New evening lineup for BBC Radio 1

BBC Radio 1 has unveiled a new evening lineup and confirmed that Dave Pearce will leave the station after 13 years.

The new schedule, which comes into effect in October, will see Kissy Sell Out and Kutski host regular programmes on the station. 1Xtra's MistaJam will host a regular Mixtape show on Saturday nights.

"Radio 1 is here to champion the very best in new music and new DJ talent and I believe that these schedule changes mean we can continue to do this even more effectively," said Radio 1 head of programmes Ben Cooper. "Kissy, Kutski and MistaJam are DJs who are completely passionate about the music they play and the audience they play to. I'm really happy that they will now all have their own regular shows."

The new Friday night lineup in full:

• Pete Tong 7-9pm
• Annie Mac 9-11pm
• Judge Jules 11-1pm
• Kutski 1-3am
• Essential Mix 3-5am
• Annie Nightingale 5-7am

The new Saturday schedule will be:

• Trevor Nelson 7-9pm
• The Radio 1 Rap Show with Tim Westwood & Goldfinger 9pm-1am
• R1's D&B Show 1-3am
• 1Xtra Mixtape with MistaJam 3-5am
• Ras Kwame 5-7am

"Our newest recruits – Heidi Van den Amstel, Jaymo and Andy George – are a fantastic addition to the In New DJs We Trust line-up," continued Cooper. "I'd also like to thank both Dave and Eddie for their commitment to Radio 1 and wish them all the very best for the future."
