Get ready to shake up your weekends because Magic Radio is turning up the volume with a brand-new lineup that’s bound to get you talking! And here’s the big news: Rich Clarke, the beloved voice behind shows on Heart, Capital, and Hit40UK, is officially taking over Saturday Breakfast on a permanent basis. But here’s where it gets exciting—this isn’t just another gig for Rich; it’s his first weekly show after months of covering, and he’s ready to kickstart your Saturdays with a playlist that spans from the nostalgic 80s to today’s hottest hits. “I’m so thrilled to join the brilliant team at Magic Radio,” Rich gushed, adding, “I can’t wait to wake up the UK every Saturday morning!” But this isn’t just about Rich—it’s part of a major weekend overhaul that’s introducing fresh voices, new time slots, and a whole lot of energy to both Saturdays and Sundays. And this is the part most people miss: the lineup isn’t just about music; it’s about creating a vibe for every part of your weekend. Mel Giedroyc is bringing her signature charm to Saturday nights, while Anna Richardson takes the reins of the Sunday Morning Request Show. Dan Morrissey steps in with a brand-new weekend program from 4pm to 7pm, and Jo Russell curates The Perfect Playlist every Friday. Meanwhile, Paul Hayes keeps the late-night crowd company on weekdays. Content Director Paul Sylvester couldn’t hide his excitement, welcoming Rich and Anna to the Magic Radio family and noting, “They’ve already made themselves very much at home.” But here’s the controversial question: With so many changes, will the new lineup live up to the hype, or will listeners miss the old Magic Radio vibe? Let’s dive into the full schedule and see what’s in store. Rich’s journey to Saturday Breakfast is no small feat—starting at CFM, he’s hopped across the country, from Key 103 to Wyvern, Trent, Capital, and Heart, where he most recently hosted the Heart South Breakfast. Now, he’s bringing that experience to Magic, and it’s clear he’s here to make weekends unforgettable. But what do you think? Is this the refresh Magic Radio needed, or are you nostalgic for the old days? Let us know in the comments—we’re all ears! Here’s the full weekend schedule to help you plan your listening: Saturday: 7am – Rich Clarke, 10am – Gaby Roslin, 1pm – Jo Russell, 4pm – Dan Morrissey, 6pm – Mel Giedroyc’s Saturday Night Show, 8pm – Mellow Magic with Lynn Parsons, 12am – Miri Green.
