1Xtra DJ Benji B will take over Mary Anne Hobb’s Thursday overnight slot on Radio 1 from next month, following Mary Anne’s previously reported decision to leave the nation’s favourite. Benji B will leave his 1Xtra weekend show to join Radio 1.

Benji B told CMU: “I’ve loved every minute of my eight years at 1Xtra and am delighted to be given this incredible opportunity. I can’t wait to bring the essence of my Sunday night show and my loyal audience to my new Radio 1 programme”. Radio 1 deputy boss Ben Cooper added: “Benji B’s reputation for finding and supporting new cutting edge music is exemplary, and I’m excited about him being able to put his own mark on the slot by bringing some of the finest cutting edge dub step and experimental electronica to our audiences”.
