Early Breakfast

not sure if another cite is needed on the page, but an earlier editor thought that "early breakfast" was an incorrect designation, so here's the sources for that:[1][2]--Duesouthfan (talk) 17:28, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

To answer the IP who says that there can't be two shows with the word breakfast in the title: according to many sources including the Radio 1 website's biography pages of various hosts of that show, it is called the Early Breakfast show: digital spy, the guardian, when Greg James was doing it, insanitygroup's bio of dev, from when he was doing it, bbc news, radiowise, Greg James' bio, bbc radio 1's facebook update status. Chappers and Dave's bio on the radio 1 website says, "Dave started off at Radio 1 working on the overnight show while Chris was presenting Early Breakfast and the pair quickly struck up a friendship." Please link to the source that calls the 4-6:30 am slot an overnight show.--Duesouthfan (talk) 02:02, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

This is all very confusing. Most other radio stations call the slot before breakfast "overnights". I was going by what is the generally used term, not what one station calls it. And as far as I know, the name of her show is Gemma Cairney. 80.111.218.7 (talk) 16:14, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

On the Radio 1 schedule page, most of the shows except for "The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw" just carry the name of the DJ. However, DJs come and go, and at least some of the time slots themselves have names associated with them--early breakfast, breakfast, weekend breakfast, drive time, etc. There is a show from 1-4 am that might be called overnight, but the subject only seems to appear in print when a DJ moves to a different time slot.--Duesouthfan (talk) 16:52, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Confirmation that it's called the Early Breakfast show: at 0:17 in this morning's show, Adele Roberts says, "This is the Early Breakfast show on BBC Radio 1." I don't know why they don't mention it on the schedule page.--Duesouthfan (talk) 12:19, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

The schedule on the BBC website refers to the show as Adele Roberts. 80.111.218.7 (talk) 22:00, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

OK, but it's also the early breakfast show, as Adele Roberts announced on the show itself, which you can listen to right here.--68.114.92.47 (talk) 22:17, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

So Radio 1 has TWO weekday breakfast shows: early and main? 80.111.218.7 (talk) 23:02, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
