Without even having listened to her Julie Ann could be the next presenter of that slot, Radio 1 are desperate for young/new female talent. They seem to deem Jo Whiley and Sara Cox too old and they don't have any one else except; Fearne who isn't great and Annie Mac who's a touring DJ. Not that there's anything wrong with a male dominated schedule, of course.

Next year I enter the wonderful world of student radio. I cannot wait. It would be an absolute dream for this to be me in either one two or three years time. Best of luck to the guys and hope they enjoy every second.

Same here! :) Best of luck to them, and to you Chris!

Heard the last hour or so this morning of Julie Ann. She didnt talk much just played loads of songs

I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but after looking at her winner's page on the Student Radio Awards site it looks as if the show she did on her uni's station was a Surgery type show, so maybe she's best suited for sort of show. http://www.studentradioawards.co.uk/winners/71799924636d

The other winner, Fergus Dufton, sounds really good! He could be one to watch out for. I think his Radio 1 show is on the 31st May. http://www.studentradioawards.co.uk/winners/717929b03e85
