Greg James says: \u201cI took some last minute days off for a destination wedding I had to go to and I need to make the time up to be honest so it feels like 30 mins a day over the summer is a good plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Aled Haydn Jones, Head of BBC Radio 1, says: \u201cWe know our younger listeners\u2019 routines change over the summer, so it only makes sense that we\u2019d adjust things too. I\u2019m delighted that Greg will be bringing listeners an extra 30 minutes of Breakfast throughout the summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
