Joe McGrath is taking over as host of BBC Radio Manchester’s breakfast show from Anna Jameson and Phil Trow.

He’s been presenting on the station for over a year, and will continue to host BBC Radio Manchester’s United podcast The Devil’s Advocate on BBC Sounds.

Joe says: “I’m absolutely buzzin’ to get started – I love Manchester and the chance to wake up the greatest city in the world is something I can’t wait to do.”

BBC Radio Manchester Executive Editor, Andrew Bowman says: “Joe will do a great job for Greater Manchester with a show packed with fun, personality and all the information listeners need to get their day off to a great start”.
