Former TFM, Magic and Smooth presenter Tom Davies is joining UKRD station Star Radio in Darlington to host the breakfast show.
Tom most recently spent three years on weekday breakfast for Smooth Radio in the North East and has most recently been doing weekend shows and cover at Real Radio.
Tom told RadioToday.co.uk: "I am extremely excited taking up the reigns of the breakfast show in a part of the world I’ve always considered to be home. I cannot wait to join the Star Radio team and begin to meet the Star listeners."
Star Radio’s Programme Controller James Horspool said: "I am delighted Tom will be joining us to take Star Radio’s breakfast show to the next level. Tom is a uniquely gifted broadcaster; natural, warm, funny and is always a pleasure to listen to. I have no doubt he is the right man for the prime job at the best radio station in the North East!"
The station's Managing Director Mark Reason added: "To have attracted a broadcaster of Tom’s calibre following the recruitment of many of the North East’s best commercial talent is a testament to the fact Star Radio is really going places this year. I am very proud of the amazing team we have in place. They are poised to deliver outstanding entertainment for our local listeners and results for our local advertisers!"
