Radio 1 to 'shake up' evening lineup

Renowned DJs Steve Lamacq, Pete Tong and Judge Jules could be axed from Radio 1 in a shakeup of its evening schedule.

According to Broadcast, at least three DJs are being pulled from the specialist crew in order to "open up shows to a wider audience without compromising their cutting edge reputation."

Veteran DJ John Peel is said to be "under no threat" from the cull, which will be announced later this week.

The move follows a series of changes to the station's daytime schedule earlier this year.
