BBC 6 Music has announced a rejig to its evening schedules which will kick off in June and will see the launch of a new daily version of the station's 'New Music Fix' show, which currently airs in the early hours of Friday morning.
'New Music Fix Daily' - presented by Tom Ravenscroft and Deb Grant - will air from 7pm-9pm from Monday through Thursday, and will feature "the best of what is being made, performed and shared right now".
To make room in the schedule for the new programme, the existing evening and nighttime shows presented by Marc Riley and Gideon Coe will merge and become Riley & Coe, airing from 10pm-midnight. The two DJs will actually only co-present on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with Riley hosting solo on Mondays and Coe on Thursdays.
Another show currently airing on a weekly basis overnight will also get a new daily slot in between 'New Music Fix Daily' and 'Riley & Coe', that being 'Artist In Residence', the programme where different guest artists select the music.
Says Head Of 6 Music Samantha Moy: “A love of music unites all of our 6 Music presenters. And bringing Marc and Gid, and Tom and Deb, together means even more music will be found and shared with our audience, giving a new sound to 6 Music at night".
