Annie Mac to leave Radio 1

[James R 10]

I wonder what happened to Jaymo & Andy George?

BBC Radio 1 DJ B.Traits will fill in for Annie Mac while she

is on maternity leave from mid May 2013. B.Traits will cover both of Annie’s

shows on the network: Friday nights 7pm-9pm, and Sunday nights 10pm-midnight.

In New DJs We Trust DJ Monki will backfill for B.Traits on her Monday morning

show 2am-4am.

B.Traits started her Radio 1 career on In New DJs We Trust and moved on to

hosting her own show on BBC Radio 1 every Monday morning from 2am – 4am in May

2012, which is also simulcast on BBC Radio 1Xtra. Monki is currently playing the

first Thursday of every month 9pm-10pm on the In New DJs We Trust show, which

she will continue to do until her last show on Thursday 4 April.

Rhys Hughes, Head of Programmes for BBC Radio 1 and 1xtra says: "I’m

delighted to announce that B.Traits will be taking over the hot seat while Annie

Mac is on maternity leave. Brianna is an exciting, engaging presenter, who has a

deep passion for dance music."

B.Traits says: "I'm really excited to be sitting in for Annie whilst she goes

off to have a baby. I've got some enormous shoes to fill and I'm so grateful to

be given this opportunity! It's going to be an exciting summer!"

Monki says: “I’ve really enjoyed the past two months working on the In New

DJ’S We Trust show and I’m really happy they have asked me back. Can’t wait for

the new challenge!â€

Shes hot, with a great fringe and accent. What greater reason do we need?

I've been listening to B.Traits for the last few weeks and am really looking forward to Friday and what she does with Annie's shows.
