces of Radio 1 that have been nominated.
Fearne Cotton is up for 'Best Music Programme' and Mistajam is up for 'Music Broadcaster of the Year'. Gemma Cairney, Radio 1's new weekend breakfast DJ, is up for the 'Music Personality of the Year' award for her 1Xtra show.
Radio 1 Newsbeat is up fo [...]
Scott knows her as Ri Ri, we know her as Rihanna. Whatever you might call the international popstar, she's on The Scott Mills Show today from 5.15pm.
Rihanna will, no doubt, want to talk about headlining BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend on Sunday 24th June.
Also appearing on today's show, the final in the current series of Chris' 24 Years at the Tap End!
Tune in from 4pm to hear the penultimate Scott Mills drivetime show! [...]

From all at Unofficial Mills we would like to wish Scott Mills a Happy Birthday today!
It's often difficult finding photographs of Scott posing on key dates in the diary, but we think this photograph of him with a stack of cheese cake for Beccy's birthday goes down particularly well.
The only negative to this is he doesn't look especially chuffed in this photograph - we do hope he'll be smiling today! [...]
Yesterday BBC News announced it was cutting 140 posts yesterday - with 17 posts being cut from Radio 1 and 1Xtra's news team.
It was announced that the result of the cutbacks will mean that Radio 1 and 1Xtra will no longer have a dedicated news service, apart from at breakfast.
The job losses are not expected to take place until April 2013, but unions have already criticised the move, which they claim is a "severe threat" to the BBC's quality journalism.
Sue Harris from the National Uni [...]

Many users logging on to register for tickets for BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend were left frustrated and some were left disappointed as the website suffered a meltdown on Sunday morning.
At the time of the initial opening time for registration at 11am users were faced with an IP error message before the Seetickets website started to struggle with demand after 10 minutes.
Those that were eventually successful at applying for tickets were left trying for an hour with fans not tweeting their [...]
All of the greats win them.
In 2005 it was Chris Moyles that picked one up. Scott Mills picked one up in 2008 and Beccy won one last year.
So it was long overdue that Comedy Dave from The Chris Moyles Show should be credited with a Loaded LAFTA for his services to comedy.
Today was that day as he picked up the 2011 Loaded LAFTA for funniest radio sidekick.
Dave, who is currently appearing on Dancing On Ice, joined Jimmy Carr, Rich Hall, and Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer as winners at [...]
