Jo never worked for me on weekday daytime, or in fact any daytime. I still think she works better as a specialist presenter.
Having said that, I'm not looking forward to Fearne much. She actually isn't a bad presenter in some ways, but her voice has annoyed me consistently since I first came across her on CITV about eight years ago (she's a similar age to me, so why I must have been watching that I have no idea). She sounds like a pre-pubescent boy rather than a grown woman.
I don't dislike Nihal like a lot of other people seem to, and I will miss him a bit at weekends, but (and again, this will put me in the minority) I am not a Greg James fan at all. In a way I am glad he's getting early afternoons though as one of the things that annoys me most about him is his overexposure on other peoples' shows. Now that he's got a decent slot, maybe we won't have to be constantly reminded during the rest of the schedule that he exists. Then again maybe he just likes to spread himself around and it'll continue as ever.
I forgot to check whether Fearne will still be presenting the Chart, so had better check. I'd been back listening to it recently (to see how MJ's tracks were charting) and decided I much prefer solo Reggie to solo Fearne.
