Former BBC Breakfast presenter Bill Turnbull is to join Classic FM as the host of two new weekend programmes, beginning April 9.

Turnbull, who'll present Saturday and Sunday mid-mornings from 10am to 1pm, commented 'I am delighted to be joining Classic FM, with its distinguished line-up of presenters. It will be a real joy to turn from news to music, especially at a more civilised hour, and I'm looking forward to it very much'.
