Haha, thats great news. But what an odd time to be starting a show at? Whats the reason for this? At least you've got an extra half hour to warm up now.

[Aled]

The rest of the news:

Radio 1 revamps schedule with even more Moyles!• Chris Moyles gets extra half hour

• Kelly Osbourne joins Radio 1

• Sunday evenings 7pm - midnight becomes the teen zone - New show hosted by Annie Mac, Kelly Osbourne the new host of Radio 1’s Surgery

• Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates will host Radio 1’s Chart Show plus a new audience request show

In further news, more brand new shows are being introduced:

JK and Joel, the current hosts of the early breakfast show and Radio 1’s Chart Show will leave Radio 1 after three and a half years with the station. Trophy Twins will leave Radio 1 after two years with the station.

[Terrier]

Sounds interesting, good for Nihal especially, I've really started to like the guy over the past year or so (and I usually prefer shows with a bit more banter like Moyles and Mills). Good luck to JK and Joel too.

Shame they couldn't add the extra half hour on the end and run up to 10.30 instead of 10 mind you.

JK and Joel, the current hosts of the early breakfast show and Radio 1’s Chart Show will leave Radio 1 after three and a half years with the station.

What does that mean for Joce?

[Aled]

She'll probably produce Greg James

[Adam]

Excellent news for Greg James. He's a really good presenter.

[Adam]

She'll probably produce Greg James

Does that mean, she'll become a f/t producer and no longer be involved with the Chris Moyles Show? Not that she featured often,

[postie]

Great news for moyles but im saddened to hear jk and joel leaving is this cause of the tv career they have embarked on

and plus how the heck is moyles going to cope with getting up even more early lol

[Adam]

i think you find that maybe he'll get a better wage at the end of each month ? ;)

[sinister]

JK & Joel leaving? Wahey, 2 man ure fans gone!!!

Featuring Kissy Sell Out, Mistress De Funk, Kutski and Professor Green & One Samurai

Is it just me or do these sound like names you'd expect the characters to have in a Pokemon cartoon or something like that?

[Mitchell]

They lose JK and Joel but keep Edith Bowman?

No justice in the world.

[Lizzie]

I think thats great news! Although it does mean setting my alarm even earlier in the morning. Sad about JK and Joel. I didn't really listen to them a lot, but when I did I though they were great. Can't wait to hear what new features will come in to the show to fill up that extra half hour....

[Ellie]

Actually, Moyles coming on earlier is better. Thats the time I'd normally wake up.

[Riz]

Ugh, i was hoping he was on till 10.30 rather than starting at 6.30.

Sorry, im not that dedicated, im afraid i will still be staying n bed until i absolutely HAVE to get up!

Great news fro Greg James. Not that i ever hear the early breakfast show, but he's a great DJ. (And really quite fit too...)

[dgellis0907]

excelent news for chris and the team, well done!!
shame though, i will miss the banter between chris, Jk and joel!

[postie]

They lose JK and Joel but keep Edith Bowman?

No justice in the world.
Exactly what i was thinking

[gbm]

Wow!, this is great news, I'll follow everyone else and say that having it on the end would have been better because of me not wanting to wake up at 6:30 but I always listen again anyway - will take me longer though, I hope he keeps with the same number of songs that he had for 3 hours - even more chat :D. not too fussed on jk and joel so that doesnt matter to me, I like the sounds of ferne and reggie doing the chart though :). I think that some jingles will have to be made for dave and the rest of the team just in case moyles isnt in - this'll add to the comedy, either that or 'Hi, its chris moyles here, this is meant to be the beginning of my show but I've evidently slept in a bit too much so I appologise, normal service will be resumed shortly but please enjoy the chris moyles show with any of the rest of the team that are in ... yours sincerly Chris Moyles'. Either way, I cant wait for this extra time - might make it easier for having guests in?, considering they normally have to leave to go to another interview somewhere else so they could be on earlier? if that makes sense.

Basically - I love the idea of more moyles but then again, who (on here) wouldnt?

[Harry_Bullocks]

Great news :) Extra at the beginning or end makes no difference for me, usually crawling up the M6/M74 so it's all good.

Just means i'll need to remember to eject the CD's that bit earlier, Moyles is the only thing I listen to on Radio1. I would like to echo gbm above with the more chat, less music option.

