We already know who fake moyles is don't we? Isn't it Iain Smith? Or was that fake Dave? I get so confused.

I think that was fake Dave, but they could easily both be him.

Seriously, you're out of control: what are your sources for stating that they don't get on? Why must he be angry? Trust you? From what I can gather you are not an authority on Radio 1 scheduling nor are you on personal terms with any of the DJs. If you are offering an opinion, that's fine, but please don't word it as if you're stating facts unless you are willing to reference your sources.

I'm in two minds about this new schedule. It seems like a suspicious continuation of when they replaced Colin Murray with Nick Grimshaw. Younger presenters, more 'down with the yoof' to replace the older ones. I don't really like Fearne, but anyone is better than Whiley....although I would have preferred Coxy to get that slot. Greg James....I haven't really heard much of him, and what I did hear left me feeling a bit apathetic.

Shame they couldn't replace Mills either :D

Fake Andy Parfitt - The 3.15 fact machine has spoken. "Nihal, it didn't really work on weekends".

I think this is brilliant, and Greg deserves his promotion. Does this mean the end of Chappers and Dave for now as Nihal is available for weekend cover slots.

YYYYIIIIPEEE!!! I can listen to Radio 1 again when I'm at lunch, its been 5 years of waiting but well done Greg look foward to listening to you, bye bye Bowman you have taken the show as far you can alright, down to hell, and what I can make out from all this Twitter stuff she totally gone screwy, I can only laugh and laugh, enjoy your weekends Edith :D.

As for Fearne what the hell, shes good at presenting on a kids show for 8 to 12 years old, but a 10am weekday slot on Radio 1, its taking the piss. Now I am no fan of Sara Cox as mentioned before I dont think too much of her, but as hard as it is for me to say this, I think the same as other people and agree she would have been a better choice, well only just.

But I must say Chris signing just a one year extension does'nt sound good to me, I mean 1 year is'nt very long usually its a 2 or 3 year deal, not 12 months does'nt sound good to me :(

I'm up pretty early and quite liked listening to Greg before Chris :( Jo has been doing the 10am slot for ages! Not a huge fan of Fearne to be honest but i'm sure Chris will like her everyday for the swap over etc.

No, because you are wrong about her. I'm right about Fearne.

I'm currently listening to Huw in for Grimmy in for Sara in for Jo. The comedy-Welsh accent is funny, but i rather like him. Can he have Scott's show?

I find it really hard to imagine Fearne being able to broadcast every day. She's been off her existing shows so many times, and they're only weekends. I can't see it lasting long to be honest, unless she really believes radio is her future.

That's what I keep thinking too. What a mistake.

I was amused with Moyles' comment this morning about Huw being at the very bottom of the pile, as even Grimmy couldn't make it. Bless him!

It's true though, and a sad reflection on the way things work at R1.

Hence saying 'is he not on this week'

I never hear Greg when he's on early breakfast - my radio switches on at half6 in time for the Cheesy song :)
