I don’t think Matt and mollie will last 5 years 

Anyway how is it merit when it’s very much unexplained why more jobs aren’t being filled in the industry by a plurality of voices from different voices. It’s hardly merit if the odds are bias to often hiring white men and there’s less opportunities of marigalised and  minority groups actually getting equal treatment 

I concur just see there’s much more to be done still.

I don’t think more diversity would in any way drive away groups of young people.  Young people as a cohort are more multicultural and diverse these days and they expect that to be reflected in their media, as it is in their popular culture.  Historically Radio 1 will absolutely have denied opportunities to more worthy individuals due to skin colour or gender, as every profession has historically, the aim now must be to eradicate that prejudice, which as I say, Radio 1 is done a better job at than its commercial rivals.

Remember the station is a PSB and that being bit diverse wouldn’t alienate expanding beyond white male doesnt allienate the station isn’t commercial and has a responsiblity to be distinct and actually provide Puvlic service broadcasting not a populist station as you mauthing. It wouldn’t see the station shut but young people deserve a station that changes with a time and looks and sounds like them. I don’t think the issue neccasrily they are going to capital but think the station shouldn’t mind or accept that some would choose capital Oder them that’s about excepting the role of not being a commercial radio station just going for the chunk of the makers the station should be going for informative content that fills the remit of being a state funded public service broadcaster. and actually be willing to reach a new youth audience as there’s an issue is that radio 1 still doesn’t look or sound like young people. Why did you feel that someone like Dotty would be wrong choice?

So I love the idea for early breakfast on Fridays nurturing new talent when it comes to presenters. But I think Radio 1 could go further. 
You need a safe pair of hands in charge of the shows, but that doesn't mean it can't use it as an opportunity to nurture new talent in other ways. 
For example you could trial assistants in production, newsreaders, even social media and digital producers (cough, cough) to work with the programmes. Equally this could apply to the Christmas shows, for instance. 
There are so many people out there wanting a big break in radio and I feel if you're not a presenter it's tougher. I think that this be a great signal that Radio 1 is serious about providing new opportunities outside of just presenters. After all diverse backroom staff and production teams from all walks of life are just as important for a radio station as its hosts...
