Radio 1 plan to use early Fridays for new talent

Radio 1 have announced that they will use the early early slot on Friday mornings to give new presenters a chance to hone and prove their presenting abilities. The 4am-7am show, previously hosted by Reggie Yates and Fearne Cotton, will most likely have a small team of presenters who present on rotation. The first presenter will be Letitia, who isn't entirely new given that she presents the station's Sunday Surgery show. Here's what Radio 1 Head Of Programmes Ben Cooper says about the whole thing: "The early slots have always been a place that DJs could develop their broadcasting skills and have the freedom to experiment. We've seen major stars like Chris Moyles and Scott Mills emerge from these shows and now we have a place dedicated to developing the stars of the future."
