RADIO 2’s Steve Wright is taking over the station’s Pick of the Pops, with Paul Gambaccini moving to a new Sunday evening show.
Steve, 68, will start the Saturday slot on October 21 and will continue to present his Sunday Love Songs.
He was replaced on his weekday show last September after 23 years by Scott Mills.
He said: “Pick of the Pops is such a legendary show. Gambo brilliantly made it his own over the last seven-and-a-half years – and now it’s my chance to give it a go.”
Paul’s new show will see him rediscover forgotten tracks from the 1950s onwards.
