They could have fallen out over anything.
Shame, because I think they were really good friends off the air.
I follow Dave, Dom and Chris on Twitter, as most people here probably do, and the only interaction between them is between Dave and Dom occasionally, and neither of them with Chris.
I could have missed those tweets though.
@hdsport82: Dom and Pippa would be a good start.
The only thing I'm confident of is that Aled won't be a part of this.
It's tough to know exactly what went on they still worked well on air but I think it's been picked up that when watching live streams of the show they didn't exactly interact much off air which lent credability to the rumours.
I agree about Aled he's much more than a producer now plus XFM/Radio X isn't exactly in his wheelhouse music wise so it would be a strange switch but I think he's more likely than Dave but that's not saying much.
Dom and Pippa have been part of the rumours for a while and one is at Global already and one has just left Radio 1 so they seem pretty likely to be part of it.
The other variable (if we assume this is happening) is exactly how much music he is going to want to/be told to play? It is a waste (both of money and talent) to employ him just as another music jock but he is going to have ads to contend with already. Of course he's done commercial radio before but 'his act' has come a long way since whilst commercial radio has become more and more generic and restrictive.
If the lineup is what it is rumoured to be then he's seems to have been the starting point for Radio X's creation (maybe even helped to choose the lineup) so perhaps he's also been given the freedom to do the show he wants.
