Virgin Radio presenters JK and Joel are to leave the rock station less than a year after joining it and will be replaced by Trent FM's Jo Russell.
The broadcaster's chief operating officer, Clive Dickens, said the popular duo were leaving "to do yet more TV".
Russell, one half of Trent FM's Jo & Twiggy breakfast show, will host the weekend mid morning-show as well as some early breakfast programmes.
JK and Joel previously hosted the Sunday afternoon chart show and early breakfast slots on Radio 1. They were hired in 2007 by Virgin Radio's former programme chief, David Lloyd.
Their TV credits include ITV1's Saturday night karaoke show Sing It Back and Children's BBC show Hider In The House
Meanwhile, another Virgin Radio DJ, Robin Burke, is also leaving the company after almost seven years.
