BBC Radio Leicester shakes up schedule

Lunchtime presenter Jonathan Lampon is moving to BBC Radio Leicester’s breakfast show from next week.

Regional TV weather presenter Sally Pepper gets the lunchtime slot, while current breakfast host Ben Jackson moves to the 3-6pm show.

Jonathan will be joined on breakfast by roving reporter Julie Mayer and sports broadcaster Martin Ballard. Jim Davis remains in the 9am-12noon slot.

Justin Bones, Managing Editor, BBC Radio Leicester, says: “This is an exciting time for BBC Radio Leicester as we continue to bring you news and stories from across the region, in a way that no other local radio station does. This year Leicestershire and Rutland have the Olympic Torch Relay, the Queen’s Jubilee and hosting Team GB in preparation for the Olympics. We are proud to be at the forefront of the coverage for all these events as the station for your city and your county.”
