Christian to get a Co-Host

Absolute Radio has hired Fifth Gear presenter Vicki Butler-Henderson to work alongside Christian O’Connell on the Breakfast Show.

“Christian was a ringmaster doing all the acts himself,” said Clive Dickens, chief operating officer, Absolute Radio “Vicky will not be a co-host – she will be a team member. But she will be there to help. Christian’s had sidekicks at other broadcasters and we wanted to give some of that back.”

"This is a fantastic opportunity - the chance to work with Christian and his team on what is an amazing Breakfast Show, and working with people who have the vision and the means to re-write the definition of radio is too good an opportunity to pass up." said Vicky Butler-Henderson.

Vicky joins the team including Ritchie Firth who has recently joined the Breakfast Show team as executive producer and Brian Murphy, producer on the show.

does this mean we will be hearing less of Brian? He makes the breakfast show funnier than if it was just Christian! and what happened to Roque?

I don't think so. I think we'll still hear lots of Brian. Roque was promoted to Executive Station Producer.
