6music announces new weekend line-up
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 12 March 2012
Ahead of this weekend’s tenth anniversary celebrations, BBC 6music announced some new shows last week with a revamp of its Saturday schedule. The station will provide a new home for Gilles Peterson following his dropping from Radio 1’s output, and in a slot much more friendly than his long running show on the nation’s favourite, airing from 3-6pm each Saturday.
Elsewhere Liz Kershaw will lose an hour of her early afternoon slot, ‘The Craig Charles Funk And Soul Show’ will run an hour earlier, Tom Robinson will get a new Saturday night programme, and Jon Holmes will take over what optimists like myself continue to call the Adam & Joe slot, from 10am-1pm.
In other 6music changes, Stuart Maconie’s ‘Freakzone’ will move to an 8pm Sunday evening slot, while it’s been confirmed that the station’s early breakfast show, fronted by Chris Hawkins, will be relocated to the BBC’s new Northern HQ in Salford.
