With the departures of Fi Glover and Jane Garvey, the BBC will bid goodbye to two more high-profile broadcasters.
The couple, who have hosted the popular BBC Sounds podcast Fortunately since 2017, will broadcast a new live afternoon program and a Times Radio podcast four times a week.
Glover and Garvey are the latest in a long line of high-profile BBC broadcasters. Vanessa Feltz joined TalkTV, while Global hired news anchors Emily Maitlis and Andrew Marr.
Glover and Garvey’s show will launch on October 10, with details of the podcast to be released soon. Their BBC podcast will continue until the end of the year.
In a statement, Garvey said: “I’ve had a brilliant time working for the BBC. Now I’m delighted to be joining the award-winning team at Times Radio. We can’t wait to start on a live mix of illuminating conversation, topical interviews and occasional carping.”
Glover said: “It’s been an amazing 29 years with the BBC. But I look forward to bringing Times Radio listeners some extraordinary stories from some extraordinary people with Jane.”
