Tim Smith and Fran Godfrey join Magic Classical weekday schedule

Bauer’s Magic Classical is refreshing its weekday schedule from Monday 9th June.

Charles Nove will continue to host the weekday breakfast programme, while former BBC Radio 2 presenter Tim Smith joins to host the weekday morning show.

Another ex-Radio 2 presenter, Fran Godfrey, will present evenings from Sunday to Thursday.

Also joining the schedule is Forth 1 and Magic Soul’s Jo Cochrane, who will take on weekday afternoons. In addition, Tony Minvielle joins from Jazz FM to present a new Friday night show.

Tim Smith said: “I can’t tell you how pleased and genuinely excited I am to be given this opportunity. I’ve been a fan of Magic Classical since its launch and it’s great to actually now be a part of it. I look forward to sharing the music and conversation with our brilliant audience.”

Fran Godfrey added: “I’m so thrilled to be joining the team at Magic Classical; truly some of the loveliest people in broadcasting, which is very important to me.

“An evening show is a wonderful opportunity to play superb music and fulfil my personal challenge to bring calm, serenity and joy – whatever is going on in the world. I can hardly wait!”

Nick Pitts, Content Director of Magic Classical and Jazz FM, said: “Since rebranding in September last year and having some time to refocus Magic Classical, it’s great to be able to create a line-up of superb broadcasters on our daytime schedule.

“Having Tim and Fran join Charles to continue his great work is perfect, while Jo, a consummate broadcaster, is an incredibly exciting new addition for our family.”
