Big names and big shows have revamped schedule!
From October 8, Trevor Nelson and Tim Westwood will join 1Xtra with new shows! There will also be a series of schedule changes in the weekend and daytime programming.
Trevor Nelson hosts a brand new breakfast show. Trevor is joined by Zena, as the show shifts to an 8-11 am slot. Great music, big entertainment and the best celebrity guests will all be in the mix. Trevor said;
"It makes total sense to be part of 1Xtra. I’ve been at the forefront of black music at Radio 1 and this opportunity was too good for me to pass up. It’s the flagship breakfast show on the BBC’s dedicated black music station. I’m looking forward to being a permanent part of the 1Xtra team."
Tim Westwood presents a new hip hop show exclusive to 1Xtra, Sunday nights 10pm-12midnight. He said;
"1Xtra have made a tremendous contribution to black music over the last five years. I'm very proud and excited to be part of such a great station".
