Andrew Marr to host Sunday mornings on Classic FM

From this Sunday, Andrew Marr is joining Classic FM to present a new programme between 10am and 1pm.

In a change to his usual world of news and politics, Andrew will bring his passion for classical music to his new three hour programme on the station.

He will present his new Classic FM show while continuing with his weekday political programme on LBC, Tonight with Andrew Marr, which airs Monday to Thursday, 6pm to 7pm.

Andrew said: “I am thrilled to be joining Classic FM, and rather pleased too to be back on-air on a Sunday morning. As a long-time listener and lifelong music lover, I will be sharing my particular favourites and looking forward to building a relationship with one of the most loyal and diverse audiences in the country.”

Philip Noyce, Classic FM’s Managing Editor, added: “Andrew is an outstanding broadcaster and communicator who shares our vision to present the greatest classical music in a way that anyone and everyone can appreciate.

“Now an established part of the Global family through his agenda-setting programme on LBC and Global Player, we are thrilled to welcome him to Classic FM and know that our listeners will thoroughly enjoy hearing him every Sunday.”
