Greg's time on breakfast

[Jono]

Jo Whiley says she longs to be the presenter of Desert Island Discs.

The Radio 1 presenter said she was "annoyed" that current host of the Radio 4 show Kirsty Young landed the slot.

Asked what she'd do if she ever leaves youth station Radio 1, Jo told August's The Word magazine: "What I'd like to do is more in-depth interviews, but there aren't many places to do that sort of thing - I'd love to do Desert Island Discs but Kirsty Young won't ever be giving that up, I was very annoyed when she got that job."

Jo, 44, added: "I don't have a grand plan, I just want to carry on broadcasting."

she would go to 6 music i would have thought when she leaves radio 1

Radio 1, station of youth. So youthful in face that one of their key presenters would equally be as happy on Radio 4. Come on Radio 1, replace her with someone who can bering a fresh new feel to Jo Whiley's slot.

Annie Mac or Fearne Cotton perhaps ?

Annie Mac on her own I used to like. Can't bear her with Grimmy on Switch. If I was going to put anyone in that slot at the moment I think it would be Nihal. Fearne Cotton again isn't bad on her own but has too many TV commitments.

SARA COX

[E*F*4L]

what about Lauren Laverne ?

[brynphillip]

sarah cox deserves her own show. but not fearne she does my head in. annie mac is good but she a mainstream show isnt her thing switch is about as main stream as she gets. annie and grimmy are excellent by the way they work well together, however when switch first started it was aimed at 16 year olds but now it seems to be aimed at 13 year olds which is annoying. however i still enjoy it because of the banter they have. actually give colin his show back and get annie and nick in the 10 till 1 slot

Nihal, are you joking, that man should be banned from Radio 1 for life. he is so annoying, bet his figures are pants too! Edutainment, want a numpty!

They've been quite positive and quite rightly so.

[capes]

he just irritates me, so i dont bother listening to it, a lot of peopl ei have spoken to have said the same thing. He is just so annoying, he does have a good show once in a while, when i catch it, but i find the majority are just useless.

I would love Vernon Kay to have the slot, but surely for someone with Jo's music knowledge the ideal replacement is already on radio 1............Zane Lowe????

You have to remember that Jos show is playlist so it isnt greatly about new music etc whereas Zanes show isnt playlist and is all about new music and artists

[midnight]

What about moving Greg James into it? He deserves a slot that more people can listen to him and would allow radio 1 to bring in someone new and train them up on early breakfast.

[blob]

any ideas of who you would bring in?

[daniel_jp]

Sara Cox deserves her own show during the week. And I think they should bring in Lauren Laverne from 6 music and swap her with Jo if she doesnt go to Radio 4! Send Edith to the weekends in Nihals slot.

Radio 1 is sounding a bit tired during the day - tune in for breakfast, and for my drive home but during the day in the office ill listen to local radio.

[blob]

see i get bored with moyles sometimes....same old used material sometimes.....but i love Jo in the live lounge. Best thing about radio 1 is Mills and Kay.

[DarkAngelMJH]

Vernon could never do it, he has a lot of time off as it is because of TV commitments. They will probably give it to another one best suited. Which Zane definately isn't he doesn't want to be tied down with playlist items and again he does have TV commitments with Gonzo and MTV 2.

I don't know who they would move there but if Sara can't do one show live a week I hope it isn't her.

[Computer]

I like Jo, but if she does go I'm not too bothered who's going to replace her as long as the Live Lounge stays

Best radio feature ever?

I like him.... he's nice and bright and happy all the time, as well as knowing his music really well. I belong to his facebook group too, which is cool.

[me_54m]

Nihal Annoys me so much.

I can see Ferne getting her claws into it only finding she has to go do some TV so there is always someone 'in for' her.

I do think Sara cox and Annie mac are good in that slot though.

[DarkAngelMJH]

I like Nihal too, he's easy to listen to and The Fact Machine is great and cannot be questioned!

[me_54m]

He has his asian network show so cant

[DarkAngelMJH]

He has his asian network show so cant

I know he does, I was just defending him

[capes]

Thank god for that! Sara Cox is good and is filling in for Jo this week so that should be a good listen
