Grimshaw new breakfast host on Radio 1
He is expected to double the amount of music played on the landmark show, and will present the programme single-handedly after station boss Ben Cooper said he wanted to move on from the “zoo” format of Moyles’s show in which his production team played a large part.
Producers are keeping their cards close to their chest about the content of the show, but it will feature an interview with teen pop star Justin Bieber.
