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.”
