BBC Asian Network is introducing a new breakfast show with Adil Ray, and "beefing up" its news and discussion output.
The Adil Ray Show moves to 7-10am before handing over to Nikki Bedi, whose programme features entertainment and the arts from 10am to 12:30pm.
A new early breakfast show will include an hour of Devotional Sounds (5am-6am) featuring faith-inspired music for Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Christians.
The first of two Wrap news programmes will now start at 12:30pm and Nihal will host the daily phone-in at the heart of the daytime schedule, where listeners give their take on the news story of the day, from 1pm till 3pm.
Andy Parfitt, Controller, Asian Network, said: "This is the second stage of the strategic development for Asian Network. All stations need to keep evolving and these changes will work well with our new breakfast show."
