David Prever is joining Magic Classical to host afternoons, replacing Hannah Cox.
David will host Calming Classics Weekend every Saturday and Sunday from 2pm to 6pm on the station previously known as Scala.
He has previously presented on Magic Radio and Jazz FM, as well as Heart, LBC, Smooth Radio and BBC Local Radio.
Most recently, David presented BBC Oxford Breakfast.
Magic Classical and Jazz FM Content Director Nick Pitts said David would have “an instant connection with our audience” through the music and the wider topics that interest listeners.
David said: “I’m delighted to be joining Magic Classical. Playing the music that I love, on a weekend afternoon, for an audience who feels the same way, is about as good as it gets.”
He joins a refreshed Calming Classics Weekend schedule, with Jack Pepper on Weekend Breakfast, Ayanna Witter Johnson on Saturday daytime and Sonali Shah on Sunday daytime, immediately after her Magic Radio show.
Darren Redick and Fran Godfrey host Saturday and Sunday evenings respectively.
Hannah Cox, who previously hosted Weekend Afternoon, has stepped back from the station for personal reasons after being part of Magic Classical since its launch in 2019.
