Radio 1 today revealed exciting changes to its weekend schedule that will see new shows and new talent taking over.

The changes, which come into effect from September, see Colin Murray and Edith Bowman gaining a new Sunday show and The Dreem Teem’s Spoony, taking over both Saturday and Sunday breakfast. The new weekend line up will be as follows:

Saturdays

7.00-10.00am Spoony
10.00-1.00pm Colin & Edith
1.00-3.00pm Nemone
3.00-5.00pm Trevor Nelson
5.00-7.00pm Judge Jules
7.00-9.00pm Seb Fontaine
9.00-midnight R1 Rap Show

Sundays

7.00-10.00am Spoony
10.00-1.00pm Colin & Edith
1.00-3.00pm Nemone
3.00-4.00pm Backstage
4.00-7.00pm The Official Chart
7.00pm-9.00pm Dance Anthems
9.00-11.00pm Sunday Surgery

Commenting on their new show, Colin Murray said: "I'm really chuffed that Radio 1 has given Edith and I this vote of confidence so early in our partnership. Myself and hollow legs Bowman are looking forward to working as part of a dedicated weekend team."

Spoony added: "I can’t wait to get stuck into the new shows. I am gonna blow the opposition out of the water, trust me."

Andy Parfitt, Controller Radio 1, said: "These new weekend shows are going to be fantastic. Colin, Edith and Spoony are all hugely popular with our listeners so extending their shows across the weekend was the right decision to make. Weekends on Radio 1 are going to be hard to beat."

In addition to these changes there will also be some exciting new hosts of Backstage announced in the coming weeks. These new signings will be the final piece in the jigsaw of a new look weekend line up that will have something for all young fans of new music everywhere.

Their show ain't bad. Bet the rest of the Dreem Teem are well chuffed at being axed, presumably they will still have their Sunday night graveyard slot though.

i never listen to weekend radio and these changes aren't likely to change that

I'd only listen to weekend radio if I was having a lie in and had forgotten to turn the radio alarm off. Once the Dreem Teem started, I'd be up and out of bed in seconds so I could turn it off.
Wonder if the new line up will make me lazier, or get me out of bed faster.

having listened to dreem team about twice, they mostly stick rigidly to the playlist, just picking out the r n b and dancey songs, which of course makes up 90% of said playlist usually.

Yes Colin and Edith are great. Only a matter of time before radio one put them on breakfast...

Does that means that Murray loses out to Zane Lowe in the evenings?

Colin Murray, who has fronted the slots since January will now focus on his Saturday morning show (10am-1pm) which he co-hosts with Edith Bowman.

Zane will take over from July on a Tuesday to thursday evening.
