Radio 1 chart show hosts JK and Joel have taken another step closer to the pop station's breakfast show by taking over the Early Breakfast slot. They will replace Nemone on the 4am - 7am slot from Sep.
Commenting on their new show, JK and Joel told reporters: "This is a slot that we intend to make our own. We've got the brilliant mix of new music and we now want to stamp our personality on the show. We already get to reveal the official number one every Sunday so it's amazing that we're now going to be on the station throughout the week as well."
Radio 1 boss Andy Parfitt added: "JK and Joel are Radio 1 talents. They've got engaging personalities and a real sense of fun. They've done a great job on the new chart show and we felt it was time that our audience got to hear a lot more of them. We are always sad to lose a team member and Nemone has been brilliant in her five years at the station. I've been impressed with her recent work on Radio 5 Live and I wish her all success for the future."
PS - The BBC have announced that the new look Top Of The Pops will launch on 17 Jul on BBC2. More on that tomorrow.
