Broadcaster Will Best to host Sunday mornings on Hits Radio

Will Best is taking over Hits Radio Sunday mornings in the new year.
His first show will be on Sunday January 12th at 9am.
Will has been broadcasting since his television debut in 2010 and is known for his work on Channel 4, ITV and the BBC.
Will has recently covered for Sam Thompson whilst the regular Hits Radio Evening Show host has been Down Under with ITV for I’m a Celebrity…Unpacked! and was also the host of an Off the Record session for the station with David Guetta this summer.
Will said: “I knew if I hung around the Hits Radio studios long enough they’d have to give me a job eventually!
“I can’t want to get cracking in the New Year and spend Sunday mornings with listeners for all the biggest tunes and biggest throwbacks.
“It’s going to be a great start to 2025.”
Will has previously covered at BBC Radio 1 but this will be his first regular radio show. Wes Butters is currently listed as the Sunday morning host on Hits and will remain part of the schedule elsewhere.
