This weekend sees the last of the legend that is Jo Whiley on R1... Jo is set to receive LOADS of celebrity messages, and there will surely be lots of tears.

Don't forget to send in your "Good luck in your new job" messages as she moves on to the unique world of R2.

Grimmy has done her up an ... er.... unique song, which she may play out on air!! Who knows. It's certainly quite... um.... special.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

Can't believe she's leaving! I LOVE listening to her show at weekends- it's a guaranteed quality listen. The final show's on at the moment and it's brilliant. Huw seems a nice enough chap, and I don't mind him but it seems like he could be anyone- there's nothing that makes him distinct. But then Radio 1 seems hell bent on geting rid of talented broadcasters and bringing in a generation of bland so-called 'personalities'. Hmm.

Personally i think its a bit of a shame that more hasnt been made about Jo's departure. For someone who has been at the forefront of radio 1, the actual queen of radio 1, she should have had a much bigger departure/special one off show back on midweek with some live lounge events etc. Would have been great for Cotton to have been given a week off or even just a Friday and Jo come back and cover to say goodbye for a proper celebration rather than slip out the backdoor on a sunday where she was left to do nothing!

Shame on you radio 1!

Agree completely with what Daniel said above - Jo's been on Radio 1 for as long as I can remember and is someone I've grown up listening to, she's easily one of the most influential DJs R1 has ever had. She never really deserved to be shunted off to the weekend afternoon slot in the first place and I agree, she should have had a much bigger send-off than the one she got.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

      Summer on Radio 1

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Summer on Radio 1

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
