1616: Final local Heart breakfast shows - 2019 - a podcast by David Lloyd

As Global Radio continued to focus each of its national brands on a single programming stream where possible, Friday 24th May 2019 saw the regular presenters of many local Heart breakfast shows across the UK say their farewells. Some of the presenters shifted to drive-time (and several drive presenters had their farewell shows that day too) – but for some breakfast presenters, this was the last day doing what they loved. 

Enjoy here a few snippets from across the UK – and prepare yourself for the one at the end. "I am an accidental presenter. I used to be a carer. I was never supposed to be a radio presenter...I don't want it to be over but it is". 

The London breakfast show goes nationwide with Jamie Theakston and newly appointed Amanda Holden on June 3rd 2019.
