News has come apparent this week, that from September, certain shows and DJ's will be axed. These shows consist of 'Phalice', Phil Taggart and Alice Levine, Edith Bowman and Ally McCrae and Jen Long to name but a few.

Many are displeased with this news. The new music club, presented by Phil Taggart and Alice Levine Monday-Thursday from 10pm-Midnight and is an oppurtunity for new artists to recieve airplay, is one show to be axed as part of the cuts. Although both Phil and Alice have both been awarded their own shows. Ally McCrae and Jen Long, who present a similar show, BBC's Introducing, where new and young acts recieve airplay, have also been axed by the radio station. Another presenter we are sad to see go is Edit Bowman, wife of Editors lead singer Tom Smith, has been axed by Radio 1 and from now on will only present her show on BBC Radio 6.

What are your views on Radio 1's cuts?