[a3mart]

congrats to moyles

but i am sad jk and joel are going
and also the trophy twins :(

[Ailsa]

Awww man, I'm gutted JK and Joel are going! I set my alarm for 6.30 every morning to listen to the last half an hour of their show! I'm happy that Chris will get an extra half hour, but I'll be sorry to see JK and Joel go. :-(

Good luck to Greg, he's done well for himself.:clap:

[Blinkie]

I will miss JK and Joel, i like them fella's a lot!
I will def be setting my alarm at 6.30am to wake up to the cheesy song (so relaxing!). Ha ha bet Chris loves the change - bet there will be a few mornings of extended cheesy song followed by a record to give him time to get to the studio!!!
I'm happy i get to hear an extra half hour before work though - yay!!

[postie]

is it me or is the sunday chart show a final job for the next to get booted out cause wes went down the same route as jk and joel and he got the chop

if it is we might as well say goodbye to fern and reggie

[Mitchell]

I have no issue with Moyles being on earlier. I hardly ever listen live unless I'm on my way to Uni and always make full use of the Listen Again online feature. Suits me just fine.

if it is we might as well say goodbye to fern and reggie
Fingers crossed.

[Console]

we might as well say goodbye to fern and reggie

Hooray!

Can Sarah Cox be put on the Chart Show next?

[Lurkio]

Bring Back Mark And Lard.


Biggedy Biggedy Bong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ali]

I think thats great news! Although it does mean setting my alarm even earlier in the morning. Sad about JK and Joel. I didn't really listen to them a lot, but when I did I though they were great. Can't wait to hear what new features will come in to the show to fill up that extra half hour....
Same :) and Same :( I'm going to miss Jk and Joel, but i think the new shake up is well over due. Hopefully new talent will break trough from this. I can't wait for the new half an hour! :081:

[Blinkie]

Bring Back Mark And Lard.


Biggedy Biggedy Bong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved them geezers! Radcliffe used to pop down to our folk n boat festival in middlewich - what a laugh he was!

Yeah - mark n lard to come back to radio1!

[BGJ]

Its great news that the show is starting earlier, as I only get to listen until 7:30, so it means that I get to hear a whole hour.......not that I dont listen again when I get home, lol

[Ali]

I've heard every current show on radio 1 at least once, but have NEVER listened to the Trophy Twins. I don;t even know who they are.

[Nic]

Its great news that the show is starting earlier, as I only get to listen until 7:30, so it means that I get to hear a whole hour.......not that I dont listen again when I get home, lol

i only get to listen til about 7:40 so yay for the extra half hour :D i do listen again too anyway hehe.

[Aimee]

oooh and extra half hour - cool :) my mums really happy too cus she leaves for work at half six and she misses out cus she loves the show now she'll be able to hear it lol.
Sad for JK and Joel i liked them two.

[BuBbLeS]

I'll miss jjk n joel dont care much 4 dick n dom ( borrinnngggg) and i think ediths amayzin !

[Nic]

i think edith's amazing too. was gutted when they split her and colin up in the last scheduling changes but now i love his new music show :)

[Manuel]

Hooray!

Can Sarah Cox be put on the Chart Show next?


I'll vote for that. When she starts a link, I rarely make it to her 3rd word before I hit the CD button :081:

[Riz]

Whats all this about now aiming radio 1 to the "teenagers"?

Its a poor move, in my eyes, if its true. Anything that features "teen sunday" is a poor move. I only see it working if they dont make it as patronising as it already sounds.

[Ali]

I liked Radio 1 how it was :( I hate change when it happens. In my opinion the whole black music thing should stay to one extra, hence why it was created. Radio 1's more Indie, Dance, Pop and Chart. The target audience worked well too. I hope radio 1 doesn't dumb down.

it sounds dumb; not only will teenagers not listen if it sounds that patronising but people who aren't teenagers won't listen either.

[Stewielad]

Thats good news for Chris's show. I can see 6.30 - 7 sometimes becoming the Dave , Dom and Carrie show sometimes, when Mr.M overlays.

[Lemon Lyman]

I'm going to miss Vernon's lie in the most. I'm just 30 and Dick and Dom really don't appeal

[Andrew80]

Its fab that Moyles gets more time - esp coming up to xmas I start work earlier!!!!! So will be able to listen - I like JK and Joel - shame they are going!!! You need to come to work earlier aled so that we hear more of u!!!

[Andrew80]

I'm going to miss Vernon's lie in the most. I'm just 30 and Dick and Dom really don't appeal

Dick and Dom belong in the bungalow - dom is hot but!!

[postie]
