Aled Haydn Jones, Head of BBC Radio 1, is shuffling his daytime pack - in moves not without risk.
Annie Mac, 42, (Anne MacManus, Wesley College, Dublin and Queen's, Belfast) leaves the network after 17 years at the microphone. Her current slot, 6-8pm Mondays to Thursdays, goes to Clara Amfo, currently in the more prestigious 1030 to 1pm Mondays to Thursdays, which includes Radio 1's Live Lounge.
Clara, 36 (Holy Cross, New Malden and St Mary's University College) has been with the Live Lounge since May 2015; and the BBC has invested in her on a number of tv music shows and Strictly. In her place come the zoo team of Rickie, Melvin and Charlie.
Rickie Haywood-Williams, 40 (Brit School, Croydon and University of Bedfordshire), Melvin Odoom, 40 (Aylward Secondary, Edmonton and University of Bedfordshire) and Charlie Hedges 36, (BA Journalism Harlow College) made their names at Kiss FM, and moved to Radio 1 in 2019.
