As of January 11th all of BBC Radio 5 Live’s late-night output is scheduled from the corporation’s Oxford Road studios in Manchester.
Livesey
The shake-up at the station sees Tony Livesey replace Richard Bacon Monday to Thursday and Stephen Nolan, who already broadcasts from Oxford Road, will be doing Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
"Tony's new programme is a major landmark in the planning for 5 Live's full move in 2011,” said Radio 5 Live controller Adrian Van Klaveren.
“The new late-night show should be essential listening for anyone who wants to be informed and entertained at the end of the day."
This year, the main presenters from 5 Live have been making it up to the North West to look around their new home, with Peter Allen describing it as “fantastic” and Nicky Campell pointing out that Salford isn’t Helmand province.
"The 5 Live audience have always responded well to Tony's warm and witty style of broadcasting. His work on Inside Sport and on sports programmes in the North-West means that he gets to talk to some of the biggest sports stars in the country,” said Jonathan Aspinwall, the station’s editor in Manchester and former breakfast show producer on BBC Manchester.
"Tony will also be at the heart of the 5 Live news operation – covering some of the biggest stories of 2010."
