In other changes, Mary Anne Hobbs moves from the weekend breakfast show to weekday mid-mornings and Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie will be at the helm of a brand new Weekend Breakfast Show, moving from weekday afternoons.

There are a number of other schedule changes too. More details coming soon – Hit refresh in a few minutes.
