kyle_y 10 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Westwood didn't hold back on Thursdays show in expressing how he felt, was great to listen to. DLT with self-depreciating humour. The writing was on the wall and has been for a long time. It's pretty clear Ben Cooper is a Charlie Sloth fan and has been grooming him for bigger things. There were a couple weeks in 2011 where Sloth was on 1Xtra for, literally, 12 hours in 24. He's pretty much a young Tim Westwood in terms of broadcasting and does a decent job when he regularly covers for TW, so the news comes as no massive surprise. It's a genuine shame though, I'll miss Tim.Also, having a look at the new schedule posted above it seems an awful lot of presenters are being culled, most notably Ronnie Herel and former drivetime hosts Ace & Vis.

MrDoovdeHaxorz 11 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Is there a slot for Westwood on 6Music or something? or possibly even 4extra with the more comedic angle some of his shows have taken at times.

He'll continue to do his Saturday night simulcast show on R1 and 1Xtra anyway, and a new Sunday night show.What did Westwood say on his show!!He was quite clearly upset and shocked by the news but kept the lightheartedness flowing. During the first two hours of the show he sounded quite sombre compared to his usual self. It's worth listening back to the last hour of the show on the iPlayer to hear exactly what he said though, it's not so easy to put into words.http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/b01hr9s6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
