The BBC has announced a major shake-up of its 6 Music schedule — meaning a Manc music legend will only host a standalone show once a week.
From June, Marc Riley will share his evening slot with Gideon Coe as part of a slew of changes to the station’s night-time programming. A new show, called New Music Fix Daily, will occupy the 7pm-9pm slot from Monday to Thursdays.
That will be fronted by Tom Ravenscroft and Deb Grant, presenting from Salford. Riley & Coe will then follow that, from 10pm to midnight, with Marc taking over duties on Mondays, Gideon on Thursdays, and the pair co-hosting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
