Following the poaching by Capital Radio of Emma Forbes from Heart 106.2 to host a weekend show, Capital's midlands station BRMB yesterday confirmed they had snapped up Phil Upton, a presenter on Heart's Birmingham station. He will front the station's weekday morning show and a show called Saturday Rhythm Birmingham.
Announcing the appointment BRMB controller Adam Bridge told reporters: "Having had over half of Heart's weekly audience tuning him to him, he's already proved himself a massive hit with listeners."
