PRESS RELEASE

Radio 1 & 1Xtra Controller, Ben Cooper, today announced changes and brand new signings to the Radio 1 & 1Xtra schedules.

From Monday 2 April Greg James will move to weekdays 4-7pm, swapping places with Scott Mills who also gets a new show, moving to weekdays 1-4pm.

Greg James said: "My dream job just keeps getting better and better. I can’t wait to get going with the new show!"

Brand new signing Jameela Jamil will be joining the station to host the Radio 1 Request Show which will be now broadcast on Sunday’s from 7-9pm.

Jameela Jamil said: "To say I'm excited is a major understatement - being offered the opportunity to join the Radio 1 family is literally a dream come true and I can’t wait to slip on the headphones."

Gemma Cairney will be taking over the weekend breakfast show 7-10am, moving over from sister station, 1Xtra where she has been presenting the afternoon show since January 2011.

Gemma said: "I arrived at 1Xtra just over three years ago a wide eyed puppy & soon became obsessed with all things radio. It will be really emotional, but I'm only moving downstairs to Radio 1 and I can't wait for all the new fun it'll bring."

Edith Bowman moves to a midweek slot, becoming the host of Radio 1’s Review Show on Tuesdays, 9-10pm, where each week she will host a guest panel who will discuss the latest new music releases.

In addition, Danny Howard, 24, from Blackpool, who was discovered through a Radio 1 talent search and opened the Radio 1 Ibiza Weekend in 2011, has landed a brand new show every Saturday 4-7pm, which will be called R1’s Dance Anthems with Danny Howard.

Specialist music strand, In New DJ’s We Trust*, will also get an exciting new line up with DJ’s B-Traits, Mosca, Jordan and Julio Bashmore hosting shows on a four weekly rotation.

There will also be some changes to the 1Xtra schedule. Sarah-Jane Crawford, currently hosting weekends 1-4pm will move to take over the weekday 1-4pm show, and a new addition to the network will be Adele, she’ll take the reins from Sarah-Jane and present the weekend 1-4pm show.

On the changes to the schedule Ben Cooper said: "These are exciting times at Radio 1 & 1Xtra. The latest changes are about attracting even more young listeners by bringing in new and fresh talent to the stations. At the end of last year we announced changes to the specialist music line-up, so I’m really looking forward to hearing the new line up in full when we launch in April."

The new schedule will come into effect from Monday 2 April 2012.

Why has Scott moved - I don't get it - he's been in that slot for years - they wouldn't move molyes so why they moving Scott ?

[Ant L]

Ohh, never expected this. I wonder how Scott will feel about basically being demoted...

[Jono]

It will freshen things up and I'm delighted to hear Scott at work in the office. I guess it's all part of the big masterplan from Ben Cooper and I suppose it's better than how Bannister dealt with things. It's certainly the end of an era though - waking up with Moyles, going home with Mills.

[whatthefrack]

This makes me sad. Scott has basically been demoted. It might shake things up, but this is still a massive slap in the face to Scott.

[Jono]

Aw come on it's the biggest radio station in the world and after at least 8 he's still going to be in the afternoons! Pretty good going I'd say. It's going to be a new challenge for him and hopefully will allow him to branch out into new projects too.

[whatthefrack]

Okay, but why are they moving Scott and not moving Moyles? Why not shake everything up?

[Harkinson]

At least he hasn't been binned off.. He's been hinting that he might have been leaving for a while..

Certainly wasn't expecting this news when I came home. Not sure this is necessarily a bad thing for Scott but I guess Mr Cooper has had enough of Tom Deacon.

[Harkinson]

I liked Tom Deacon's show.. Though I think I'd prefer a Request Show seeing as Reggie's one stopped..

[Ant L]

Glad to see Dance Anthems back. I've always thought they needed a more mainstream dance show, particularly on a Saturday.

Shame the 1Xtra simulcast is continuing though.

[MrDoovdeHaxorz]

Okay, but why are they moving Scott and not moving Moyles? Why not shake everything up?

Meh, Moyles is probably gonna be Breakfast DJ til he goes, whether jumping or shoved.

[Tyler1994]

Actually quite sad and effected by this in an odd way. Drive always seemed the right place for Scott as the perfect combo with moyles on the breakfast show. Will be interesting to look at his tweets and what he portrays in them.

I did sense a bit of sarcasm in his tweet last night.

[Ant L]

I wonder what this means for breakfast cover when Chris is on holiday. Could be their chance to trial Greg at breakfast?

[DC]

it makes no difference to me with scott moving, i'll still get to hear him and at least he is still on radio 1. i am delighted radio 1 has shown some balls and got a young dance dj in and revived dance anthems. since dave pearce left it's been missed. just as long as they actually play 'dance anthems' like dave pearce did all the way from the early 90's to today, and not 3 hours of fucking dubstep which is urban not dance.

the only problem is that they should of left the request show where it was and put dance anthems on a sunday night again. but haha! so much for 'switch'.

[Tom.]

Though I think I'd prefer a Request Show seeing as Reggie's one stopped..

Err... the request show will be Sundays after the chart...

Could this be the reason why Greg has stopped doing handovers with Scott, who seems quite angry about this re:

I love Radio1 / Might move to Australia I love it there

Also will Beccy and TOTDS move with him? I'm not so sure... and IOBF RFTW and The wonder years will finish...

[Harkinson]

The Request Show used to be on Saturdays with Reggie between 4-7pm. It was stopped suddenly a few weeks before Christmas but they still have a "Request Hour" between 5-6pm.

[Tom.]

Some of these changes seem rather pragmatic rather than constructive for the station, which is worrying...

[Tyler1994]

Scott's tweets from last night say it all for me really. Clearly f*cked off.

[Tom.]

Tom Deacon appears to think he still works at Radio 1...

Yay welcome to the <s>@</s>BBCR1 family,my new sisters <s>@</s>jameelajamil <s>@</s>gemcairn <s>#</s>FunTimesAhead

err...

[abertom]

Wonder if he was told not to come in yesterday... Assume Grimmy will be cover for Scott

[abertom]

Wonder if he was told not to come in yesterday... Assume Grimmy will be cover for Greg and Dev cover for Scott

[Jono]

Tom Deacon appears to think he still works at Radio 1...

err...

He might well do so - there are still slots in the schedule.
