RADIO 1 ANNOUNCE REPLACEMENT FOR PEEL SLOT
Radio 1 will fill the 11pm-1am slot that used to host John Peel's show 
with
a new strand called OneMusic - a new music show with a different 
presenter
each night. The aim is to create a show which doesn't try to replace 
Peel
(that being more or less impossible), but which maintains his passion -
championing diverse, unpredictable and non-commercial new music.

The three presenters of OneMusic will be Huw Stephens (Tuesdays), Ras 
Kwame
(Wednesday) and Rod Da Bank (Thursdays), each bringing an equally 
knowledge
of music, but with a specific focus on slightly different genres of 
music.

Commenting on the new strand, which will kick off on 1 Feb, Radio 1 
boss
Andy Parfitt told reporters: "As a DJ John Peel was unique. Supporting 
new
music and seeking out the unusual was at the heart of what John was 
about.
We have spent a long time debating how best to continue John's work and
believe that by having a series of DJs hosting a selection of shows 
under
the One Music title, we will ensure that his legacy lives on."
