Paul O'Grady will host a show on a rival station less than a year since he left BBC Radio 2. The comedian and presenter stopped appearing in Radio 2's Sunday afternoon slot last August in the wake of a scheduling change which would have involved him swapping with Rob Beckett every few months.
O'Grady is now due to appear on Boom Radio for an Easter Sunday special. The independent UK radio station is aimed at Baby Boomers, defined by the National Archives as people born between 1946 and 1964.
He previously hosted a Boom Radio programme on Christmas Day 2022. This attracted a record number of listeners to the channel founded during the pandemic.
