Times Radio breakfast host Aasmah Mir announces departure saying “on to the next”

Times Radio breakfast co-host Aasmah Mir has announced her departure from the show saying she’s “on to the next”.

Posting on social media this morning, Aasmah, who joined Times in 2020 from BBC Radio 4, said all good things must come to an end.

She said: “I’ve decided to step down from Times Radio Breakfast at the end of January.

“I want to say a few things. Joining TR in 2020 was the best decision I ever made. We started something from nothing. And I loved every day.

“Getting up at 3am has a huge impact on your home life, especially if you become a single parent. My daughter was 4 when I started this job and she just wants her mummy to take her to school again. She deserves a bit of normality and a less grumpy mum.

“What a fantastic bunch of people I’ve worked with. You know who you are. And Stig. 😁 I’m not sure how it worked but it did.

“I’ll miss our partnership, the times I was reduced to tears of laughter and couldn’t carry on. And to you, the listeners – thank you. On to the next. X.”

Times Radio Breakfast is currently hosted by Aasmah and Stig Abell.

No news on a replacement has been announced, and RadioToday has contacted Times Radio for more info.
