No Jo.


Just to end the week with the fact that Jo Whiley is to be replaced on the BBC Radio 1 mid-morning slot by Fearn Cotton from September 21st.
Obviously a bg 'well done' to Fearn Cotton on the new gig, but I have to say I'll miss Jo Whiley on that gig.
I'm a huge fan - no pretentions, no corny 'jocking'...she just got on with the job and was a real communicator on that gig. A very solid performer who knew exactly what to do and how to do it.
Whether you liked her on air features and guests doesn't matter - the fact is (in my opinion), she delivered. Good news is that she will still be on air: weekends from 1-4pm.

Will be interesting to hear how things work in Spetember.
Others news from the past week has Chris Moyles signing for one more year.
