Kevin Duala is to become the new host of the BBC Radio Merseyside Breakfast Show.
The regular reporter The One Show has previously presented the Sunday breakfast show on BBC Radio Sussex and Surrey, before heading to BBC Radio Merseyside covering for Snelly and Helen.
He’ll be working with veteran journalist Phil Cooper from the BBC Merseyside Newsroom and award-winning sports journalist Giulia Bould.
Senior Content Producer Jess Robbins and Journalism Co-ordinator Claire Bryan remain in their current production roles at breakfast.
“It’s official! Dreams do come true. I’m beyond thrilled to be presenting the Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Merseyside,” said Duala.
“What an honour to wake up the best city in the world. This is our show, not my show – and I want you to be a massive part of it. I’m genuinely counting down the days… I can’t wait to get behind that microphone and say “good morning, Merseyside” for the very first time!
He takes up the role from 10th June.
It means that Phil Munns moves from Breakfast to the weekend sports programme as part of the station’s investment into the Total Sport Merseyside brand.
“Kev is born and raised in Toxteth and loves the people and places who make Merseyside what it is. He’s Merseyside through and through, and we’re working hard on a show that has our brilliant Radio Merseyside listeners firmly front and centre,” explained Ben Anderson, Radio Merseyside Executive Editor.
“With Giulia Bould launching Total Sport at Breakfast and with Paul Salt continuing to build the Total Sport Merseyside brand across the week, and now with the addition of Phil Munns bringing all of the weekend sport action, our audience are getting the very best from their favourite Merseyside voices.”
