It has been confirmed that Jo Whiley will be leaving radio 1 after 17 years in April and moving to radio 2. Huw Stephens will be taking over her weekend show. Personally i think this is good news as i don't particularly like her style of broadcasting.

At last. Another change which will be no loss to R1..... Never used to like Whiley, so boring, always turn her off at weekend.

She's been doing shows on Thursday nights on Radio 2 for a while, so I think this was an inevitable switch.

I like Whiley - I know I'm in the minority on here, but I've always liked her.

It's hard to say if I liked or disliked her. But I missed her when Cotton took her place. Please get that woman off the radio.

But Jo is an unobtrusive and harmless soul. Radio 2 might well suit her better. All the best to her.

The trained, shaved Munki does make a ruddy good point....

Neither can touch Sazzle Cox, mind.

Sara Cox is probably the greatest female DJ though

I have no opinion on this really.

So have a donkey on a boat.

Jo Whiley is superb. It took me ages to warm to her, but for the couple of years prior to her being replaced by Fearne I really enjoyed her show. On the occasions I have heard her at the weekends she has been very entertaining as well.

An excellent DJ and broadcaster.

Mixed feeling really, I wasn't a fan of her's as she came across smug however she's 10000 times better than Cotton

Notice no one has mentioned about Radcliffe & Maconie's move to 6 Music (it's WAS on the same article on my phone), in some ways that's an excellent move, they get better music to play & both are excellent broadcasters, 6 Music is getting better & better IMO :)
