 Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2011 5:29 pm Post subject: Johnny Vaughan Has Left Capital Radio |
 |
|
| Quote: | Johnny Vaughan has left the breakfast show on 95.8 Capital FM. His last show was today.
The London show will be hosted by Greg Burns and current co-host Lisa Snowdon until a replacement is announced in the new year.
Johnny took over the show in 2004 from Chris Tarrant.
I have just loved doing this job,” said Johnny “but after all these years of getting up in the middle of the night, I really think the time is right to hand over the microphone to someone else. It’s been a joy waking up London every morning and a thrill to have been part of the broadcasting tapestry of this great city.”
Richard Park, Global’s Director of Broadcasting said: “Johnny has done a fantastic job over the years, particularly recently, building the programme with Lisa Snowdon, into London’s most popular commercial radio breakfast show. Johnny is a skilled broadcaster on radio and television,” added Park, “and we thank him for his time with 95.8 Capital FM, while wishing him every success for the future.” |

Guessing his contract was due to be renewed and didn't want to continue. I would think the huge pay had been reduced over the years. Some are suggesting Dave Berry to take over. |

I did think that, sudden departure from Capital is strange. He did bring in the listeners, so that wouldn't be the reason. I guess we will know in due course. He was good on Big Breakfast. |

Apparently he was told they weren't renewing his contract and he decided to leave immediately instead of working out the time. |
