Greg James (born Greg Milward [http://www.bbc.co.uk/norfolk/content/articles/2007/05/16/feature_greg_james_20070516_feature.shtml BBC Norfolk - Greg James lands Radio 1 show] ] , December 17, 1985 in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire) is an English radio DJ. Having previously had experience at BBC Radio Norfolk and Galaxy in Newcastle, he is now a DJ at BBC Radio 1 in London. He started presenting the Early Breakfast show 4.00-6.30am Monday-Friday from October 15 2007, replacing the previous incumbents of the slot, JK and Joel. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/schedule/oct2007_schedule.shtml] He is also a continuity announcer for Dave TV.

During his three years studying drama at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, he presented several shows on the student union radio station Livewire 1350AM, becoming the station manager in 2006. He also presented several breakfast shows on Future Radio in Norwich during their RSL's before he got his lucky break at BBC Radio 1. He is an alumnus of The Bishop's Stortford High School.

He won the award for "Best Male Presenter" at the Student Radio Awards in November 2005, for which the prize was a 1 hour show on BBC Radio 1. Having impressed bosses at the station, in June 2007 he was asked to present five Friday morning early breakfast shows. Following this he was then asked to present JK and Joel's Early Breakfast Show for a week whilst they were away. He returned for a further two weeks in July and has also stood in for Sara Cox on her weekend afternoon show. He also presented Radio 1's drivetime show for two weeks while Scott Mills filled in for Chris Moyles.

Greg's Early Morning Breakfast Show is well-known for the "Flash Flash" introductory sequence, in which listeners are encouraged to flash their lights (headlights, room lights, table lamps, etc) to the "Flash Flash" tune, which is a sample of In the Mood by Glenn Miller. Subsequently, listeners also call in to say the words "Flash Flash", "Welcome Along", or "Brap Brap" when the tune is played. Callers are currently not involved with the "Flash Flash" tune, as Greg James plays segments of Jo Whiley's and others' broadcasts.
