Year: 2024

Former Hallam FM and BBC Radio Sheffield presenter Howard Pressman is joining Radio Essentials to host a weekend show.

Howie left BBC Radio Sheffield last November following the changes in BBC local radio and will now host Sunday mornings 10am – 1pm on Radio Essentials across Sheffield and South Yorkshire from 10th November.
Howie said: “It’s been a year since my last radio show on BBC Radio Sheffield, so when the offer came in from Steve and the team at Radio Essentials to have a Sunday show, then I didn’t think twice.
“The new live show will be a chance to be involved again with some great listeners, who are as excited as I am that I’m back on the airwaves across Sheffield and South Yorkshire.”
A spokesperson for Radio Essentials said: “Radio Essentials is so excited to have Howie on board as we start to build a station dedicated to the people of Sheffield and South Yorkshire. This is just the start of our journey to become the number one commercial radio station in Sheffield.”

Gok Wan is to be the new co-host of Magic Breakfast with Harriet Scott from the end of January.

This follows Ronan Keating’s departure last July. Gok has been covering on the show recently and announced the news on air this morning, that he’s becoming the permanent replacement.
Gok will be joining Harriet permanently every weekday from Monday 27th January 2025.
Gok said: “I am beyond excited to be joining the Magic Breakfast team. I have loved working with the crew and of course getting to know our fabulous listeners.
“I have truly fallen in love with radio, and I don’t even mind the early mornings, I’m an early riser anyway!
“We are going to have a brilliant time, and I want you all to join us in the daily fun. Harriet is a wonderful co-host, and I can’t wait for our Magic to happen!”
Harriet added: “I know that our listeners are going to love spending their mornings with Gok just as much as I do. We’re all going to have some adventures together in 2025 and I can’t wait!”
