It's still there! To find out more about your favourite DJ and to access Newsbeat, the Official Chart and music information, click on the tabs at the top of the page and then follow the links.
What's the best browser to use for the new homepage?
We recommend using Internet Explorer (version 7 or above), Firefox, Safari or Chrome.
