When Radio 1 first switched to the 3 day weekend I remember Maya spending the opening link on one of the first shows complaining about how tired she was after getting up for the show - which started at 10am. On a Friday. Not hugely relatable content on the office radio.
Agree that Molly has been a good addition to the station. The initial plan was to try Matt with a few co-hosts rotating but I only think one other host was tried before she came back and that was that.
