BBC Radio 1 announced today that the station's 4am Friday show would become a breeding ground for new and emerging talent.
The station plans to have presenters fronting the three hour show on a rotational basis, beginning with Radio 1 Surgery host Letitia this Friday.
Previous Friday early breakfast hosts Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates will now concentrate on the weekend breakfast 7-10am show they were moved to in September.
Ben Cooper, head of programmes, Radio 1, said: "The early slots have always been a place that DJs could develop their broadcasting skills and have the freedom to experiment.
"We've seen major stars like Chris Moyles and Scott Mills emerge from these shows and now we have a place dedicated to developing the stars of the future."
