Jo Whiley had a weekday lunchtime show from February 1997. This was originally called "The Jo Whiley Show", but later changed its name to "The Lunchtime Social". This included elements of the evening show, such as tour dates and occasional live 'sessions' at Maida Vale Studios while working within the restrictions of Radio 1's daytime schedule. When Simon Mayo left BBC Radio 1 for BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio 2 in February 2001, Whiley's show was moved to a mid morning slot and regained its original name.
