From Media Guardian

“Virgin Radio has signed JK and Joel to present a weekend morning show to go up against Radio 1’s Vernon Kay and Jonathan Ross on Radio 2.

The former Radio 1 DJs will join Virgin at the beginning of next year, part of a refreshed weekend line-up under new programme director David Lloyd that also sees the arrival of former LBC presenter Iain Lee.

JK and Joel - real names Jason King and Joel Ross - hosted the Sunday afternoon chart show and the early breakfast slot on Radio 1 until September this year.

They will take over the Saturday and Sunday morning slots on Virgin between 10am and 1pm.”

This is excellent news, the boys will be a refreshing change to the terrible programming we have to put up with on weekend radio.

They obviously weren’t too pleased with their placing on the Radio 1 schedule either, saying; “No longer are we hauling our arses out of bed at 3am looking like crap, instead we are really looking forward to doing weekends.”

And they also hit out at their ex Radio 1 colleague Vernon Kay; “”It’ll be great to go up against our old mate Vernon at 10am. That’s if he can be bothered to turn up - his random game show schedule is demanding don’t you know!”

Are JK and Joel a little bitter at their axe from Radio 1?!
