Pat Sissons has announced he is stepping down from his weekday morning show at BBC Radio Solent.
He shared the news with his listeners last week in an emotional segment during his programme.
Pat talked about the changes coming to local radio stations, and what they mean for local listeners across the South, explaining how more programmes will be shared with other stations.
The final morning show, of which he has hosted for three and a half years, will be on July 7th.
Lou Hannan, currently host of the station’s Drive show, is taking over the slot from July 10th.
“I couldn’t be happier that someone from inside the BBC Radio Solent tent is taking over the show,” Pat added.
Pat added he will be taking over the Sunday evening 6pm till 10p show from June 25th.
Before joining the BBC, Pat worked at many other radio stations in the area including Spire FM, SouthCity, Kestrel FM and Original 106.
A BBC spokesperson said: “We are launching a new daytime show with Lou Hannan on the 10th July. Pat is a big part of Radio Solent and will continue to be – he is presenting a new Sunday show starting 25th June.”
